Email off MAG today There are only 16 days left to buy tickets at prebook price of only £25.00* (Online and Telephone sales deadline extended until midnight Sunday 15th June). Tickets will be available on the gate at £35.00. So book now and save yourself some spending money Judging by current ticket sales it is going to be a bumper year. The site is ready, the bands are booked, the beer is chilling and the marshals are practicing their smiles. Even the sun is on standby and promises to be there at all times (except between 10pm and 5am that is!) So if you are ready for a weekend of Fun and Frolics, Music, Shopping, Comedy, Guitar Hero and other mad entertainment, you need to get yourself along and don’t forget your mates. If you or any of your friends haven’t yet prebooked tickets visit www.farmyardparty.com or telephone 0800 988 3199. If you manage to miss the deadline don't worry there will be no shortage of tickets for sale on the gate. Remember, No Cars, No Vans, No Pedestrians, No Excuses. This is why we are still the largest Motorcycle only event in Europe

Simon,
We could meet at Leicester Services, just past J21 M1, as I will hit the M1 at M69 Junc. Grzegorz could meet us there as well, Graham will also be hitting M1 not far from Silverstone, so you may be able to meet up with him somewhere around that area.

Sort out a meet time at LFE services and if I'm at home I might pop over and say hello to bods I haven't seen in a while. Now if THAT isn't incentive enough for you guys to start backing out, nothing is!

Tickets arrived!!! So All I've got to do now is fit the new main jets, finish the fill, sand and paint my rear fender. Re-run the rear electrics. Wrap the exhausts and re-fit them. This week, I've already modded the rear mudguard to recess the number plate, added new rear skull light. Relocated battery (thanks Brokenfixed) removed the airbox, removed the AI, Cut off all of the header heat shield, fitted a new front brake caliper. Just need it to stop raining long enough to paint her.

If we could all meet up and ride in together, it would be cool!!!  At the very least, we could all try and pitch our tents and park our bikes in the same spot. A little island of Britishness in an sea of Harleys

Simon we normally do, whoever is there first picks a spot and then we all camp together with our bikes in a line, it certainly makes people look

Hi, looks like we're going to make it down, possibly late on on the Friday evening after we're done with the horses at the Highland Show. Failing that, then we'll be there about Saturday lunchtime. G

Still awaiting my ticket.
Midday is fine by me.
Not been before, but am hoping site won't start filling up until the evening, so hoping we can get a pitch fairly close to loos and shower block.

Paul,
Some people start arriving Thursday evening, early Friday morning.
The good news is that there are loo's dotted around the site rather than in just one place. The bad news is that there have not been any showers at the 3 previous Farmyards that I have been to. I would suggest that you take some wet wipes!
(Alternatively, there is a stream running through the valley to the rear of the site)

I'll Report fer duty at 11.59 then old chum, but would have prefered to be arriving around then. Paul, in my humble experience, camping too close to the toilets is not such a good idea. Had a look at the website and can confirm there are no showers. Don't forget my Brufen. Really lookin forward to seeing you all again. Hope at least one of you has a clue where we're goin, cos I only do following, not navigating.

You have the furthest to come mate, it is half hour for me to meeting point, Grzegorz is about 5min away, Graham is about three quarters of hour, so you name the time and we will be there, anytime after nine is good me.
Brufen already sorted mate
