Moley1 flagged this up last year and led a run there, from Caxton's Gibbet.

Moley, myself, Imoc Grumpy and Stinger101 all had a whale of a time.

Some interesting and unusual bikes and a fantastic turn out of Ferraris and all the other exotic Italian marques.

Smashing day out.... Anybody up for it?

utopia · 22-06-2017, 11:19 PM

Could be, yes.
Diary's clear.
Pencilled in.

Sounds like fun, I'll check the work schedule for that nearer the date.

Dukedesmo · 23-06-2017, 08:52 AM

Might be up for this, I have been a few times in the past and there are always interesting bikes & cars to see.

Grumpy · 23-06-2017, 06:42 PM

Count me in!

Mr Gazza · 24-06-2017, 09:38 AM

Yay! Good response.... a pre show meet might be tricky, we seem to be coming from all directions!

utopia · 25-06-2017, 10:52 PM

Apart from me and Dukedesmo.
.....Giz a pm if you fancy a rendezvous.

Mr Gazza · 26-06-2017, 05:32 PM

I was thinking of going a different way this year.
Hooking South of Peterborough and going down the A605, A45 and A6. Rather than the A10 or A11.

So maybe I could meet up with the Northerners? If you have somewhere in mind?

Grumpy · 26-06-2017, 09:20 PM

We could meet in Higham Ferriers, which is on the A6 /A45 junction.
I've had a look on line and there is a cafe in the High St with good reviews.

We could meet at 11am?

Mr Gazza · 26-06-2017, 10:09 PM

Sounds like a plan, oh great one.

Hope they do good cream teas.

utopia · 26-06-2017, 10:21 PM

Well done, Grumpy.
I also thought that would be a good spot but failed to find a suitable meeting point.

Meeting up there, even though its only a short distance from the venue, would mean that we could all arrive, and therefore park up, together.

Moley1 · 27-06-2017, 06:28 AM

Unfortunately, I can't make it this year...have a good one!!

Just a thought, if there's a few of you, might be worth contacting the organiser Ciro to arrange a dedicated parking spot nearer the show area.

I follow them on Facebook so am happy to contact on your behalf and see what he says....?!

Mr Gazza · 27-06-2017, 05:13 PM

Sorry to hear you can't make it Moley. I was hoping to catch up.

A club patch would be cool if it's possible to arrange? We have 5 potential bikes already... And more will come.

Do we have to buy tickets this year? we were just waved through last year as we were on Italian bikes.

Moley1 · 28-06-2017, 08:24 AM

I've contacted Ciro, the organiser. He has sent me the following email with a special deal for the entry charge. It's still £5 (plus booking fee), but you get a £3 breakfast voucher and an event mug (woohoo!!). He recommended all arriving together so that you all get the same patch....

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Stuart, please pass this on to all your club attendees, Thanks Ciro

We had better meet up a bit earlier than 11 guys?.. Maybe just a quick cuppa and then on to the show to use the breakfast voucher?
