Anyone going to the Shepton Mallet Classic Bike Show (6/7 Feb)?
« on: January 25, 2016, 05:21:56 PM »
Hello all,

Is anyone going to the Classic Bike Show at Shelton Mallet on Sat 6th/Sun 7th Feb and wants to meet up there?

I plan to be there on Saturday but the weather will determine my mode of transport!

I'm not aware of any greeting protocol for forum members (e.g. maybe wearing a carnation and having a password?!), but if there is one, please post! Maybe you also know of a suitable location (club stand?) that we could migrate to at say noon on both days.
 
Maybe nice to put a few faces to forum names, eh?

Cheers, D.

90% certain I will use the car

Unfortunately I will not be able to be there this time. I have been told I cannot go out bike riding again or to anything 'nice' until I have finished helping dig out the base for the concrete floor for my new shed, help finish installing all his new equipment into his workshop, do the housework, ironing, cooking blablabla. I feel like bloody Cinderella at times  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Have a great time for those that can make it xx

I never worked this hard when I was working full time John, I really don't know where the time goes, well I do actually, it's spent running around the country picking up bikes, parts and equipment and such like. Never mind, keeps me out of mischief, well some times  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't forget your name badges so we can recognise each other.

Shifter, agree with your sentiment and impressed re 150's... my Dad used to work at Gardners.

Noon it is (thank you VJMC).

Julie, you will go to the ball.... eventually.

Cheers all, D. (one month into retirement so still a novice... bit like my SOHC rebuilding credentials).
