Great thanks

Thanks Duncan, that's spot on. When I contacted them last week I got the impression they had taken credit card details to secure the room but deposits wont be taken until later.

The dates for your diaries are 24th, 25th & 26th May, that’s the second May bank holiday.

The hotel has 19 rooms available and these have been provisionally reserved as follows:-
3 standard twin rooms;
10 standard double rooms for single occupancy;
1 VIP room that can be a twin room;
2 other VIP rooms
3 luxury rooms.

We have agreed rates at £300.00 for the 3 nights based on 2 sharing ( all room types ) ,single occupancy would be £270.00 for the 3 nights.
Rates are inclusive of full cooked breakfast.

Booking , as this year, is direct with the hotel, members just need to quote "Ducati Club" to get the agreed rates.
The hotel will confirm by E-Mail but deposits are not required until March 2019.


Sarah and Anna are the contacts at the hotel:
Tel: 01978 861661
e-mail: info@whitewatershotel.co.uk
web page: www.whitewatershotel.co.uk

As bookings are direct I am requesting a donation ,on a voluntary basis ,to cover the clubs expenses for the weekender with surplus going back into the Club, it worked well at this year's event . £10:00 for Hotel guests and £5:00 for day visitors appeared to be acceptable, I will post up a paypal link or cash on the day if you prefer.

The details are in the embryonic stages however the current plan includes:


- a buffet on Friday night ( approx. £12:00/head )
- Dinner on Saturday night ( approx. £25:00/head )
- possible Hog Roast on Sunday afternoon ( tbc £££)

There will of course be ride outs taking in some of the best biking roads in the UK, we look forward to welcoming you "up north"

If they are roasting an Harley on Sunday, I’ll definitely be there.
Regards,Ken.

.....ah that would be all well and good if there wasn't a slight change to the details .....er, no hog roast......something much more memorable is planned.

Hopefully see you guys at least one of the days. My first bike event! I’m starting a new job with shift work so can’t commit to anything yet until I know my roster.

It will be great to see you Yianni , hopefully we may even get a chance before the weekender I will keep you posted,

Great that sounds good.

Has anyone paid there deposits yet?

Hi Chris,

Although I understand the hotel has taken your card details at the time of booking,Sarah had said she was not taking any deposits until the end of March. I will check and post up the response.

where was the overflow hotel? I'm sure someones booked down the road but i cant find the post

Hi char, like Gazza says no official overflow hotel but dacs is at the hand, closer still is wild pheasant which was a potential venue but didn't have the capacity, may have some rooms available though.

There are some rooms available still at the white waters on Friday, 3 when I spoke to them last week, and 3 on the Sunday night but no availability on the Saturday.

That's utterly unfair - I wouldn't describe Martin as a straggler.

OK Folks, its been a while since I posted any activity for the weekender, I can assusre you things are moving a pace in the background so as well as some picture teasers we were out and about today and can confirm one of the places of interest on the Saturday ride out will be the sygun copper mine.

Met Mike, Bitza on this very forum, and had a good old chat about a visit. There is a nice cafe for a pit stop for those who dont want to venture under ground and a 40 minute visit for those who fancy the experience.

As plans get finalised I will be posting them here so watch this space, meantime enjoy the views you will be seeing in may
