I dunno, I'm not really much for these ideas of entertainment laid on, when have we needed it before? It all just seems like a distraction, the point is to get together not to watch a band or whatever. Band in particular is an idea I don't like, it's a ton of hassle and I don't think it adds much. DJ, well, I can see the attraction there... It just seems to be getting a bit out of hand and away from the point, to me, turning into a wedding reception

What I'd like- bonfire, for sure, there's no substitute for a fire when you're outdoors... If the hosts will let us of course. Possibly some basic instruments and sound gear if any of us want to put on some entertainment rather than shipping it in. Better rainproofing- the gazebos pulled our fat out of the fire but a bit of wind and it'd still have been nasty, small wedding-style marquee would be great- for shelter, for chilling out, for the tech turns if we do that (which I think we absolutely should).

In fact, the tech stuff is something I think we should run with, though it's a logistical difficulty getting tools and hardware there unless we have some serious transport- there's loads of stuff people want to do but are too nervous to, springs, shocks, cams, etc etc. What better time than when there's a load of us together? Might not be practical, though.

I'd also quite like to stretch it out a little- as it is we arrive, go to the pub, have the rideout, have the barbeque, leave, we never stop. We've got all these ideas but nowhere to put 'em. Another day? More smaller rides, more mucking about.

100% agree with the above statement, & could not have said it better

=D>=D>=D>=D>=D>=D>


im all for the bonfire marquee BBQ , & just a stero for a bit of backgrond music........ (edit & the ride out)

but

the whole point of the AR is just getting together & meeting fellow org.ers is it not?





just go with the flow

Personally I like the keep it simple approach, good food, good beer, and good company.

I'd like to do a rideout as its a shame IMHO to travel along way and then not explore when you get there.

To be honest pretty much what Northwind said IMHO would be excellent.

If the rideout does happen to be at Vipers it's my neck of the woods and i should be able to get hold off a couple of large army mess tents (18ftX24ft) this should sort out some where for the evenings if it rains.

I also have my new off road bike i could bring if Vipers boss says it's ok, we could set up a track and every one have a go.

well depending on the location (if it's vipers suggestion it's no problem) i can bring stuff along in my van although it also depends on the date a little bit

Only if it you have to jump through flames that would be cool
