Annual Rally 2009?

[sjak]

Hello Thumpers,

can you  tell me about the Annual Rally 2009? Is there a data and/or place known?
I'd like to promote the Rally to the Dutch (& Belgian & German) this year!

The Dutch Monoconnection Meeting probably will be at the FIRST weekend of September at a new place, not to far away from Assen/WK Superbike on Sunday(about 70 km) .

Can anyone offer some sort of update?

Or should we start debating now re rally and possible sites , dates etc .....

Aren't the Irish lads sorting something out for next year??

[mini-thumper]

I would certainly like to visit Northern Ireland but not sure if many would make it if it was the venue for the Annual Rally. I might be wrong? What about Crewkerne? And back to around the 21/22 July as my timing this year was a bit off!

Actually Crewkerne is a cracking idea. Does that mad Belgian still own the pub I wonder?

Added to the nice rough field opposite for camping is those neat little motel rooms he has (Steve knows them better than most).

Having said that, I thought Baskerville Hall was a lovely venue.

It appears that he does , Still advertising in the VMCC  journal .

I'd do a run to the emerald isle .

Ireland's fine (North or South), but wouldn't that mean two sets of ferry costs for the continental attendees?

(I've just realised - as well as ferry costs for the rest of us... )

I don't remember them mentioning it at Dent... but they did ply me with tons of beer so that's hardly conclusive

Speaking as a newbie on the south coast, Crewkerne sounds good. Then I could maybe get to meet some of the interesting and knowledgeable chaps who write such - er - amusing stuff...

Martin

Yes, Crewkerne sounds like a good plan. Can I be trusted to start negotiations with the pub or would someone else like to do it?

It fits well with our intention to move the rally over the years so that people from the further flung corners of the isle can get a chance to get there easily.

A southern (I mean really south) rally is overdue.

Cheers

Ah, but can you guarantee the cracking weather we had at Crewkerne last time? Seriously though, I'd love a return to Crewkie. Colin Hilliard is just up the road and knows Anton well. Perhaps he can be persuaded to organise something. Having that room set aside for showers/etc was a real gem of an idea. And you can have another weekend of abusing H-D owners again, eh GC?

Mr Dalby is never going to live that day down is he? It was funny though. Jethro's fixing of the DR was great. I thought Steve was pushing that bike back to Yorkshire
