Anyone else interested in the Biggest UK meet now is the time to stick your name down. You can book the campsite and pay on the day we all turn up. The majority of people are stopping the Saturday Night, with more and more booking the Sunday as well for the run up to the Tan Hill Sunday morning.
The telephone number is 015396 25239 ask for Margaret and ask to be added to the bonnevilleamerica booking. The majority are stopping Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th May
Those that have just booked the Saturday and wish to book the Sunday I cannot see a problem, as I think we will be in a field away from others anyway. Meeting places throughout the UK 
Last call for anyone who is sat at home and thinking about joining us

ok, just had a chat with Jane, re: meeting places and times for those travelling up the M6, so our plans are: leave Coventry at 08:00 Hilton services 08:45 - 09:15 Keele services 09:40 - 10:00 Knutsford services 10:30 - 11:00 Forton services 11:45 (earlier if traffic allows  ) Anyone travelling up the A45 PM me and I will arrange to meet you just outside Coventry on the way to Jane and Keith's. Just post if you are meeting at any of these services. PM me if you don't have my mobile number, and want it. Will check phone at each meeting place.  Andy, glad you are going mate, will be good to see you again.

OK, I was thinking about going up the Fosse Way and hitting J2 M6, but as your starting before it's light, i'll be taking A419 to Cirencester A417 to M5 and Mway all the way up, reckon i'll be starting just after 8, so bound to catch you all somewhere, now I've got your timings.So if anyones coming from my way, time to get in touch.
Be good to see you again Paul

This is a repost so you all know where you are getting to for the meeting places and as a safety issue.
If you are new to riding in a pack, please take note of bullet point 4..
There is still time to join us on this rally, put your name down underneath and contact the campsite on 015396 25239 ask for Margaret and ask to join the "Bonnevilleamerica.com" group on whatever day you fancy.
You do not want to miss this event as it may never be repeated...
Fingers crossed for the weather, see you all Saturday

According to the Met Office - 'Mainly cloudy with showers and spells of rain across western parts of the UK this weekend, with some heavy bursts possible. More eastern areas should be brighter and rather warm'
No worries... pubs are waterproof

Didn't make it onto the list of attendees, but I'm a comin. Confused about the meeting place for those travelling from the south? The post says meet on the M6 services after the junction with the M55. Forgive me if I'm wrong but the M55 goes from preston to Blackpool??? Doesn't seem very far south to me. Anybody heading up from the south wanna ride up together? I was thinking more like Watford Gap or similar. I know the answers probably on here somewhere, but there's just tooooo much to read.

Just a pointer mate, tell 'em where you're travelling from and what does 'south' mean?
After all, the Midlands is considered 'south' for our friends Oop North!

Slight complexication, guys - Mrs.23 wants to go & see her Auntie who lives in Kelbrook on the Friday night, so we will now be going from Kelbrook to Dent on the Saturday. Depending on how time goes (& fond farewells, etc. ), we might be at Devil's Bridge cafe @ Kirkby Londale on the A65 for the 2'o clock off but if we aint't - see you in Dent!

For all those who are somewhere near Nottingham...
I'm riding up from there. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing, but it WON'T be early. Probably leaving my parents around 11. I suspect that'll be too late to get to the Kirkby Meetup but I'm just gonna take it steady and go across county...like Ashbourne, Buxton, Glossop, round Manchester, then assorted green and yellow roads.
If anyone want's to ride up that way, that's ok...pm me and I'll arrange a time and a place. But be warned....I may have to stop regularly and stretch my back into something like a normal shape. I've not really ridden a long distance for a while now, so it'll be see how it goes.
If no one wants to acome that way I'll just do my own thing....

Ok, for those travelling up on M40, M5, A50, M6. We have allowed half hour at each meeting point, in case people get caught in traffic. Quote:
ok, just had a chat with Jane, re: meeting places and times for those travelling up the M6, so our plans are:
leave Coventry at 08:00
Hilton services 08:45 - 09:15
Keele services 09:40 - 10:00
Knutsford services 10:30 - 11:00
Forton services 11:45 (earlier if traffic allows )
Anyone travelling up the A45 PM me and I will arrange to meet you just outside Coventry on the way to Jane and Keith's.
Just post if you are meeting at any of these services.
PM me if you don't have my mobile number, and want it. Will check phone at each meeting place.
Andy, glad you are going mate, will be good to see you again.

Just had a thought. As we appear to be planning to socialise in the evenings, is it expected that we dress for dinner or is the code "smart casual" appropriate? I obviously don't want to stick out like the proverbial sore thumb like the time I discovered that I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat! Really looking forward to seeing you guys at the weekend. Bring it on!
