We have a regular meeting on the 2nd Thursday each month. Following suggestions, we'll try a different venue each month for a while and see how we get on.

For June, we'll gather at the The Spaniards from 6.45pm.

Thanks Greg

Good stuff Greg.

For those in the area I've set up this new group in the Adventure Bike Rider Forum for those in the North London/Herts/Beds area. Greg you can be Green Lane Captain! Linky here

 

[bandit]

I shall be there

 

[Wandering Star]

Will try to get along if I can escape early enough from a works related event.

 

[NLC]

Parents fly in from Canada so I'll see if the old man is up for a pub night with a few Tossers.

Perfect for me only five minutes from home, but heading over to Isle of Man tomorrow

Is there a meeting this month for the North Londoners?
I would like to put some faces to names.
Any ideas?
Was the Spaniards any good?

 

[Oldrat]

I've always been interested, but work keeps conflicting. Still interested.

Next meeting is not until 14 July.

Do you want to propose a venue? There was some discussion about a GS-able evening trail ride, so the venue ought to be in Herts or Essex.

Where is everybody?

Greg, bit disillusioned with this 'Forum'
Afer 3 visits to White Webbs:
1. Good night
2. Rearranged on the night to another pub!
3. 2 guys turned up for half an hour!
Thought we'd try Ace Cafe the other Sunday (As posted by judge)..
No one to be seen either!
Let me know if there a meet this month, think there should be one tomorrow the 14th July..
ABR stuff sounds very good..... Sorry if i'm bitching but unless people turn up to these events, newish people to forums will lose interest.. Cheers

When 'regular meets' are posted like White Webbs
& Ace Cafe, people actually turn up!
Ace Cafe was my 4th meet. The 2nd where
no one turned up!
I joined to find some like minded people & share
ideas etc.. Other than the very 1st meet, where back
last year, it's been hard to get people out to arranged
nights!

 

[darkhorse]

Most of the regulars at the Ace on the first Sunday of the month where at the meet of the year, The Hograost this month.
I am sure there will be plenty there in August.

Or the ABR ride on the 24th. A number of people will be there.

... and that's why I haven't formally organised anything this month.

It used to be that we'd have a couple of dozen people at Whitewebbs, but for various reasons some of the stalwarts have not been of late and the numbers have dwindles to just one or two.

I think that we should give give it a break for a couple of months and regroup in the autumn.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

chorus
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
