We've been given a club stand at next year's VJMC Cardiff Classic Bike Show, held in early May about 1/4 mile from my house... which is convenient ;)
Here's last year's club stand:

Last year's show was really good and I sense a good club meet-up opportunity for the next one. I can put up TCers at my place if anyone fancies coming down on the Saturday and having a curry/beer night out. The show itself was held on Sunday only last year. Accommodation at Castle Carrick includes a slap-up breakfast at my dad's cafe if we can get up and organised early enough ;)
It's obviously too early to talk about bikes to exhibit etc. but when I get more details I will let you know.

GC, Can you post the exact dates when you know to see if its clashing with anything.
Mark

Yep, will do, just waiting for the app forms to arrive in the post.
I'll have a look at the VJMC website to see if they are advertising it already. Yes, it's there, it's on the 8th of May.

Just joined the site. Would you have space on your stand for my 1987 Yamaha XT600Z Tenere?

All being well I should have the CB250rs to put on the stand if there is room.
-
Any more news GC or is it early days yet?
-
I think its early days...GC only needs about 2 days notice
;D :D ;D
-
Ok, a month to go and I'm getting pressures from other events. Is there any news on if you want a bike for the stand GC? :)
-
Saw GC on Sunday and don't think he's watching the forum at the moment (work pressures I think) Might want to give him a ring.
-
This seems a "no goer" now :(
-
I'll have to resort to my plan two..........again.
Mark

Plan Two????

Mark always has a Plan 2 :D

... So, who's going anyway?? What time of day are you planning on being there?? let's see if we can't organise a little meet-up

I will be there, I am organising a stand from the bike shop I work in Sales at. We will be in the main hall, Garlands Classic Club.
About 10 bikes.

Hi, was it you and your wife I was speaking to about your SRX6? I was the tall guy with his arm in a sling and a SRX600 project in his garage.

Hi,
No I was the other guy, another short arse with a black polo shirt on. I owned the alloy tank XT500 and the XTZ660.

Why not just forget about the club having a stand at the show.
Come over to pay your last respects to Bruce and stay over at Hay on Wye for the XT500 meet.
You can always go over to see the Show next day if you want to and then come back to Hay for the Saturday barbeque.

Why not take the initiative and actually do something instead of waiting to being asked then?!

The first draft of this post was a long reply to the points raised, but prior to posting I sat back and thought, "why bother?" I don't expect that any answer or apology I give will be thought satisfactory so why milk this thread any further?

Well after the first post you didn't,so you're right i suppose :-X
