East Mids Autumn Weekend 4/5/6 October 2024

[tuftywhite]

Dates subject to confirmation from the pub.

Don't need firm numbers, just turn up if you want to. It would be great if you could indicate your interest and if you intend to take part, even if you can't make it at the last minute. It will also give me rough numbers to give to the pub and the café.

Even better if you can stay or come back for the evening to chat through the day's events. We get quite a few attendees who turn up for the ride but don't stay for the social, which I think is missing the point. I live 10 mins away. Still camp both nights.

All welcome. Not just East Mids.
No dogs.

Saturday breakfast will be at café at the canal basin over the road.

Camping is at the rear of the pub, there is hard standing for a camper van or two, plus carpark. No overnight facilities once the pub has closed.

Camping is free as long as we eat at the pub Saturday evening.


Please post on here if you are attending and your options from the choices below.

I'm assuming the usual suspects will be leading the road and green lane rides. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Options:

a - camping
b - road ride
c - green lane ride

David, thanks for organising, some prospect I might be able to make this.
Would be camping and either road or trail depending on what I arrive on!


Have to say how much I miss the East Midlands section!

I seem to remember Kirsty does a healthy measure of whisky.
