Return to Kingfisher bar and cafe at Portland fishing lakes, Sibthorpe, Newark. NG23 5PN

10am winter start.

This is the nearest cafe we use if folks plan to visit the bike show.

The Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic show at Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire​

January 11-12, 2025​

 
Can’t make either the cafe or show - prior engagement.

Have fun all.
 
I have been looking at the weather conditions for this weekend and considering postponing this breakfast meet.

Kingfisher cafe is currently closed because of nearby flooding but hoping to open tomorrow.

Temperature is forecast to be -1C on Saturday morning.

This gives me concerns that there would be ice on the damp back roads!

I looked at the options of moving the meet to Nottingham airport cafe but that was also closed due to flooding this week!

Happy for suggestions and opinions on this.

Just checked their website. It states they are open today. We were intending to go in the car anyway. Keep us posted. Thanks.
 
Still up for a good breakfast but will almost certainly be taking the car!
 
I would also be using my car (4x4) Subaru.

I will keep the meeting on for now.

I can only advise people to check their journey is safe and if the cafe updates their Facebook I will share it here.

What about the heated windscreen, heated mirrors and warm air circulation, why was biking even a consideration, LOL ?

Hang on Chris, thought you had heated grips and seat on the GS ?

Gerry - thanks for organising - pity your new bike was not ready in time to bring along this morning :augie
 
Maybe next month eh ?


We can both arrive on our new Nortons next time then Andy.

Sorry I forgot you are waiting for a 25 plate!

A bit chilly yesterday at the Lakes and I didn’t spot anyone fishing! 🥶🥶🥶

Impressed that Marko came on a bike. 👏

More waiting for March as I simply won't have room until that time.
Probably first outing in April, you know how anal I am regarding salt etc.
Look forward to getting your first impressions of the bike Gerry.
