Good to hear, I know there is always an increase of house shares during the nw200 and ulster gp especially around portrush and portstewart.

My old workplace the roeparkresort has good parking facilities and is well situated for the northwest and donegal, the bikers always got well taken care of during the nw200 when i was their but thats going back a good 5/6 years.

Was chatting to a bloke from the Netherlands while at John O'Groats last week, made sure to mention MotoGoLoco as he wasn't sure how he was going to find accommodation for the rest of his stay having come up from Dover. He was well chuffed to hear of your fantastic work :D

Just clicked on it.

The site needs work. I select NW England and the first offer is South Yorkshire and another is in Northumberland. A visitor to this country could get very confused.

Aye, we're working on it Timster, the aim is to segment it down into proper regions (e.g. Yorkshire, Dumfries & Galloway) but while we're still adding venues it's a lot easier to split them into simple, larger areas.

Some of them sit pretty much right on the border lines, so will appear in more than one area (for now).

That said, Northumberland isn't Ok, NW England, so I'll make a tweak there.

The font looks weird on my PC, like its been magnified rather than scaled.

Got it - thanks TS.

Weird, cos it looks Ok on Chrome here (laptop, iPhone & iPad) but I'll forward that on to the developers to look at.
Cheers!

Got a fair amount of hotels listed already.
Very nice.

They'll normally end at noon on a Friday, mainly because it gives us a chance to get everything organised and sent out to winners / venues in time to send people away from work with a nice little bonus!

Good news is that we have a winner, bad news (for you at least!) is it's not an 'Orger this time.

However... Watch this space, there's another one coming up very shortly.

Thanks again to all that entered - it's really nice to get all your collective support on this!

Hoo'kaaay kids - it's that time again.

I've pulled together a batch of corkers for this week's giveaway, and (for the third week running) you lovely lot are the first people to hear about it.

So - get yourself over to our competitions page and enter.

The Org is running on a 50% win-rate so far, don't let me down!!

Oh, this time around - everyone that has 'liked' our Facebook page by the time the competition closes on Saturday (5pm) is automatically given an additional free entry into the draw. If you're already ahead of the game and on our likes list - you'll already be on the list (cos I'm damn nice like that).

Thank you all, again, for your continued support - and best of luck!

Beat me to it, but yeah - well done BlueFish!

Again, thanks to all who entered - better luck next time.

By the way, 2 winners out of 3 competitions so far is one heck'uva hit rate for the old Org! Keep it going folks, we really appreciate your support!

Aye, get rid of Northumberland, no point looking outside of Yorkshire :p

Nudge nudge, wink wink...

Heads up folks - it's that time again

Simple and easy this time around - all we want to know is how you found out about MotoGoLoco and you're in with a chance to win. Dead easy.

Re: Anyone not yet checked out MotoGoLoco?
 
3/4 so far... That's quite a hit-rate you lot are building up here.

I'm starting to get the odd raised eyebrow and funny look from across the office now. :smt064

In all seriousness, congrats fella! :D

Whoops - sorry, we had a wee glitch on this week's comp, meaning it wasn't showing up properly for everyone. Pleased to say it's fixed now, so fill your boots!
