I'm in, no idea at this stage with what but most likely will be the stock ET as it's the only one complete.

We'll see, I'm with @Wee Manon that. Back of a van in cold and no doubt rainy mid-October vs a warm comfy bed, shower and a cooked breakfast. 

Maybe have a word with the organisers and see if they'll move the show to late August?

I’m in if wanted,  EFE and Turbo Bandit if enough room 

[davecara]

11 x 3m stand in the main hall confirmed this morning. The slim one and I reckon that to be about 10/11 bikes? 

Names please!

@davecara @Paulm @Wee Man@Bow @SiBag @imago @clairetoo  @clivegto  @Svsam @jb

 

Add your names please, if we get a definitive list together 5 weeks before show date then we get published in the program and the bikes can be judged along with the stand. I wouldn't usually be arsed but seeing as we won best stand last year it'd be nice to get some more silverware for some of us!

Who's doing van and who's doing hotel?

I ask because room bookings will start filling up soon and much as I enjoy your company, bollocks to sleeping in a van in October (even without flies!). So for me it's going to be a few beers and taxi back to warm and comfy. 

[davecara]

Van for the majority I think mate

Cool, I'll just book wherever then if there aren't many/any doing the hotel thing.

See if you can find some of that Moonshine @Blubber brought over, that'll keep you toasty in the back of a van if you drink enough of it!

To be honest it's not the cold, just that these days if I have more than one night not in a proper bed with a pillow my neck plays absolute havoc for weeks after. Two of the vertebrae are fused, so when it goes out of line even slightly it loads up the one below and above at which point cutting my own head off becomes a serious option. I know you know exactly the sort of pain I'm talking about.

Anyway, given how close Stafford is to me what I save on diesel I can spend on a room and end up with the weekend costing the same as everyone else anyway. 

[clivegto]

Van for me, I have a proper bed, mattes and 2 pillows.
