UK 2010 Rockster meetup

[riceburner]

Ok - I'd like to do another Rockster gathering this year, sometime in the summer (more than likely), I'm thinking a lunch time meet somewhere as convenient/pleasant as possible for anyone interested to come and on a weekend.

I'm thinking the best "area" to meet up in would be somewhere between Oxford & Banbury areas - simply because it's fairly near the middle of the country, and a reasonable distance for all (I'm guessing here) - but if only those in London are interested... we'll do it in/near London.

Who would be interested?

Hello Riceburner.... long time no 'speak'. Not logged in here for a while now

i maybe interested in that... would you be thinking a weekend?
i'm up in Leicester so just about mid country

[DrAlf]

I’m just outside Banbury so it would be rude not to attend. Weekend\Day Ride\Meet for lunch is all fine by me. I could look to put together a route if required. Sounds good to me

I've only just joined and found this thread as a bit of good fortune. I'm in South Wales so Leicester is a big distance for me, but if you were further West (Birmingham sounds better), I'd think about a weekend away with my wife and throw a meet in for good measure.

Have not looked at the board for more than a month.

Bike is not in use and rotting away slowly in the garage, needs love and elbow grease 1st.
On top of everything I am going to be moving house (+60 miles to reach Oxfordshire).

But hey - must go to my 1st bike meeting!

Riceburner - please can you PM me once things get closer (like 6 weeks before the event)?

Cheers

sounds good to me as well - based in Warwick so would have a lie in if held at Banbury only 25 miles down the road.

[riceburner]

Looks like the Banbury area is going to be a good bet from the replies so far.

(I'll be coming from South London btw).

Anyone have any preference for when? I was thinking a Sunday Lunch meet maybe June/July time?

Great Idea but to short Notice to plan this between my several BMW Rockster Tours this Summer..... See also the largest Rockster Forum on: http://www.rockster-forum.com/forum.htm
In German, but me as Dutchman, I am very Happy on it and those Rockster Guys getting better on English !

Looking good so far.

Alf - could you recommend a decent pub somewhere in the area for the meet (if you know the area well). Must do good food and welcome bikes.
Cheers!

[torkyboy]

i'm in Bristol too, if its on the weekend, i would be interested. !!!

[borderbiker]

Any decisions yet guys, summers gettin on .Longest day today, tomorrow the nights will be drawing in. lol

[riceburner]

Sorry - no decisions yet! I'm afraid I'm having to move house in July, so my time is totally taken up until after that (about mid-july) - will have to see about doing something in August maybe? (oh the horror.... )

[DrAlf]

Afraid that I’ve only just checked this thread. More than happy to arrange a meet point, camping, pubs, roads whatever:) RB: I’ll PM you.

[riceburner]

Right -

Can I have a show of Hands (metaphorically speaking) for those who would be up for:

1) The Meet occurs on a SATURDAY late lunchtime, and we turn it into a Saturday overnight Camping event (ie we book some places at a campsite, preferably spitting distance from a good pub, meet daytrippers at the pub and then carry on after they're dragged away by familial duties)

OR


2) The Meet occurs on a SUNDAY mid-lunchtime at a suitable establishment, and we make it a couple of hours, then everyone goes home.

Please post below stating which would be preferable to you, and things will start to be arranged. As for dates - I'm thinking one of the first 3 weekends in August will probably be most suitable - any preferences, again - please post.

( IF the concensus appears to be for 2) I will probably do a saturday camp anyway, I'll just pitch up late afternoon rather than making a complete weekend of it. Anyone wishing to do the same will be welcome to join me, natch. )

[borderbiker]

Option 1 for me if i"M coming all that way am making a night of it.

[riceburner]

Won't be the 6-8th August, I've had an invite to the Pilgrim Rally.

[borderbiker]

TAKE IT NOTHING HAPPENING GUYS, I AM GOING TO THE HIZZY RUN AS A MARSHALL. CAMPING ON THE SATURDAY NIGHT BBQ AND BEER IF ANY OF YOU INTERESTED . RUN ON SUNDAY THE 29TH AUGUST. KNOCK HILL TO DENHOLM. SURELY SOME OF YOU COULD COME UP, CHEAP CAMPING GOOD ROADS AND I WILL ORGANISE A RUN ON THE MONDAY IF ANY OF YOU ARE UP OR IT. THERE" S NOT THAT MANY OF US SO COME ON................
