So make it personal invite only.

Failing that everyone who wants to come in chips in, then we can all be joint organisers?

There's people whom I know that I wouldn't trust not to sue me. Confused

all these short ones in the uk, taking under 2 mins to do....you want a mans track, that takes 10 mins to do, and has so little run off that the slightest run off could kill you, and one where cars are 3 inches from your rear tyre and it the norm

Indeed. I would love to be good enough to be able to go out and make use of a track like that.
But it still took me the good part of a day at Silverstone to learn it, so trying to learn a track that's 10 times longer, with cars and buses around it, means that I'm not really going to get the most from it.

Kind of gets rid of the point of a big BCF meet up Smile.
Think if everyone was an organiser, then everyone could get done.

I wouldn't trust Mike because he's a money grabber.

Surely if everyone there is classed as an organiser though G, you're not really going to want to sue yourself.

The main problem is that the a lot of the prolific members aren't really close enough to make a meet particularly possible/ easy. Fancy travelling from Wegie land down to London and back again in two days? Confused Of course, Dean's pub is in a good central area, being by Doncaster.

A big party (for something) should be a good enough reason to do it. An event which will last no more than a few hours eg paintballing/ mini moto isn't really enough to get everyone from all necks of the woods imo.

Dean's not longer running a pub, but that type of thing is what is needed if wanting a large number of people.

Gav's BBQ's have had quite a lot of people, not quite sure what his neighbours make of it all Laughing .

So something fairly central in the country which doesn't have many neighbours or neighbours who are deaf/not bothered. Any volenteurs? Smile

Actually, Susi's plan of lots of people renting a house down in Cormwall could be a idea just somewhere more central than Cornwall. I reckon it'd be easier just sticking to something along the lines of people going to BDB.

My place is a good easy to find location in Bristol, bout 2 minutes from the M4 J20 and M5 J16.

Big garden ideal for BBQ, reasonable parking.

Cornwall is quite a distance for the midlands lot to travel to ste and I remember the a lot of southerners complaining about distance to there as well last time something was arranged for down that way.

Well if it is in the summer then sleeping rough won't really matter either. Razz

Doncaster sounds good to me Razz Laughing
Although Deans pub is nearer Leeds/Selby Wink .
As previously mentioned, one of the already organised events such as the Bulldog or Rock 'n' Blues has so far been the closest thing to an annual meet, although nowadays we seem to get just as many bcfers attending trackdays at once as we do these 'festivals'.

A BCF meet has to be held centrally, which is generally a hard thing to do.

My BBQ's reach capacity approaching 30 people, and generally have my neighbours not talking to me for a few months.

However I'll still be having one some point this year no doubt.

I also plan on having something at my parents house this year (when they go away) Weekend thing, plenty of bike parking available (and a good few cars as well) and plenty of sleeping space as well as a big garden for the party.
Only problem with this is its the north east of england which is a good trek for the majority of the forum. (It takes me 3 hours to get there from Worcester)

Either way These are planned at some point.

BDB and RnB are the only real ones where everyone could turn up, though weather last year washed them out.

It really wants to be somewhere around South Yorkshire doesn't it? Basically, within easy range of the eastern end of the Cat & Fiddle. Would be great seeing as I could actually even go on a 4t 125! Very Happy

OT. Amy try again in a different thread (hijacking is cheeky and you will be killed Wink ). Try 'new bikers' or something?

Back on topic.

Would love to see this work but don't see it happening. Would have to be a huge camp out somewhere. Northwales or Manchester areas?

Wow we'd have a camp site to ourselves. Maybe we could 'rent' a field. Now that would be cool. Cool
