XT660.COM 10th Anniversary Party - Saturday 21st May 2016
 

Below text EDITED on 7th of November 2016


Dear forumites, please note, next year on the 9th of May this forum would be 10 years old!!

So what would be a better idea than to gather as many :660: knuckleheads and have a massive party at a very special venue?

The Venue has been finally agreed and this is the Deans Diner in Chatham Dockside, Medway, Kent, full details of the venue and address plus directions at this link: http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=24848

As it is a 10th Anniversary, it is for us a very important achievement and I would love to see as many of you as possible attending from ALL over UK and why not maybe even our European friends! All are welcome.

Great idea. Count me in.

Oh yes please. I'll be there

I'm in, great idea!, and the Ace is a biking legend, I often go there. Steve

I've never been. Sounds like the perfect excuse.

Count me in as well.

I've only just realised that we missed an excuse for a party last year? It was the tenth anniversary of the XT660 production (2004-2014).

Of course XT660.com's tenth anniversary is far more significant and worthy of celebration! ;)

Yup, count me in. Is there anywhere to stay down there. Too far to do and come home in a day. Anywhere with secure parking or perhaps a camp site within 50 or 60 miles?

Steve here are the closest B&B with secure parking,

But as for campsites... I had a good look for you from up here and... couldn't spot one, seems to me like a well built up area to be honest :D

Seriously I don't know of any near the Ace but here is a listing of the closest which are quite far away, best stick with the B&B's above

Great idea! Would like to participate. But maybe we have to fix the date quit soon:-). I have just checked with one the recommended accomodations on yell. And it says for the 13.05.16 to 16.05.16: No rooms available!!!
BTW. Captian the 9th May is a Monday. At least on the mainland :-) :-).

I'd probably opt to camp at the Lee Valley site, which is sort of at the bottom end of Epping Forest between Waltham Abbey and Walthamstow. It's only a short 15 mile ride westwards round the North Circular straight to the Ace. It's also easy to access of the M25, and particularly handy for anyone coming from the North down the A1/M11.

If there are enough interested in camping, I'm sure arrangements could be made early enough for a group booking?

Just had a look at their site. That's just the ticket, count me in for that one

Steve

Oh yes, you are right about the 9th of may was looking at the wrong page on my wall calendar, anyway yes I will let you know the dates at the beginning of next year, it's a long shot from now but when we get close, I'll let you all know.

Cheers.

I'll be there for sure! Steve

Looks like this is my chance to have a visit to the ace cafe, a meet some more members of the forum and talk shop!!..and a great excuse to use Steve(greatescape as my sat nav)..:045:

Don't forget to sign up here then!

having trouble signing up..

In case you have not seen the edited first post of this thread please note the ACE CAFE venue has fallen through, because they made it impossible for us to have a comfortable experience.

I am now looking for a larger venue with better food, better location and as soon as I've sealed the the deal I will make it known to everyone.

Sorry but this **** up with the ACE was not down to me but rather them as Pleiades has been in copy of all my emails to the ACE and he has witnessed the awkwardness of them towards us.

Don't worry though, I have plenty more options up my sleeve. :angel4:

Ill tag onto you Steve (greatescape) and Jo as it seems you've been nominated to work the satnav. Thats 3 from Hampshire.

Good idea...we can plot a nice route nearer the time. ...how is that new seat working out by the way.? Steve
