UK Tigertriple Trip 2019 to Devon or that sort of direction tbc

[Nick Calne]

Shall we have a vote on the matter and see what happens?  In the spirit of Jon Snow on channel 4 at election time...your candidates are:

1st-2nd June (UKIP) - Likely to be very popular in Devon, no idea what will happen after a vote. May involve casual racism.

8th-9th June (Lab) - Utter madness, start to finish, bitter recriminations and 10 years of austerity to follow.

15th -16th June (Lib) - Middle ground, might be boring. Unlikely anyone will vote for this option.

22nd-23rd June (Cons) - Trip likely to cost more than you are told. If someone's bike breaks down you get means-tested as to whether the group will help you fix it.

29th-30th June (DUP) - May result in heated arguments about border crossings, followed by a parade through a non-motorbiking part of the nearest town.

  like it but anyway back to the task in hand. Can do all of June but around the middle would be preferred. About mid point from getting the bike on the road after 2 years and the family holiday mid August.

Gone for 8-9 but can do any apart from 22-23. 
BTW, Father's Day is on the 16th if that's an issue for anyone?

Would it be advisable to contact the venue HockleyBoy suggested to check availability first?

[Nick Calne]

Threepot, just checked their website.  There are 10 rooms on a b&b basis, 38 bunkhouse beds and room for 75 tents and 10 motor homes! To book rooms you have to email with details which we don't have until people pick a date and confirm their availability. You cant book camping. It's pay and play on the day. I'll call tomorrow them but I'm sure it'll be fine whenever we go. Pick a date!

Just gonna sit on this here fence as anytime in June will do just fine

My sister gets married on 15th in Devon, so will be there anyway. Mrs L's sister is also expecting us in Southend the same weekend for her wedding anniversary, so I think I'll be a little too busy to ride anywhere.

I'll just see what the majority comes up with & negotiate a weekend pass if I can make it.

[Nick Calne]

I have spoken to the Plume of Feathers.  If we want to get a group booking in for say 10 in the bunkhouse and a couple of campers it would be useful to get our booking confirmed by the end of next month.  At present there are no substantial bookings and we are free to choose.

[Bixxer Bob]

Cant do 8-9th (Cadwell Park) but ok otherwise.

[PeteH]

So far we have the 1 - 2 and 29 - 30 that all who have replied can attend... cant see the vote so cant comment on that.

[John Stenhouse]

I can't do 1st and 2nd

[Nick Calne]

Can't see the vote Pete?

[PeteH]

Can't see the vote Pete?

Because I didn't click on the see results button 

Plus the vote doesn't reflect the dates that people can attend only their preferred dates...so we may need a second vote 

[Nick Calne]

So far we have the 1 - 2 and 29 - 30 that all who have replied can attend... cant see the vote so cant comment on that.

Anyone unable to do the 29-30th?

Also would anyone like to plan or help plan the ride out route? I don't mind popping down to do some research rides if anyone is interested in coming along.

If someone lives nearer and can do it all that would be excellent.

[Nick Calne]

No dissenters. Shall I book it up?
