I anyone is interested we are opening up our clubhouse on the Saturday evening, so there will be camping space available, a bar somewhere warm and fifteen minutes up the road from the meeting point on the airfield. We can accommodate about 200 or so if your are interested then drop me a line
 
Hello,
I am very interested in turning up for this one, have not booked my slot yet though, is their a limit to the amount of riders per slot ?

I live in Grays, so meeting at the cafe is no issue for me.

Thanks

There is no limit to the size of the bike group but there is a limit for the Afgan Heroes event.

First thing to do is sign up to the Afgan event for the 09:00-10:00 slot and then post up if you want to join the ride.
 
OK,
I am booked in for the 8-9 slot.
to confirm, please add me to your ride list, will meet at the cafe @ 06:00 ( I think that was the time ? Need to check that)

thanks

I will be using my Tom Tom and can bluetooth itinary routes across to other users on the day.
If anybody requires Garmin then PM me but I will need somebody to tidy up my conversion file. Any takers for this?

Have you all booked your time slot (09:00-10:00) for the run through Wootton Bassett? No need to respond - just a reminder.
