Thumper Club Annual Rally 27-29th June 2008

[Steve H]

Location : Weston-on-Trent, Derbyshire
Contact : 01332-573381 boyd_brooks@hotmail.com
It will cost £3.50 per tent per night (payable at the venue, there will be NO pre-booking). The site has showers and toilets and has been used as a Rally venue by other motorcycle clubs. There are two pubs about ten minutes walk away in Weston-on-Trent. As per previous years, there will be some sort of hot meal for the Friday night.

The rally site has plenty of space, and I think we will possibly be the only people there. If you could let me know if you (and spouses, friends etc.) are coming, either by replying here or by e-mail, it will make it easier to organise things.

Hmm,the rally is about 20 miles up the road from me but it's the wifes birthday that weekend,it's not looking hopeful.

[BlueLady]

Damn - I'd love to come...

But as I'm still not formally a member, despite over six months of sending money, writing endless e-mails, and getting broken promises back about "I'll post your membership/badges/etc to you..." - I guess that I'm just not welcome...

Must be just one of those boy's clubs that won't let the girls play....

I've given up trying....

Going off to join a real bike club that actually wants me as a member....

Unfortunately I think that may be the weekend I go away for a week, I'll have to check.

[Bill Rutter]

BlueLady, don't give up on us. I am sure you would recieve a very warm welcome at the Rally. Our committee also have very busy home lives and we are still, I think, short of a Membership Secretary. I think I should throw my cap in the ring to help out as I get immense pleasure from the TC without putting all that much back.

To BlueLady and all other potential visitors I second Bill's reply. At the moment I'm not sure there are any official members, so don't feel left out. The Annual Rally has always been a very good social occasion and a chance to meet fellow  bikers and singles enthusiasts. You don't have to come for the whole weekend and if you are local just pop in to say "Hello!".

Similar to last year I have investigated a number of places of interest that we could visit during Saturday. At the moment these are looking like: the Grand Prix Museum at Donington Park (6 miles), Charnwood Classic Motorcycles (Enfield and sidecar specialists) (20 miles) and Bosworth Field (a new museum on the site of the famous 13C battle, near Mallory Park) (35 miles). But this is not set-in-stone and advice can be given if you want to plan your own route.

So don't be shy and try to make it to the Thumper Clubs annual gathering this June.
