Thank you's from me!
Ok, still on a massive come down, but just to reiterate a few points made on Saturday night and say them in a bit more detail as at the time, I was just trying to say it all without bursting into tears because I'm rather pathetic like that!
Firstly, John (Admin) - The site would not be here for us to all enjoy without him, I know how much he wanted to be at the AR but couldn't, so John, thank you for building a home for this wonderful family! To Fizz and the other mods for giving up their time to control us all! To everyone on the org as without each and every one of us, this place would just not be the same and it is all of us that make this place the family that it is! To abscent friends, we've known you, laughed with you, loved you, and miss you all. This place will always carry your memories, each and every one of you. To Hovis. He asked me to help him organise this AR and I could never have known that I would have ended up doing it without him, but it's a job I've relished and because we had everything in place already, it's all been easy peasy! Now - thank you to the people who have helped me in anyway, large or small...even MattSV and Anita for waiting around so long on Thursday keeping us amused as I finished off the printing of leaflets! You all know who you are and I hope I gave you all enough hugs and thanks on the weekend. Thank you to the markers, all did an amazing job and this thanks also goes to the unexpected markers that had to step in on the second leg...I cannot tell you how hard we were trying to get back to the front without risking losing our licenses, but your help was very much appreciated by all :-) Thank you to the Catering Van, whose food was lovely, very well priced and for the free teas and coffees on Friday and Saturday. Thanks to David and Tim and all at the Basky hotel as lets face it, they provided us with all we needed and more. Thanks to you all for turning up and getting your bikes on the drive for pictures, it looked immense! I could go on forever, but to cut it short now I will just say this... Myself and the others involved with the organising of this years AR wanted nothing more than for everyone to have a great weekend, enjoy great roads and have many many laughs and memories, so thank you ALL for making us able to realise that goal both for us and our dear departed friend :-) WUB YOU ALL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

I would like to thank Cheryl, Dan, Lily, Drew and David for organising the AR to be in Wales and then everyone who carried the torch on with the sad loss of David.
You all did amazing and I hope everyone enjoyed coming to my home country. You are all welcome back, but, the "man-kini" isn't, ha ha |

Re: Thank you's from me!
Either scotland or northumberland!

Re: Thank you's from me!
Another vote for Scotland, heard too many a tale about the awesome roads up there, must try it!
Or the Peak district |

Re: Thank you's from me!
Northumberland is like the Borders, and D&G. Everyone goes past there for the Highlands. Anyone going oop north Scotland would do well to have a stop off.
|
Re: Thank you's from me!
My thoughts would be south - ish next year, maybe New Forest or something, then Scotland or at least well up north somewhere in 2012 when the Olympics will be jamming everything up down here

Re: Thank you's from me!
Or Midlands? Just thinking of saving the north until us sountherners needs to escape the mayhem
|
Re: Thank you's from me!
To be fair, there is a lot of north between my sort of area and Scotland, all covered by the PM region... we're not in danger of running short.

Is that an Olympic sport? |
Re: Thank you's from me!
As a man who has ridden to Hamm in Germany from my house in South Wales, I don't care where AR11 is, bring it on!
Also, I have to stay this time, I think GG owes me a drink, lol |

Re: Thank you's from me!
I would also like to thank everyone who had an input to this years AR. It was awesome. I think location for next year should be put in a separate thread to this one. Where ever it is, I'll be there.

We do have some good roads down here, however they are usually heaving with caravans & numpties :smt013 . The decent ones (A32/272/286/283/29) etc are also fairly heavily policed at weekends. |
Re: Thank you's from me!
Why not just go back to Wales.

BUT...I am going to propose that as a Welsh TT after AR11 is fixed. Hey, at least we have it there in the event that no-one else wants to do AR11. I for one would quite like it to go up north now, but would not want to take away from the GM. So confusing! |
Re: Thank you's from me!
Wait a sec, what is the GM?
|
Re: Thank you's from me!
GM = Glencoe Massacre rideout, now in it's third year :)
|
Re: Thank you's from me!
Glencoe Massacre - Annual Scottish rideout. If you check threads they're just starting to plan GMIV for next year.
Unfortunately we couldnt make it this year, wouldve been about 1100 miles in 3 days, planning to be there next year though :p |
Re: Thank you's from me!
Glencoe Massacre - I haven't been yet, but my understanding is that it's essentially a Scottish AR. Although everyone organises themselves.
3 answers in 2 minutes... all busy today then. :D |
Re: Thank you's from me!
Oh man, I missed it already :(
Will be keeping an eye out for next years! |
Re: Thank you's from me!
As my first post.....can I say a huge thank you to all of you for making my very first AR a fab weekend. To all who came and chatted, making me feel part of the event, it was great to meet you.....for the laughter - Badger's stories and Girth in his costume, in particular, still make me smile. The great rideout......obviously Im not including the sheep in that bit, but the roads...oh and ofcourse Gid for making my first long-haul pillion trip a ball!! I really hope to catch up with you soon and again....thank you!! x Lyn

Re: Thank you's from me!
Was just lovely to see you again Lyn...I have a feeling we'll be a little better acquainted by AR11 :-)
