Hi Folks I was aiming to make it to the Dent event but life got in the way, just looking at the photos it looks like not many made it either. I did think that at least a hundred bikes would have been there or are the photos not telling the whole story? Has anyone thought about a one day meeting??
Cheers
What's the 'Two faced comment' title s'posed to mean?
Quite a few said they were coming, but didn't come ... some did't bother to let me know. I do believe you were one of them!
Quite a few came that didn't say they were, probably because of the superb weather.
Not everyone that came let me know they were there, so missed out on coasters, tea pot stands and decals.
So a rough and ready count was a total, to my knowledge, of 73 people attending ... and who respectfully raised a grand total of £1,268.87 for The Great North Air Ambulance. Having said that, there were some great folk who didn't attend and yet still chipped in for the GNAA
The Dent Event was never meant to be a fund raising charity event, and basically it still isn't. But with the generosity of folk donating raffle prizes (UKGSer's and good business folk) me scrounging the coasters and decals for nothing, there was never going to be a charge to folk for attending (only the requirement for them to pay their camping fees to High Laning and nothing to do with me or UKGSer)
So the money made on the raffle went to the GNAA ... a charity that benefits locals and tourists alike. This is the fourth year we have organised this event, and to date raised over £4,000 for the GNAA
Would a one day event do this?
Please feel free to organise a one day event if you would like to do so
