One thing I might add. The SOHC seems to get the same location every year, it's not the best location I feel. How about asking if the exhibitors areas could be rotated every year, we'd certainly get more attention further up the site.
Who won best bike BTW? I saw a few rosettes on bikes but didn't spot best in show.
My bad Ken. I asked for the same area as thought all happy last year and assumed desirable place as Vincent club were in front of us last year (where Triumphs were this time). They are vey involved in organising the event. Glad to try something different if wanted... Best bike in show as below. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] There is a facebook page which is something I generally avoid. However looked at it on my wifes phone. Low and behold, a photo of our very own John W riding in on his trusty 500/4.!!

Hi ,
Just to say I have passed on our feelings re parking control on the day. See copy text of my email to Jon Lambley, one of the organisers. I had the reply next morning (see below also), having only emailed him late the night before. I think this, along with his comments reflect they want to sort it!

My email:-
Thanks Jon,
the problem was quite simple and related to parking in agreed exibition area. Having only found out late on about a change from last year to pre register individually, our group members registered on the gate as requested and were given a red wrist band. Then on saying to marshalls they had been told to ask to be sent to the Honda area, many were refused, saying there was no space. I know specifically somone arrived at only 10.30 to be told this.
I think I personally got to the designated area on foot soon after 10. At that point there were probably 8-10 bikes parked up, of which 2 were SOHC members. The area was definitely not full then, yet I know at that very time our members were being refused passage down.
We are not precious about our bikes being of a specific type and happy to park up with other bikes and gladly share a general Honda grouping. However, there was insufficient space left in our allocated area. As a forum we had registered interest for 15 -25 bikes. In reality less than that came, so we shoukd have had ample space. As you know our application was mislaid too and it was only on chasing things up that we found out about the pre registering thing at all. Was it the case that he marshalls were sending any Hondas down to our area, taking up the majority of the space allocated to our specific group?
The idea of this event for our members who are from all over the country and often only know others by name, was to meet up chat and check out each other's bikes. Difficult when their machines were at extreme ends of the facility!
Jon, don't get me wrong we had a great day but the edge was taken off it by this for all of us. I think this needs more thought next year from the organisers. Please see this as constructive comment, I know you and others work really hard on this growing event.
On a more possitive note, gift aid was mentioned. Is the museum a registered charity? Also, how about a few more bike specific trade stalls? Would maybe keep people on site longer after all the bikes have been checked out?
Regards,
Tim
Jon's Reply:-
Hi Tim,
no offence taken at all Tim and I understand your points.
The stewards were told any late entries were to be sent to the area up the hill at the top end and I definately told them that if any rider stated they were on a club or group stand that they should be directed there. Clearly it didn't happen and I can only appologise.
The mislaying of the form had nothing to do with that as I knew you were coming and kept that space for you. The fact that individuals hadn't booked was a factor because had they booked it wouldn't have happened like it did. One change may happen for next year is pre-booked only, which should help.
Anyway, next year you will get together and I will make sure of it.
We are yet to have our debrief with the tramway and have lots of things to discuss and iron out.
Please appologise to your group and assure them they will be fine next year.
Trade stands is on the agenda but space is an issue.
Regards
Jon

I thought the genuine ones were hollow Hairy, that looks a solid bar.
Jesus I think I'm becoming an anorak as I noticed that too. Must be 35 years since I removed one! Brain must not be as crumbly as I (and others) thought.

Was up at the Ponderosa (Horseshoe Pass) today and noticed the average speed cameras on the A5104, I am that slow nowadays that it doesn't bother me but be warned.
Cheers
Dennis
So it's not just me that can't even get up to 50mph on these roads let alone stay under 50mph !!!😊😊😊 Both Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle have average speed cameras. The local bikers go flat out between the cameras, then stop and wait a minute, then go flat out again.
As a local lad I was going to suggest that when you first posted But that would be irresponsible!!

Another good day, I think there were more bikes in total but less of the really old flat tankers and such. A pity we were split up as a group.
Yes sorry chaps, we were promised it would work as the instructions I posted originally. I will raise the issues. Such as shame as not only is it nice to put faces to names but also see bikes that have been talked about / photographed as builds etc. Have to educate them that a SOHC Honda is not just any Honda!! Everyone seems to have enjoyed it despite the above, as did I. Thanks for a great day.

No problem Paul, just went onto Google Earth and it's farther from the A6 than I remembered, not visited there for over 30 years and the old memory was telling me it was just outside of Matlock Bath and it's not after looking at the map. I gather we don't go in by the gates near the Town Hall then?
Yes exhibitors. There ia a lane up the the rh side of entrance. Pretty staight forward. Follow the bikes. About 10 mins max from A6. Tim

Sorry guys n gals, Things have apparently changed and registration is a little bit more involved than last year. Just need to register on arrival, although basic places are booked. Name address contact number and bike details etc. Wont be a problem besides this slight complication.
We are in the same place as last year on the Honda stand by Town Hall. As we are registering on arrival as above, we will be given a red sticker which is technically overflow. THEREFORE PLEASE ENSURE YOU TELL STEWARDS YOU ARE ON THE HONDA STAND BY TOWN HALL.
I'll post some mappy stuff in next few days...
Let me know if anything not clear.
Tim
Just re posting this in case anybody going missed it. Also, if you haven't said you are going through the forum and want to - just turn up and register on gate. Some maps too....
