Re: Busy few days!
Yes, it's a lovely feeling knowing that after a quick sea journey we'll all be on the Island again..very soon...............

Not sure about the lashings though !!

Expecting rough seas ??? naw !

Anything happening with the get-together while we are at the TT

Which venue ? Might I recommend the SWAN in Parliament Square ??

The Swan?
Now THAT is a good idea.
Personally, I favour the Sulby Glen, but I would, woudnt I?
Trouble is, folk are so spread around for an evening meet!
Pubs in an estate in Douglas are abit tricky.
Ah well, we will see!

Re: Busy few days!
Maybe we need more than one meet...I will be over from 3rd, and based, as usual at the bottom of Bray. The Cat suits me, but not some of you, Sulby Glen would be perfect (well, it would wouldn't it, Rosie!) except I have no transport..Sunday is iusually my day for there, but not Mad Sunday, thanks!
How about a fav Douglas place, or out on a limb here...the Sidings in Castletown..accessible, and REAL ALES?

Re: Meeting Place get-together
If not the Swan, and you all want Douglas, how about something at the Onchan end ? We need to decide fairly sharpish I guess.

I had to miss meeting you all last year cos I had to go off island and then return.

Let's do it this year

Re: Meeting Place get-together
I for one would love to be able to meet SOMEWHERE.
Getting to Douglas from Sulby is not impossible and I guess I can rely on the ever supportive pamela to drive me home.
If we cant make it the Sulby Glen ( and I do hope we can !) then let me know about the alternative.
Practice week prefered but not essential.
By the way, I couldnt FINF the Cat pub....!
At least the Sulby Glen is easy to spot and,mmm, those rib eye steaks!

Re: Meeting Place get-together
I just thought, if we plan a Sulby meet, it COULD be a late lunch and linger job.....?
That way, people who travel from Douglas can go back in daylught. Just a thought

Re: Meeting Place get-together
A friend of mine and race official, Colin Delaney, is visiting the TT for the first time and I told him of your get togethers. He will be staying at Mona something or other at Douglas and it would be great if he could get to meet some of you. Let's know if you plan a meeting. Thanks.

Re: Busy few days!- riding in the wet??!!
I had to ride my back in the rain this morning?
Bit of a culture shock for me!
As a self confessed fair weather rider, imagine my bewilderment when I had to ride my bike in for a brake service, in the rain!! Yuk.
There is another thing thats changed..
PAYING for brakes to be serviced!
Not getting any younger!!

So, are we any neraer to a meeting place?
I am still hoping for the Sulby but wil see what folk come up with.
If somebody decides Onchan, there is alwasy the Mines.
Incidentally, are we atalking practice week?
