Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a memorable event.
Definitely the best one yet for many reasons.
Firstly, the weather played a big part with constant glorious sunshine. Even I cannot claim any credit for organising that.
Secondly, it was due to such an excellent crowd of people who came. Every single person who attended is very welcome to come again.
Preparation. I managed to get everything sorted in advance this year so I was far less stressed and I could enjoy the event in a more relaxed manner and just chilled out myself.
It was great to have the disabled group join us in the afternoon. It made us all realise how fortunate we all are and reminded us where the proceeds were going.
I've not worked out the detailed costings yet or even counted up the cash but it looks like we have made a good amount for the charity which Barclays will double.
Dave Lees has just turned up at 11.00 pm It's been a long day especially after I fell asleep watching the F1 race.
There are so many people for me to thank that I don't want to offend anyone by missing anyone out but a few deserve special thanks.
SWMBO/ PinkLady/ My wife Ann. She returned to work last week for the first time in seven months after her back op last Nov. She was tired but still worked almost non-stop to help run the event. Numerous people helped her in the kitchen with washing up etc and this was much appreciated.
Sumprat/Simon our chef did an excellent job of preparing and cooking all the food for up to 50 people on our simple home cooker.
Steptoe did a fine job of helping in the worshop especially as he worked on three of my old airheads and got them all running sweetly especially my R100RS that feels like a new bike.
Pete Tibbs who quietly worked away on Trigger and sorted out the final electrical issues with others such as Nick.ct helping.
John/ Paintman who very kindly repaired the car belonging to my friend Niggy who runs the disabled group.
I know there were numerous others who helped in many ways and it was all appreciated.
One thing I forgot was to take many photos. Hopefully others took photos so please post them up so others can see what they missed.
