Right. Who's going to sort out this years rally?
Ron.
-
Always welcome here for a rally got 2 acres of land plus large hall to use.
but probably too far to come up to Orkney methinks Ron. Also I've limited weekends to choose from.

Likewise you are more than welcome to come here; the 40C+ and beer at £8 a pint being just two of the major drawbacks.

And you being there the third. :D

Keep those offers rolling in.

I have booked the field in Cwmdu(same place as last year) for the weekend of the 13th-15th June to celebrate my 50th(yes Ron I am only 50, and yes I did have a hard paper round) you are all welcome to attend (as I don't have any friends). You can use it as a base for a rally unless you think it's too early in the year or you want somewhere different, or if anyone just wants to come along for a night away you're welcome.

Lovely site, beer, food etc and we get to wind Mark up.
If only I weren't working :-(
-
Can't make those dates in June as I've already booked a holiday in Scotland. Cwmdu would be a great place to hold the rally again. July would be better for the Irish contingent if that's possible. 50th Birthday, that's dog years, right. ;D

June sounds good, and an opportunity to wind up the young [er] people! We'll be there if work doesn't get in the way.
-
Booked time off work ;-)
Jethro

In my diary. I'll try to make it this year! (With both legs intact!) :o
-
Mark
Your rude remark aside. Which Cwmdu are we talking about as there are a few? Might be in Wales at the time, and might be able to call over for a beer!
-
Carmarthenshire, near Talley. And a splendid place it is too. Not the one near Abergavenny which was the scene of many an MZ rally.

A few members have committed to this but the more the merrier, hopefully will be sober enough for a scenic rideout on Saturday.

I am going to pencil this in now and if I can arrange the cover then I am in for the whole weekend but if not then I will see you on Friday DV.
Steff
(who is back!! Did ya all have a great Easter??)
-
Looks as if things might be changing and that I might actually be able to come :-)
For once a useful rota change.

Started to plan(ish) this now as I'm off to Normandy soon and will only have a day or two when I get back.
Food cannot be provided by the Inn so it'll be grilled stuff on the Friday evening, breakfast rideout Sat am, cheese and port Sat pm and grilled stuff in the evening and hopefully some cake. Bacon and egg rolls Sun am.
The Inn will set up a bar in the field with ale straight from the wood. There will be some fire and a little bit of music far away in a little gazebo for the girls to have a dance.
-
Hey Mark sorry will not be able to make your 50th birthday rally due to the impending house move to Aberaeron on 20 June. Hope you have a good one and an enjoyable sojourn in Normandy. The plus factor is I can definitely make it next year as it will only be down the road to Cwmdu!!!! Cheers. Cliff
-
I'm hoping to be there. Unfortunately cannot bring my wife as I intended. She's working.
-
Hope to set off Thursday afternoon. Rick expects to be there Thursday as well. Quiet evening before the rabble arrives! :o
-
Got a message from Rick, it now appears that he will be arriving on the Friday now. I still intend to go down on the Thursday afternoon, anybody else be there? :o
-
Will see you all on Friday.

Hi Steve, I don't think I can get there Thursday as I have things to sort out but will try.
What time are you expecting to be there? As it is not a campsite call at the Cwmdu Inn and tell the landlord Dave who personally owns the field why you are there and ask where to camp.(I don't think you were there last year)
Mark

See You Guys Friday !

Nope I was not there last year, something to do with two broke knees!
I have purchased a very big map of the area (OS 1:50000) and I have Google Earthed it! Looks great for a bit of exploring.
Programmed into GPS, bike fettled, sunshine expected, Rock on!
See you lot there. ;D

Hi Mark
Working Friday and Sunday but I plan on getting there Friday evening, enjoying some light refreshments and maybe having a ride out on Saturday if I can focus.
Weather looks to be good - Happy Days

Hi all, Nipped down to CUMDOO yesterday to see the Birthday boy Mark and meet the other TC members, with #1 cycling up from Cardiff :o!!! after a chat we set off to a nice little cafe at Llandovery, #1 travelling in Jethro's chair complaining of a sore b*m, after more chatting and food we set off over the Black Mountain on quiet roads to a Welsh built castle....some walked up to visit, some stayed at base chatting, then back to the campsite...more chatting, then I set off for home....just under 500Km's round trip including the rideout, on my DR800 (750 engine).
A pleasant day out.
Dave.

Thanks to Mark for the weekend and the hospitality - happy birthday big boy!!
-
I had a great weekend, and the generosity of you boys lead to me raising £340 for the nominated charity.
Thanks lads,
Mark
-
That's great news, Mark.
A great time was had by all.
Thanks again and Happy Birthday.
-
What a fantastic weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the ride there, back and around.
Took loads of pics so will get baround to putting some up.
Great to meet some of Marks family and friends a real good group.
Pleased that the event went well and due to Marks organising and the assist of his wife and colleagues we all drank and fed well.
Good that the charity got some exposure and raised some needed funds.
Happy Birthday again Mark.
