I’m not sure how often people check the post, I would suggest a new thread and maybe a pm to everyone involved

The new hotel looks good, we will update on our attendance

Good work

Sterling work Mike, to reorganise so swiftly and so well after such an unexpected and rather shattering turn of events.
Well done indeed.
You must be shattered now, yourself.

I have a prior booking over that weekend but I am looking into rearranging that if I can.
Will update as soon as I know more .. hopefully within 24hrs.

Mike, as discussed today, I can’t make the adjusted dates as I’m away visiting a mate in Spain, so I am indeed a casualty........such is life!

I know from our chats and messages today that you’ve put a lot of effort in at very short notice to get this sorted, so well done, you’ve played a blinder!

Catch up when you’ve recovered!

Thanks everyone, group response!

Guys, really appreciate the posts, and again I can only apologise to the guys who are now missing out through no fault of their own, I am sad about that but hopefully there will be plenty of opportunity in the future to meet up.

We were building up nicely in a controlled manner and in 24 hrs we have had to roll a double six and start all over, Steve , you have been an integral,part of this from the start, hope we can still do the PowerPoint together

Liz, brilliant you are off the mark, Helen is the contact as previously posted, the rates are agreed so although I am not seeing her until Thursday just go ahead and book....did she give you any "code" to quote?

Geoff and Mark are heading for portmeirion tomorrow to finalise the arrangements there, all jobs that were on the list but now happening twice as quick,.......hey Liz can I borrow your tag line,

Cheers everyone, ......never give up

No worries mike, I need to buy a new laptop first, times against us as the images etc still need pulling together, but I’ll do what I can and we can catch up over a beer in the next week or so as time permits
If you fall over 10 times, get up 11!

Lol, “never give up, never surrender” from the fantastic film, Galaxy Quest.

Stafford made the booking, he’s not sure who he spoke to, but we thought we’d get booked.

Well done again on getting this sorted and the itinerary looks great

National ride out

So, here we are the day after the day before.....believe me we will have such a laugh about yesterday.......

Geoff and Mark braved the elements ( wall to wall sunshine ! ) and went to sample the delights of portmeirion, we knew it would be good but this is one not to be missed, the guys got a great reception from an enthusiastic events team and polished off the planned itinerary, which is as follows,

Arrive at the castle 13:00 to 13:30,

Two course Sunday lunch will be £23.95, this gets you the complimentary ticket into the village which would normally cost £12.00.

We then propose to do the voting for the trophies.

Have a wander,enjoy the village,as I said previously it's where the prisoner was filmed and is a unique stunning setting.

Then when either visitor numbers drop off or when the gates close we get to ride the bikes into the village for a photo shoot.

We then head back to the hotel.

This promises to be a day that will last in the memory for a long long time, the guys were spoiled today, we have a dedicated dining area booked in the castle and the food was top drawer.

I have asked for an electronic version of the menu to be pinged to me which will be posted as soon as I get it, this will be good folks

Portmerion is a magical place, it pays tricks on your eyes and messes with your mind. An architectural kaleidoscope and a wonderful photographic backdrop, with literally a different view with every step. Sir Clough Williams-Ellis was a true genius.. Looking forward to another visit, without a Migraine!

Watch out for Rover... Be seeing you.
