AE08 - The Event of Next Year, Can you help ?

[yorkie_chris]

I would be happy with northumberland or somerset, 2 areas of the country I haven't seen yet and would like to.
As I'm in west yorkshire I'm kinda between the 2, so anyone needing a place to crash out on the way is welcome at mine, I have space for 2 or 3 extra bikes in the garage at a push.

Vipers Plan sounds a good idea, although with all that food on site ETC ETC will there be anytime for a run

Like the Somerset idea despite the long trek down (That's just part of the fun anyway)

However. How about a seaside venue like Scarborough or Great Yarmouth or somewhere. We could make it a themed event by inviting this lot http://www.vespaclubofbritain.co.uk/ and have mock fights on the prom

Yarmouth, mmm, nice!

Anymore for anymore, otherwise I'll start the Location Vote Poll early...

I would have thought location could wait a tad longer before putting to the vote personally. There's no rush is there? I have only just seen this thread. I'm sure there are plenty of others that will not yet have seen it either. One of them might just have a good idea worth considering as well.

The date is the thing that most people want good advance notice of. How about getting that sorted first?

Same here for the date, Ive told the wife we will be booking our hols around the dates for the AR so the sooner we sort those out the better I think

Not really fussed either way, but the way I thought about it was that once the location was sorted then the date would be dependant on the people in the local area that was choosen who are doing the organising if that makes sense.

Theres no point in everybody picking weekends that the local organising team cant do or are not available for IMHO.

I was also hoping to give a it bit longer date wise as that gives more time for next years race calenders etc to be published, it'd be wise IMHO to stay away from clashes with other biking events such as Donnington Moto Gp, Brands WSB, BSB rounds etc etc.

Edit Provisional Moto GP Calender for Next year is

June 1 Italy Mugello
June 8 Catalunya Montmelo
June 22 Great Britain Donington Park
June 28 ** Netherlands Assen
July 13 Germany Sachsenring
July 20 United States * Laguna Seca
August 17 Czech Republic Brno
August 31 San Marino Misano

Personally that means I think we oughta discount the weekend of the 22nd June

Or do we simply say for simplicity that its the same weekend of the year that AE07 was, which looking at next years calender is 27th, 28th & 29th June 2008

I think this is a great idea.
Why not make the AR's the same date every year. At least we will all know when it is every year so we can all book time off way in advance. The location can be decided as and when but as long as we know when it is most shouldnt have a problem.

Sounds like a plan to me. I have to book time off for it anyway, so why not?
