Wimbotsham. Fenman 2019
As I now know one of the Fenman prime movers quite well, the possibility of UKMOC having a stand there on the August Bank Holiday Monday, has presented itself.
The pitch will cost nothing, but everyone still pays the normal entrance fee into the field where all the stalls are, that also gets you into the school playground to see all the display bikes. We can have enough room for the gazebo and as many Monsters as are likely to attend. I am also 90% sure that we will be allowed to park one car or van behind the gazebo for maximum convenience. I know that they are going to clamp down on arrival times for exhibitors this year as the Harley owners always arrive late and cause problems riding through the public to get to their pitch. I think no later than 10am was mentioned. If nothing else it's the ultimate secure parking for the event! Another way to see the show too. Anyone up for it?

That's a smashing offer Capo.. Thank you and yes please...
That's got the ball rolling, all we need now is Monsters that don't mind an early-ish start.

Thanks to Capo for gazebo supply.
Monday august 26th then, just to put a date on it. This is always a really nice event, with plenty of interesting bikes of absolutely all types to see, and in a really nice setting. Friendly locals too. One of my favourite outings of the year. Count me in. |

Count me in!
The Fenman must be one of the best bike shows in East Anglia. Where else would a village allow thousands of bikes to descend for a day, take over, eat, show off rare and interesting machinery, listen to loud music, then clear off until next year!

As I haven't been booked into anything else for the late summer bank holiday (yet), I'm in.

I think I've just managed to confirm a booking for a pitch at the Fenman on the August Bank Holiday Monday.
Grumpy and I will deal with getting Capo's canopy on site on the day, or the day before. Together with a large selection of banners, or a selection of large banners even! All we need is folk with Monsters to turn up and enjoy a fabulous day...

Our pitch has been confirmed, but no idea whereabouts on the field we will be.
I have been told that we must have the stand in place by 9am, but it's not clear yet if there is a latest time that bikes can enter the field to get to the stand. Hopefully the Norton owners will have their gazebos up the night before, so I will see if I can blag some on site storage for our stuff overnight.... Must remember to sharpen my penknife.

My apologies, I had beanz for tea three times in a row this week.
It's a grass school sports field so it should be easy to guy down this time... I'm investigating screw in pegs.. good if the ground is soft, hammer in ones if the ground is hard.

Timely bump for this, as we are now into August.
Pitch is booked, canopy and banners sorted... Just need Monsters.. Grumpy is kindly getting the paraphernalia to the site on Sunday evening. We will be very grateful for any assistance on Monday morning to set the thing up. We are hoping to be there by 9am to set up, so we'll be pleased to see any extra hands. Please come and show your Monster. Please try and be on site before 10am, as they really don't like bikes riding through the public when they open later on. You might have to push it across the field or risk getting turned away if you're too late. Don't miss being part of the biggest and nicest show of the year.

My friend with his red bull monster is on about attending the show, will he be able to put his bike on the stand if he gets there before 10? I'm not sure if I'll make it my self.

Yes of course. All welcome.
Come to think of it we could probable squeeze the KTM in, if you managed to make it. Maybe behind the Gazebo or somewhere discreet?

I'll try my best to make it, I could always bring a cover to hide it...
I will let him him know and find out if he is definitely going. |
