Northern/Pennine 'Massive'?

[Cloggsy]

Dou you Northern riders want a Northern riders get together/club/massive etc etc?

I've been speaking to Amanda & I think the consensus is 'yes', but can we have a show of hands & suggestions for a moderator perhaps :?:

As soon as we know what's going on, we can approach John & have him set us up :wink:

[PBx]

As I suggested in 'idle banter' We ask for a section called the 'Pennine Massive' it will cover the area of England coast to coast that the Pennines are found in. As the area is so big there will not be a single regular meeting place but the aim will be to arrange runs to suitable locations where we can all (or at least many of us) meet. Local more regular meets are of course encouraged. All those with an interest in the SV's are welcome.

I think its such a good plan that I'm even prepared to moderate

[Cloggsy]

I know, PBx... We need definate numbers though... You can have my vote to moderate too :wink:

[Couerdelion]

Yep I'm up for it.

Might even get some meets sorted for summer at this rate... :roll:

[Baggies JIm]

Yepp. if there isn't already an unofficial northern massive.

Jim

p.s. I know it would be a hike, but I quite fancy going down to meet the Soho boys & girls at one of their meets (Thursday nights ??). They'd have to get some real beer in mind, not that lager lime, tops crap! :lol:

[Cloggsy]

They'd have to get some real beer in mind, not that lager line, tops crap! :lol:

Good call mate :wink: :lol:

[Amanda M]

Yes, we should have our own group.

Amanda

[Jabba]

Please can I be an associate member (perhaps the wrong word to use :lol: ), as I'm a northerner exiled to foreign parts? :)

When I was a kid, my bedroom window used to look out over the Pennines in Derbyshire. I could see Kinder Scout (when it wasn't raining :lol: )

I think it's an excellent idea.

[mikie]

Speaking of which, Im up to Squires tonight for a brew.
Anyone else?

[Jp]

Yea good idea guys.

Im a lancashire boy myself, would be nice to have a proper club.

Im well up for it.

[IBZ]

sounds good, count me in if owts settled

HOW north do you mean ?

anything north of the watford gap or north as i call it lancaster and up :lol:

I am only 9 miles from the scottish border so i am still south ?

this is getting confusing ! ( head spinning time to lie down)

[Amanda M]

Amarko5 - I think what PBx said in idle banter covers it. The forum would cover the area around the Pennines. If you can make it down for meetings from Carlisle then brilliant!

The moderator should probably be Cloggsy and PBx cos I don't get on here enough :wink:

Initially, it was North Yorkshire & Northeast... Then it expanded to Pennines...

Put it this way, you're further north than me, so, all (northern) comers (not in the biblical sense :shock: ) welcome...

Tryin' to say we've got too much time on our hands :?: :wink:

[splke]

Great idea.....Can't wait for 1st meet, lets get it sorted.
Cloggsy for mediator for thanks.
Anybody at milk bar last night i saw plenty of svs there ?
Nice bronze 1 with trick (well fitted) under tray.

Just MO...you sdhould def have your own group if John agrees as the Surfers has really taken off. You guys already meet a lot, but your own group is a better forum within which to sort things out. Also up to John but I feel 2 moderators is somethimes an idea, particulalry if you want to keep rideout plans organised and sticky etc.

I hope you get this off the ground.

[Cloggsy]

I hope you get this off the ground.

Thank Doc :wink:

We'll see huh :?:

[Moo]

Everything sounds OK with me.

[PBx]

I recon that the group is quorate. :D

Cloggsy do you wan't to have a word with John or should I?

Weather looked spot on last night so I got all leathered up ready to go then got a call and went to watch the football instead. Wish I'd hav gone to squires after watching that debacle :?

[davyf]

It seems all of the northerners are spread all over the place. Unlike the southeners who seem to surround London.

It may seem like that purly based on the statistical fact that London is so heavily populated, unlike Portsmouth for instance. It's a Probability issue. :shock:

Yeah In-ger-land were poo. Defoe looked tasty though. Surely Shearer is gonna come out of international retirement for Portugal. He'd be an even bigger National Hero.

[Cloggsy]

SHEARER = GOD

Says me, a Newcastle United Season ticket holder :lol:

Watched it when i got home .........Smithy @ right midfield !!!!! is the monkeys head Englands secret coach !!!!!!

Shearer ............. is he one of them barcodes from the CARtoon army :P

[Amanda M]

So, is our new forum going to be a football free zone :wink:

Amanda

[splke]

Go on then !!

I RESENT THAT...... :wink:

Ill continue to poke my nose in until you sort yourselves out :lol: There, isnt that incentive enough?

[Cloggsy]

Shearer ............. is he one of them barcodes from the CARtoon army :P

Leave it, lets all remain friends - after all, it can't be easy supporting the best Div 1 team in the premiership can it :wink:

Sorry, couldn't resist :lol:

Apparently, Smithy is linked with a transfer to the Toon when Leeds go down :?:

[Amanda M]

Well, I'm happy with having a forum, it's all these blokes that are the problem :wink: :lol:

Amanda

[splke]

Don't ...........really it is too depressing :(
Smithy might as well go up there and join the other expats :lol:

[Cloggsy]

I think you had all ought to thank Peter Ried ('s gotta F%*kin' Monkeys heed) for the trouble you're in - If O'Leary was still in charge, things would be different :!: He could manage, look what he's doing a Villa :wink: All because he fell out with the board...

[Cloggsy]

:oops: Sorry, this thread's gone a bit Pear shaped...

Partly my fault :(

Back to the topic :roll:

[Amanda M]

Yep, get back to the topic :wink:

It looks like everyone's keen for a forum anyway - 100% said yes!

Amanda

[Cloggsy]

23 users (so far) say 'Yes'

Make that 24...

There may be a bit of an East-West divide, but sounds good to me!

[Rollo]

I suppose I'm a virtual voter, what with living in Spain and all... But, hypothetically speaking I'd be in favour, what with coming from Sheffield originally.

A fairly useless intervention really :roll:

[amarko5]

someone once told me that haltwhistle or hexam (can't remember)

was the geographical centre of the UK so if above is central all of you are southerner's :lol: :lol: :lol:

[timwilky]

East west divide?

That bloody war of the roses has been going of for ages now. we only have truce when the mutual enemy is about. You know who you are.


the ones who drink flat beer!. :twisted:

[davyf]

Haltwhistle no not with that sneaky camera hiding behind the sign whilst traveling East.

[svmad]

Sounds like a good idea. Met the Soho Massive last summer. Definately have a Northern Massive.
