Hi,
I am a newbie to this forum. My name is Reiner and I live near Cardiff/Pontypridd. We have met at the recent Mechanics show in Stafford. I'm from the SW Sunbeam club and have a Suzuki DR800S. As we have a club stand too, I wouldn't mind placing my bike on your stand.

I think I had better throw my hat into the ring otherwise there will be no room left!
Haven't got a clue what I'll bring but it will only have one cylinder 👍🏍?

John.... you’ve got to bring it. Whatever state of finish it’s in. Be great to see that one.
Don’t forget my tracker wasn’t finished when I brought it last time round and probably won’t be finished for the April show
Cheers, Michael

Looks like B111 & B112 have been combined into one stand.

Hi Gareth, don’t forget I can’t make it unfortunately. It’s my 60th birthday on the 19th April and my good lady wife has organised a “surprise “ party for me on Saturday 22nd. Luckily I found out about it, otherwise the birthday boy wouldn’t have attended his own party.
I did email you (I think🤦???) a while back explaining but I’m now t the best with technology so maybe you didn’t receive it.
My apologies once again for not being able to get down there, gutted to be honest as I was really looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Cheers, Michael

well, im home, bathed and fed, cold beer in hand and reflecting on the weekend. again i have to give a huge thanks to gareth and graham for all the work theyve put into getting us the stand, cheers chaps, its always a pleasure. having never done the april one, its got to be sid that its much smaller than the october one, perhaps a reflection on the demographics of an aging population and classic/vintage bikes being of little interest to folks brought up on jap 70's and 80's stuff. but its always nice to catch up with the guys from the club, and if anybody reading this  hasnt been to the show, i can highly reccomend it as a fab weekend. friday we got the stall together , ik gareth and graham did, then we went to the local pub for a meal before returning to sink a few beers. saturday was the busiest day of the two so by teatime we were ready for a trip into stafford for a meal and a few beers in the local real ale bar. the show is pretty secodary to the social side of getting together with the club members for a chat, a drink and some banter/piss taking.
so, thanks guys, another great weekend had, and i hope to see you all in october for the autumn one.
