Default Re: Your thoughts for AR11

NB I am NOT looking to replicate LP's North Wales rides!!!!!!!

The campsite is in the grounds of The Wingfield Arms pub at Montford Bridge, next to a bridge across the River Severn built by Thomas Telford in 1792. This is where it's at:







On the Vox's three tests:

(a) A 'Statement of Intent' that you are prepared to take on the organisation of AR11 - YES

(b) Some homework looking into possible venues, costs, facilties etc. Will do a bit more research

(c) A proposal (any chance that one of the Rideout Mods can set up a new sub-forum for these as it looks as though we may have several?) as a result of information gathered at (b) - To follow

, I think it might be well worth a revisit.


Erm... I'd rather not

Yes, location if multiple options are put forward will be voted for as will the actual dates.

The other thing to remember is that it cant be on your back door or in your neck of the woods every year either.

They were there. That horsebox at the side of the road, that filthy builder's van, that shrub that twitched slightly, the cow standing by the fence... those were all concealed speed cameras.

Ed , if you get the win then I will pitch up to help with Recce rides and suchlike . I`m not biased where it is to be honest , no matter where it is I will turn up for the sheer spectacle of it being an AR , shame I missed so many already . For those that really need to ride Scotland and have not done so yet , then deffo attend a GM at some point soon , jaw dropping scenery and good roads and a great bunch of people organising . Whoever organises ANY Org rideout deserves greater recognition than you can actually bestow upon a person and I don`t think they realise what joy they can bring to a fellow rider and the memories they provide . You`ve all been witness to something like that haven`t you .

give me a chance to do B first lol

Where it goes from here is really up to Admin, Fizz & the Mods - but I would assume that some sort of poll would be order if we do get multiple entries.
fizz is our leader ,we are easily lead
Looking at this it could be that (b) will actually happen before (a) but whatever the order, as I've said before discussing where we'd like to go is pointless unless someone (or group) is prepared to take it on.
i get your vote cos i know where you live
does that sound right

Here you go Voxy

Or possibly one of the many Scout Campsites within the M25...
