dragon rally anyone?

Pauly S · Jan 16, 2011

righty o

All the kent jesses, do you fancy meeting at clackett lane services on saturday morning early for the blast up?tbc
theres me, Dane and Dave so far.Paul

davegs · Jan 16, 2011

Meeting

I was going to suggest this as it would seem to be on the way for a few of us
but DON'T rely on buying petrol here as it used to be tghe most expensive in thwe country. I suggest we meet around the back in the car park bit more space than in the petrol bit. And of course WHAT TIME? we'll both be at the curry night on 3rd feb. ("Pauly" and me)
Dave GS (after that reckon I'll be left behind!)

Pauly S · Jan 16, 2011

yep...

Dave is right, as per most motorway services, buy fuel elsewhere.
How about 8.30 am for an expensive coffee, then leave at 9.00?

Meeting

Great Idea, mines black with one sugar.

Frodo is not a signed up member of UKGSer so motives here, in my book, are suspect

Well Micky, I'm not yet a signed up member because I only joined a short while ago & have only posted a few times. I thought I'd see how friendly the natives were before taking the plunge, which, it seems may have been a good decision. Not wishing to derail this thread, I'd be interested to know why you think my motives are 'suspect'??

I was simply sharing my experience of attending several previous Dragon Rally's with other forum members, warning them to come 'self sufficient' for the event as the catering arrangements are minimal in comparison with most other rallys.

I'd also be interested to know if other (subscribed) forum members also feel the same way as Micky ??

Nomad Biker(Paul); I haven't noted the prices down from previous years, but I don't recall frequenting the burger van at previous Dragon's. This would have been because the food would have been priced higher than the norm I expect at rallys... When this happens I just refuse to buy from the van & fall back on the long-life stuff I always bring with me.

Catering is minimal at the rally (i.e. take it or leave it; we're the only van so you'll have to pay our prices) so come suitably prepared.....

No chance ! My weekends are for biking..
Although I might end up cooking up some communal curry / chilli / gluhwein for a few mates........

Frodo, no one was having a dig at you but from reading your first post it looked like it was your burger van the way you stated it rather than quoting the burger van's owners. This would seem to be the usual attutde of all shows / rallys caterers "you don't like it, tough!", anyway we are comming self contained and look forward to seeing you there.

It came across to me like that too.BUt no matter,me Davey, and Dane are self sufficient, and not a burger in sight.

We are relying on nomad "Jamie Oliver" above to sort out a menu!, briiliant job at the last camp out so we all have great hopes!.
Dave GS.

Micky · Jan 17, 2011

Frodo ... I rather got the impression from your post (as others above) that it was your burger van, you were selling the burgers at whatever price you want because you have the sole contract to be there ... the punters could take it or leave it

You're not a signed up member and haven't posted much, yet pop up telling us you're selling there and we can take it or leave it ... sounded to me like a vested interest

It appears that I was wrong so I do apologise

....but I still wont be buying from the burger van

Have a great Dragon

oooh you wait big boy....
