Having a quick browse through this, I'm not sure if I'm going to the right weekender!

It'll probably be a day trip for me on the Sunday. Cheers.

What's the reason for not going to the Mill next year?

There were many reasons for a change - this has not been a new idea , its been looked into before but it was a bit of a case of now or never

1 - pricing - value for money was lacking at the Mill for 2013
2 - the option of a two night stay with more rooms available at the Wroxton
3 - rooms - lack of tea/coffee making facilities and shabby accommodation/cold showers in the Mill (and a Plague of flying ants)
4 - dwindling numbers
5 - general change of scene
6 - couple nice pubs a quiet stroll from the Wroxton
7 - plenty of B&B/motel options in Banbury for those who do not wish to stay at hotel

There is no reason for the next 'organisers' to not go back to the Mill - we felt however that the superb car park was not reason alone to stop us from seeking out new horizons & new ride outs -

As a new comer to to club (I've only attended the Mill on four occasions) I think that Charlotte and Martin are firstly very courageous for organising the weekender and secondly finding a new venue, it's time to move on and I personally am looking forward to the new location and wish them all the luck in the world with their venture...

Don't forget folks it's up to us all at some time over that weekend to make an effort to attend and thank them both for taking on the task...

I am also looking forward to a change of venue. As buzzbomb has said it would be nice to see some new faces and have more people popping in for a visit and maybe a ride out who are not staying at the weekender.
Please come and say hello i am sure you will be made very welcome.

I am sure there will be. Be good to see you come along for support

Char · 17-12-2012, 06:56 PM

Hi

There are loads of B&B's in nearby Banbury - Trip Advisor is often a good option for a search

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotels-...nd-Hotels.html

Not sure though that by the time you've paid taxi fares etc (if you drinking!) staying at the Wroxton would be cheaper

There is also a campsite just up the road to which I posted a link to earlier

Hope to see you there!
