Good to meet up with (Capo) Stewart today at the Aviation Centre. The UKMOC gear is safely stored ready for next Saturday.

Mr Gazza · 08-06-2019, 06:13 PM

Many thanks to Chris and Capo for getting the gear in place..

At least 4 of us will be at the site by about 9am to erect Capo's canopy and hang some banners about the place. If anyone else is willing to help, then you will be most welcome.

Still hoping for a nice big show of Monsters.. East Kirkby is about 20 miles inland of Skegness and so is an easy hit from a large chunk of England. This a great opportunity to see one of the nicest bike shows of the year and meet the friendly souls of UKMOC if you have not already done so. Guaranteed secure parking in a prime spot. (For your Monster) and all those lovely Italian bikes to see and hear, plus the Lancaster, Mosquito and the Aviation Museum.

Another shameless bump for this excellent event.

Some people are putting a big effort into making this a good show for UKMOC...All you have to do is turn up on a Monster.

I wonder if my cat herding skills will run to getting a club photo with all our bikes in front of the Lancaster?.. What do you reckon?

You are indeed a fully inducted Grand master Cat Herd yourself Mike, so maybe between us we can pull it off with a two pronged attack and a little help from Mr Blue Sky?..

Thanks for the WX update Chris... I'm optimistic... See you there again this year?

Sammy Miller’s events team have confirmed that they’re travelling up from Hampshire tomorrow. Together with a promising weather forecast for Saturday in Lincolnshire, everything’s looking good for a great event

, let's hope so Chris, really looking forward to this one, setting off mid morning tomorrow and hoping for a dry trip east.
See you Saturday,

Mr Gazza · 14-06-2019, 06:55 PM

One more sleep for me now….If I can get some!

Evening Sun is drying the roads and it's looking good.

Heads up for any folk heading from the East...I think there's trouble on the A17 between Kings Lynn and Sutton Bridge.. (Not that I usually go that way.) I just can't get Google maps to show that stretch as a route even if I ask for directions from Lynn to Sutton Bridge, it just goes every which way!
Maybe just heavy traffic at this time of day or an accident or closure....Check before you travel..

or just follow yellow diversion arrows on day.
stoopid google

Lynn to Wisbech (A47) and back up A1101 to Sutton Bridge according AA (I lived near Gedney for a few years)

bigredduke · 14-06-2019, 07:04 PM

Does anyone know if the flooding at Wainfleet & surrounding area has affected East Kirkby? Looked really bad on the TV local news.
