Weston Super Mare Bike Night 2013

[Jayneflakes]

Yes folks, Weston Bike Night is going to give it another go this year after last years much lowered attendance due to horrible weather.

For 2013 we really need to pull the rabbit out of the hat because the local council are charging a lot for use of the beach lawns and we have to try to raise a good amount, so even if the weather is *&^%ing awful, do please come and drop your pound in the bucket.

Anyway dates are as follows.



As usual, the radio station will be providing the sounds of rock music on the sea front and Scallys will be providing a Hog Roast and live bands every Thursday. Be warned though, since the erection of the stupid new multistory car park, bike parking will be limited. The Owners of Scallys have asked if the road can be closed from six PM until nine PM to allow for bike parking, but I am yet to have this confirmed as going ahead.

I aim to take my new toy Death Trap MKIII down there a few times and maybe even get the SV down there too. Alby the Barnowl will be there when the weather permits for cuddles and bird strikes!

Let's hope that we do manage to have a summer this year and can actually raise some money. If you need to ask where the Money goes, then you must live in a dark box under the stairs! The money raised is for the Royal British Legion, a charity that supports British service people of all ages.

Do please come and say hello and if you are brave, you can come and have a cuddle with Alby or even Carol and I!

Just in case you are wondering who Alby is and why she goes to Bike Night, this is me and her.



Why do I take her down there? Well, she likes to take the bike out in the summer and where is better on a nice summer evening?

What we would like to see is more nights like this.




And less nights like this.

I'll be down on the May 9th one as it is my B-Day so hoping to arrange a cheddar ride and end in WSM where everyone can give me cards with money in them and a bike that doesn't break once a week.

Not long now

We had the Bike Night Marshals meeting yesterday afternoon and everything is going ahead nicely.

I am going to be one of the first aid providers, so make sure that if you hurt yourself at any of the events, you can get your self to hospital because my first aid kit consists of only two things, a sticking plaster and a rectal thermometer!

So folks, lets keep hoping for some sun shine and I hope to see some of you there. As always, you can find us in the noisy tent.

What time it start again?

[Jayneflakes]

The times for Bike Night are six PM until nine PM on the sea front and eight PM until eleven PM in Scallys. Scallys are again offering a Hog Roast and live bands every Thursday for Bike Night, so do pop in there too.

Bands for May are as follows.

2nd of May - Ray Jones Band

9th of May - Cringe

16th of May - Fake Republic

23rd of May - Real Deal

30th of May - Crossfire

How did it go?

[Jayneflakes]

The first event of the year was a great success with just over 750 bikes turning up. What would be really nice would be it continuing like this through out the summer, so if you are about do please head over and say hello.
