Ignore Austin Vince's invitations would be my advice
Off we go again 15th - 17th August 2025
- Thread starter Crapaud
- Start date
Have you thought of a mobility scooter ??
lol
I can vouch for the games room.
Sid/Ann provide plenty of mattresses, pillows, sleeping bags & blankets & it's very cosy. If there are snorers then wear ear plugs to drown out their noise.
I wake early most days, so a quick trip over to the main house for a refreshing shower & then back to the games room to apply the lotion/deod
& start the day.Last year there was only myself & Stevie 4 scoops in the games room & so we had loads of space....& neither of us snored!!
It sounds like the t-shirt’s bang on the mark, Sid… Hope your mending (again)
Just a reminder, that mobile homes are welcomed. We have plenty of parking space on level firm surface with easy electric and water hook up.

My boys tell me I snore so you must sleep well
I slept much better in Sid and Ann's games room than I do at home.
Good morning Sid and Ann
Thanks for hosting again this year, last year was great and I'd love to join you all this year.
Will your local town be hosting a similar event to last year? It was a great atmosphere and a great time was had by all.
I slept better in your games room than I do at home so please can I reserve a space in there?
Looking forward to it.
Thanks again.
Yes there will be the Friday night event in Beauville, about a 30 to 40 minute ride. They have already booked a decent band and the bar will stock up on zero % 1664 which was popular last year. We will again have reserved VIP parking for all the bikes. For those travelling in cars,vans or motorhomes without bikes, I can possibly lend out a GS or two.
My old mate Rob will again lead out some good ride outs. I'l try to pursuade him to ride his ancient Royal Enfield rather than his GS12 so the youngsters can keep up.
I've already started preparations by extending the cover over the patio too provide more shelter from the sun (or rain!).
Plenty of room in games room with several mattresses.
Anything else, just ask.

Thanks EV - Name added.
Thanks Sid, I’m really looking forward to it again.
I take it as a compliment that I don’t class as a youngster, these days…
I know some people are coming in motorhomes and have asked if I wanted anything bringing over.
One item is coffee, we get through tons of it but I can only get small very expensive jars locally.
When in UK I tend to buy the large catering size tins of Nescafe. Unfortunately we haven't been to UK this year so stocks are low. I will of course reimburse the full cost.
Coffee snobs, don't worry our Chef Simon has machines for making fancy stuff if you don't like instant.

No prob's Sid
I'll check at Costco for you when I check on the bacon pricing

I dont think Rob being on the Enfield will make sod all difference
, he'll still show most a clean pair of heels
OK folks, just over a month to go.
We are working flat out to get everything ready. Not easy in this heat as it was up to 42° at one point. But don't forget that we have a large swimming pool to cool down in. Speaking of which, I've tried to repair several of the inflatables and purchased many new ones. I have an inflatable Harley which handles very similar to a real one.
Music. I've bought a decent big bluetooth speaker with flashing lights etc. So if you have any decent music then bring it along. Also if anyone is any kind of musician then please let me know. I'm tryig to arrange some brief entertainment on the Saturday night. I've wired in a new Karaoke machine which I can use to get rid of my French neighbours if they stay too long.
Any questions, just ask.

Not long to go now.
Two week's tomorrow I'll be setting off bright and early for the ferry and heading south.
Looking forward to it
