OK Timbo. I've been in touch with the farm to check, but couldn't get you on the phone. I'll set off from Hudds after work and see you there.

Steve.

PS should be there about 8 ish.
If I'm not working I'll be away on my bike camping!

        ............I'll try and make the meeting............
Well, I made it and so did a few others. It was nice to see a lot of the old TC members......
Mark & family, Ifor & Indian outfit, Trevor & Sue, Steve, Tony, uncle Timmy the parking attendant & sister + family, Richard, Simon, Martyn & Danny, Furry & Molly and probably a few more.
One highlight was the Vulture circling above us on Saturday....it seems it's a locals pet.
The bike show was a success and the weather was great, as was the evenings entertainment.
I left at 6:30 Sunday morning to get to a moped meet near Telford, unfortunately there was a game fair on at Weston Park and the traffic was horrendous...it took nearly four hours to get there, but I made it with 10mins to spare.
I took the replica Whizzer out for a pleasant 35mile trundle around the local area with the NACC group from Ivetsy Bank.
Got home late afternoon...for a snooze.
Dave.

Yep, fantastic weekend. Definitely one for the calendar for next year, and a great Thumper gathering  :)
I reckon around 250 bikes in the show on Saturday, and I really enjoyed helping out with Anthony doing the parking. The whole do has a great community relaxed atmosphere. My sister and husband and kids had a fantastic time and will definitely be up for next year. My niece and nephew have now been on a motorbike, an outfit, and a trike!
Plus the journey down from Snowdonia with SteveD and Tony was a right laugh. We just about survived Steves satnav routes  :)
Namaste

This was my wife Sue's first Thumper Club do (but by no means her first bike event) , and she really enjoyed it.

I thought it was a great weekend. The second band in the evening were brilliant, and what a strange drum kit! Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and even a John Martyn number. Great stuff.

Good to meet so many friends again. Hope this happens again next year.
