Sunday 8th February Ace Cafe London

Overland Adventure Travel Day

This should be a good day out for all, with some trade stands, invited guests and hopefully loads of interesting bikes

Hey Glynn,
Carl from the Ace Cafe popped over for a natter at the NEC - sounds like this is going to be a fun day. Think it's great that the Ace has woken up to us lot.

If anyone hasn't been to the Ace Cafe before this should be a great excuse to get down there/across there/up there

I forgot to ask Carl what time everything was kicking off and when it was running to. Do you have any idea?

Ceers,
Sam

Be nice if a few of the travellers left their stoves at home and bought a brew from the cafe unlike the last travellers meet there - proper pikey lot

If I'm not away working I might just have my bike back by then - don't fancy a travellers meet on a Honda CB600 with bad asthma

All presentations last around 20 minutes

As well as the above signing their books and DVD's there are several traders attending.

Anybody planning to meet up around Reading area to travel down? Depending on the magnitude of my expected opening day of 6 nations rugby hangover, I could be up for it...
