Last years 'breakfast clubs' were a great success, so here's the detail for the 2008 events which have just been announced.

I am shoping nearer the time the regions can hook up to arrange some big ride ins like last year !!!

Wot no Italian Day - shame, still as its only down the road from me I'm happy to go along

The 4th May one looks like the best option if we are going to have a mass ride-in again. I'll be up for that.

Me too - and depending on how work goes on Justine's MG then we might be there for the soft top day....

June 1 looks favourable.

me too

can't wait and now it's feb, time to put xmas and jan behind us and look forward to the summer!

Definitely count me in when I am about!!!

Anyone going this Sunday, 1st June? :-)

Have pre registered - - but not sure if I will actualy go in the car or on the bike

If plenty of Monnies are going then I will take the bike

Weather looks good and I have decided to go and pre registered. Anyone know what time it kicks off? I am sure I am not blind or stupid but I cant find it on the website.

I have also pre-registered but have no idea when it all starts as couldn't find anything on the site either.

Guess i'll aim to be there for about 10ish as googlemaps reckons it's about 2 hours from north London.

Will keep an eye out for other monsters and make sure to say hello.

Mike.

Mike, you want to convoy down? I'm in Dulwich.

If so, drop me a PM with your mobile no and I'll call you.

Any londoners interested, there will be a couple of us heading off from here:
