Here you go Garbo.............


Ok, thats the National Rally sorted. It will be at The Red Lion, at Llanafan fawr, 01597 860204 on the beautiful Beulah road. Dates are wknd 3rd and 4th August. Good beer and food in the pub, and some great roads for ride outs in the area. Camping is �5 a night, there are no showers, but there is a hut in the field with a toilet and sink.
Now, the pub also rents out the cottage next door which obviously would have a shower etc. The cost to book the cottage would be �140 for both nights and it is currently available for those dates. What are your views on booking the cottage and splitting the cost amongst all of us, so we have full facilities. also we could then draw lots for who gets to sleep in a bed, for a bit of fun http://www.thumperclub.com/smf/Smile...ult/smiley.gif

Put it in your diary and start planning.

This will be run in conjunction with the Thumper Club to boost numbers.
I will be in touch with some of the South Wales lads to see if someone would lead an off road rideout.

Hi guys,

Is this still going ahead and can I just turn up and meet you guys?

Thanks,
Greg.

Yes, still going ahead but interest from this site is not as expected!


I hope to be there early as i need a bit of a rest so come on up and meet some really good guys, have some good real ale and we have a spectacular ride planned.


Cheers Steve

Even less Steve, as it seems i will be coming all alone. Passenger cannot come as she will not have her passport in time... But i will be there, even if i have to crawl on my bare knees!

.......................and in a weeks time we will be in Wales for the Annual rally.
I suppose the Captains decision to shut down the forum is reflected in the enthusiasm for the rally!!!:irony:

Dear Steve hope you're well my good chum, the closure of the forum depends on many aspects, one is of course members participation apathy, plus we've lost any and all support from sponsors because with all the XT range being discontinued, no new products were being designed, MTC cans sales dropped to zero and DNA pulled out because their country (Greece) is in a financial mess and they couldn't afford to support us anymore, the forum costs have started to add up, and without any support, I have been running it at a loss for more than two years. I have not minded so far to pay for the running of it, but the apathy I mentioned has caused me to wonder why do I bother, and with the fact that I am retiring, all unnecessary expenditures need to be stopped.

You tell me Steve, can you beat a dead horse?

I'm excited for it mate (the meet up, not the closure). I even set my new tent up in the garden last week to give it a once over before the meet up. Looks like we might even have a dry one!

I'd previously placed my name on the list with the full intention of attending as I really like that part of the world and hoped to put names to faces and exchange a few yarns.
Problem is, I've had a moment and fell off the wagon and bought an Africa Twin, the XT is gone so I don't have a single to to ride any more.
