Another mail from the Ace Cafe today:

Hi Simon

I’m just picking up following Mark’s email below to ask if you could let me know what you anticipate bringing with you.. banners, gazebo etc?

Please also let me know if you intend to run any competition on the day – Best Bikes or some such – Ace will of course support any competition with a few goodies for the winner(s).

Look forward to hearing from you

Kind regards

The club banner is here with me Simon, and in all probability should have some northern visitors that week end.

Probably an idea to get a definite date sorted FBF so people can get planning...Just arrange it for the sunniest day in July when no other events are going on...flipping hell, the Blades should come before all these events anyway, their both gonna be televised! Before long it's gonna be "oh we can't go on the Sun 17th July because the east of England folk dance and steam rally is on"!!!

by **scotty80** Sat 15 Jan 2011, 10:42

I will be there what ever the date hyper

What's wrong with folk dancing???

Bill, I hear you mate, but the 3rd is still a definite date. A couple of people have stated other big things going on so I've merely made an enquiry for now to see if anything is possible.

FYI, I'm meeting Lord Lucan on Old London Bridge on the 24th of July so can't do that date myself, he needs me to help him change the clutch cable on his C90 whistle

hahaha this cracked me up Razz

and btw, in not supprised folk dancing is your thing megawatt Wink

by wes Sat 15 Jan 2011, 19:00

To be fair, we want to make sure that the people who wont be attending because of other fixtures and events happening on the 3rd, would genuinely be attending if the day was moved, otherwise it seems pointless going to all the effort of organising if this isnt the case. frustrated

Beer and banter in the paddock the night before is compulsory.

With no limits, if 10 or more book, you get 10% off.

So say one at donnington, then later at rockingham ?
Put brands in there to, Mega likes that track.

With donnington being the main one ?
Or even silverstone ?

Easy for me to say i did 8 last year.

Sounds good to me mate cheers

Beer and banter in the paddock the night before is compulsory. Very Happy

For me, goes without saying drinking

Although, might be best having the piss up after the track day Embarassed

by silverback Mon 17 Jan 2011, 15:51

With your track record anyway tongue

Work permitting I'm up for it.

Hopefully this year I will even manage to bring the the bike this time brickwall

Trackday LOL suggested that last year did not get much response for someone to set up a poll online !!! scratch

by morpheus20170 Sat 22 Jan 2011, 16:28

I just hope that my bike is working on Fireblade Day in 2011 and I will be there.

ooh go pick up your dummy out of the dirt lol....

i have to agree that the Ace was a pretty shite venue. A meet at Box Hill, then ride to Bury Hill and onwards to Bognor is a lovely run. Just a thought...... i have a sofa spare for anyone from north of Watford Smile

by Chimpy Wed 09 Mar 2011, 15:56

plus i won't be able to fund a trackday so i'll be limited to a blade meet and rideout

Don't know weather he'll be able to find the dummy, that was a mighty spit Laughing

I kinda agree with you Chimpy about the Ace not being an ideal venue but it is riddled with bike nostalgia and is fairly well know round the bikey world as the bikers cafe so it is fitting for the occasion. I'm not keen on doing a repeat of last year and riding up with a large group Blades, i do that journey everyday to work and it took 3 times as long to get there on Blade day...and it was a Sunday with hardly any traffic!!!
I happy to go to the Ace again but this time only with a handful of bikes wheeliebike
