*GS Event* September 4th - 6th 2026

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Wonderful weekend thank you to everyone involved in organising it and for making it such a great time.
I can only add to what others have said about the delight of seeing some long standing friends and meeting lots of terrific people I've not met before.
Huge thanks to everyone at the hotel as well for the hard work they put in to make us feel very welcome.

I’m just in, and managed to pretty much dodge the rain almost the entire journey.

I echo Bill’s sentiments.
Thank you Jochen
Great weekend, great folks, great location- see you all next year.

Thanks to everyone who's involved with the organisation, especially Jochen, and see you all next year.

A good weekend and my wife's first visit to this august event. She loved both the people and the view, the latter of which she painted this morning. Thanks @Jockser

Dave & I set off north on Sunday to pick up a few Photo Rally points & ride a few interesting roads. Didn't get home until late Monday night. Weather was mixed but the craic was good

Thanks to everyone who came along. It was great to see all the familiar faces & even better to meet some new ones
We were very lucky with the weather on Saturday which certainly helped with people's enjoyment of the run

I was very remiss on Saturday evening not to mention the fabulous work done by my sweeper Sarah & her rider Merv. Thanks for stepping up at short notice guys

So that's it until next year. The 2027 date is Sept 3rd - 5th
Book it via [email protected] & mention the GS weekend
And don't be complaining to me in August that's it's full

See ya all next year

PS: I'm missing my wallet on the off chance someone has found a black wallet that doesn't belong to them

 

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Thanks again Jockser.
Booked for next year for both myself and the wife.
Sorry to hear about your wallet.

Thanks again for another great weekend Jochen.
I had an excellent chowder at McGreal's in Doogort, by the way, if you have not tried there previously.
