*GS Event* Going again.

[Crapaud]

Yes, we are running our event for the 18th year, after starting in 2009.

We are making a few changes for next year's event.
I want it to be first and foremost a biker's event so it will be. My local "luvvies" from the Amdram group will be invited to a separate event. The combined event got too big this year at over 70 attendees and made it too stressful.
So for 2026 we return to a simpler format of chillin out.

After all my health issues over last year, I have finally got myself sorted and am back riding bikes. Like me, all my bikes are in good health and ready to go. Anyone coming by car or van can borrow one for our rideouts.

Any questions just ask.

Thanks Sid, all the best to you and Anne and I hope you both have a fantastic Christmas and a healthy 2026 - and stop bashing your body up you daft lad.

 

[Paul Young]

Glad to hear you’re fit for duty again, Sid. Best wishes to you both

and stop bashing your body up you daft lad.

And if you think Sid is going to take any notice of that

And if you think Sid is going to take any notice of that

I think it's more the Doc, and Ann with a big stick

Only just seen this thread! Happy to see it is back on, my partner and my both my children may want to come so I could be coming by car this time....!

We are not going to be able to make it this year, unfortunately.

We have two weddings to attend, including our eldest Son's, have a spectacular party.

 

[Oldrat]

Thank you Sid.

I’d love to come and have pencilled it in my diary. I won’t be able to confirm ‘til later.

Looking forward to meeting you

All welcome.
Just to clarify, all UKGSers and families are welcome and it doesn't matter how you get here.
When I stated that it was returning to being a bikers party, I did not mean bikes only. So you are all welcome if you come by car, motorhome or any other means. You can also get a train, hitchhike or fly to Bergerac airport and we'll pick you up from there.
If staying without a bike I'll have a few bikes available to loan out. Both my R1100GS and my R100GS are running perfectly. I also just bought a Honda crf300l last week.
My mate Rob has agreed to lead some interesting ( and brisk!) ride outs again.

I am not adverting it on Facebook so it is restricted to being a UKGSer only event.

Hi Sid,

Is it the same dates?

TA Steve

 

[Crapaud]

Yes dates as per title. But people turn up anything up to a week early and leave weeks later. No problem.

Had a great day out with Rob last year, and I like the ‘brisk’ characterisation…

Nice veranda area, good WiFi and a pool to cool off in the afternoon
