XT660.COM 10th Anniversary Party 21st May 2016 - The Venue - IMPORTANT

ATTENTION ALL ATTENTION ALL

Pleiades is my witness on this, the short story is that since I have announced to the Ace Cafe owners that we intended to host our 10th anniversary party at their premises they have been nothing but unfriendly, unwelcoming, obnoxious, completely difficult to deal with.

I guess since their popularity and glory has grown in the last years, they have become callous and greedy.

5 years ago they would bite my arm off, when we had our 5th anniversary party the couldn't wait to have 40+ of our members dining there. Fast forward to 2015 and they made no effort to provide an ideal environment for us, they offered a date when there were 2 car meetings and no parking for bikes, then I said, well lets forget that, how about a day when you don't have cars, just bikes and he said Sun 22nd May but I can't serve you food at lunch time because it's my busiest time and I've got queues from the counter to the outside so you are welcome but your guests can only be served food at 6:00pm.

For those of you who knows me by now, my patience is on a short fuse, and quite politely I told him I didn't want to put my guests to those unwelcoming restrictions and that he could stick is CAFE right up his ACE.

--------------

So now I've got two much more welcoming venues I am working on pending replies from the owners I will announce those shortly as for the camping, forget Lee Valley we won't be nowhere near the A40 or A406, but think of it somewhere close to the seaside near a beautiful marina with yachts and boats... all to be revealed and PLENTY of space for not 100's but even 1000's of bikes. If I get this deal you guys will thank me. Even the food is better and cheaper than the ACE.

I personally would like the Saturday.

Reason being that I will need to ride down on the Friday, have the evening camping and then go to the meet, at whatever time, on the Saturday.
This will give day riders the opportunity to come and meet with others and if the meet is at lunchtime, they will also be able to get home at a reasonable time.
To camp over on the Saturday evening will also give some of the more local members to come over if they cannot make the day time meet.
It will also give those that have come from further afield all day Sunday to get home.

Whaddya think?

I am inclined to agree with you Steve!

This venue is off course ideal for our european members as its close to Dover and ferries and train.

We haven't set a time but anytime from say 12:00am onwards.

We plan to stay until the sun goes down, or earlier for those who needs to head back and not staying somewhere overnight.
