Default Is it an anybody turn up event?

I have not been before, and I have not been on many general get together's via the .org. So is it an anyone turn up and get made to feel welcome/join in type event this? or is more of, if you don't really know anyone before hand then you may feel quite awkward type thing.

Maybe a stupid question I know but the thought of a camping trip with a crap load of rumbling sv's in convoy is pretty damn appealing.

Everybody welcome, if you don't know anybody turn up, after a few hours chatting and few beers you'll soon make plenty of new friends.

Glad to hear its open to all and all will be freindly. I'm already thinking of taking a long break with the lady and incorporating AR08 and visiting my best mate in Exeter.

Plus, 7 months will fly by.

At AR07 I was about the sixth person to turn up and within ten seconds of getting my helmet off Stewie was welcoming me, offering me a sidestand puck and asking if I wanted a hand putting my tent up.

And I didn't know anyone.

No, its a sensibly paced rideout around some nice roads, taking in a few bits and pieces of local scenary and interest. It caters for all ability / level of rider so it wont be slow but it won't be mega fast either. You'll be fine with a pillion on the back.
