It's about time there was an event like this down South, to try and encourage the more inactive rider and pilly members to join in with an event.   The venue is going to be Whiteways Café at Bury Hill nr Arundel, West Sussex BN18 9FD.   It will be on the events calendar in due course when more information is available regarding meeting places and start times.  Any members wanting to set up a meeting place in their area let me know for inclusion on the calendar.    Lets see some interest in this from across the south and beyond from both riders and pillys, get your names down.                                                                                                                                                                             

Bloody brill idea Dave... iam trying to get down there and hopefully will manage it somehow... hope to take part in either of the 2 pilly days                                                                                                                                                                             

can I come                                                                                                                                                                             

What a great idea.  I shall try to fit my work diary around this one and be in the area for that day :)                                                                                                                                                                             

  Well done Dave   It's time someone took the initiative to get the Southerners on board   If I can be there you can be sure I will   I wish you every success with it   Hope folk realise the importance & value of an event like this   Other than the KISS rally   It's one of the surest ways to meet your extended BM "family"                                                                                                                                                                               

If anyone's got a spare pilly and wants a rear gunner for this, then I'm yer gal

I'd love to join in this, so please give me a shout if this is you.

Usual T&C's  apply throughout the day. (Bacon/sausage/egg sarnies etc, and copious brews)

Disclaimer - these T&C's are not bribery ...oh no, not at all
                                                                                                                                                                             

Southern is that not everything past Newcastle

Fab but August I have Fringe festival so not be down in London as usual that month end

I coulda been furthest to come tis only 440 miles or so lol
                                                                                                                                                                             

Just realised I will be at the Rebel Rally that weekend..... grrrr                                                                                                                                                                             

Hang on. Does that mean we have to have someone else on the bike with us?
 Not sure about that. Folk might start to think i like people. Preposterous idea.
                                                                                                                                                                             

XJ you could always give them a pilly there and make them walk home. After buying your dinner Just a thought                                                                                                                                                                              

making them buy me dinner seems a bit mean. But making them walk home sounds like a bloody good idea. I may come on this ride out. Anyone want a lift?
                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds good :-)                                                                                                                                                                             

      Bringing this back to page one to try and raise some interest in this event                                                                                                                                                                             

Excellent idea and worth doing folks so come on get your names down :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Can amyone help out. As I enter my autumn years, I seem to miss things. In this case I can't find the event :-p                                                                                                                                                                             

That's because I haven't submitted it to the events calendar yet David .   I'm going to chat with AndySimmo about meeting places and times etc, then i'll get it on the events calendar.                                                                                                                                                                              

do we have to bring our own pilly or will you be providing them?
Will there be disclaimers to sign in case the pillys misbehave?
Will all the pillys be housetrained and good with kids?
Do the pillys bite?
Will it be a good idea to bring chocolate treats to help them behave themselves?
What do we do with the pillys when we have finished with them?

XJ if you have choc treats you will definately get a pilly lol                                                                                                                                                                             

I may decide not to share.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks Dave. I will keep checking events :-)
