24th (Sunday)

Hertfordshire Lunch Meet at Coach & Horses pub in Newgate Street village in Hertfordshire around 12 Noon. So if you do turn up but don't see any bikes don't ride straight off have a look inside first.

Just to remind all those who have been tempted but haven't been able to attend yet, the pub serves a very nice Sunday roast at a very reasonable price. As I have said before, if you can't get there by bike never mind, you are welcome by whichever means you make it, as long as you are there you will be more than welcome - I'd rather see 6 or 7 club members who arrive by car rather than sit there on my own because vanity states we have to use our bikes regardless of the weather.

June

 

4th - 6th (Friday - Sunday) NEW

Whirlow Hall Bunkhouse & camping weekend. By popular demand this venue is back again next summer. This time I have reserved the "Barn" for the weekend 4th 5th & 6th June. Whirlow is a working farm and trips round the farm will be arranged for anyone who is interested. Its on the edge of the Peak District and there will be a really good, steady ride out on the Saturday. BBQ's , a barrel of beer and our sweet selves to provide entertainment will make for a friendly, sociable weekend. Last year we had a bit of a sing along to Eric on the guitar. The Barn sleeps 14 in 6 twin rooms and two singles. The rooms are clean and bedding is provided but it is not hotel standard. There's plenty of room for campers, again its basic but ok.

The cost is £25 per person for the weekend if you want a bed. Campers just £5. Most (in fact everyone last year) come on the Friday, mid-afternoon and left on Sunday mid-morning but you can stop Sunday night if you want. There's a log burner in the lounge, a kitchen and a gazebo with BBQ going most of the time. The farm shop sells most things you might need and I will get a stock of sausages , burgers etc in as well. There's a Chinese take away ,a Tandoori and a pub half a mile away so there's little chance of starving. I might try to sort out a trip to one or other of the nearby industrial museums if anyone is interested. Altogether a great weekend. Please PM me from the Forum for my address. There's only room for 14 (plus campers) so you need to book early.
