  1. My weekend off work so count us in, Paul and Thomas. Looked at booking two tickets with camping tonight to get early bird ticket price. The rules say if tickets aren’t booked on the linked club booking form (submit by 4th June) you will be directed to the public car park on arrival. Looks like they are sending out club passes in bulk to the club organiser.

  2. Stack up so me spacer blocks on top of the tyre (trial fit mudgaurd) to get the clearance you won't from the side profile. Then get bending with a good length of 2 * 1 (for leverage) between the tyre and wing stay. Keep moving the wood to develop a curve or angle as required untill the bracket touches the spacer block you stuck to the tyre. If the stays are too long trim them after bending so the wing sits flat to the bracket. Remember you can twist the flat bar as well wich helps a lot with final fitting. The old adage of the second attempt looks better doesn't apply, just make both sides look the same and it was meant to be. Ps. Try to keep the weld between the flat bar and tube straight, as this is the week point that will always braek first.

  3. First time at Kimbolton, both had a brilliant day out. Huge car show, excellent location, fantastic weather. Left my polish at home on principle, wore my bird muck all day (parked next to Kevin the chicken so looked quite presentable). Thomas went for ride in Noble m12 gto, apparently it's quicker than a pinto. Turned into street back home and a front cycle wing braket sheared off, pulled onto drive with mudguard resting on tyre!!

  4. Best venue yet, really easy to find just 2 minutes off A50. Both of us had a brilliant weekend. Could have done with more people, we only used half the hall. Must remember to pack a spare clutch cable next year (big thanx to all who helped). And the sun shone all the way home. See you all at Stoneleigh.

  5. If your dog dumps in the road it's a £1000 pound fine. Had a few close ones with horse poo on bikes. Round here however slow you drive past they wave their arms and shout abuse. If you have a horse get a field to play with it in and keep it on a lead at all times.

  6. You must be the two guys who parked far side of field, then sat in camping chairs for half hour not moving two feet from car? Personally I drove a nine and a half hour round trip for one night camp, two macdonalds, one pub meal, porter loo, giant caterpillar, ice cream after a mad dash chasing steamer, fantastic band standing room only. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Want to bank as many treasured memories of this fantastic club for my son and me as I can. See you all next year

  7. please put us on the list Phil. Paul and Thomas from the furthest reaches of norfolk (stop when you run out of road). Hopefully it's better sign posted than at the national meet, took us half an hour to find the field after driving past three times. Don't tell me I need a sat nav.
