Who’s interested in Camping Weekend down here in Central Southern England next year? Hi all I’m new to this site, and more so to this err on line dating malarkey so be gentle with me ladies .  But I’m not new to organizing camping weekends for motorcycle clubs.Here are a few details of my motorcycling background if it helps you to decide whether or not you'd like to come or not   In my previous position as the Public Relations Officer, committee member and a founder member of a motorcycle club here in the UK in 1995 that grew and spread to gaining members join from a few places around the world and is still going well 17 years later. Winning coveted awards for best club stands, best bikes at National and international classic bike shows here in the UK (Stafford) plus other events and shows. Having the club and my bike at the time published in much of the motorcycle press. I have found biker friendly sites, hotel & venues used for AGM's and camping weekends, sorted out the catering and much of the other stuff needed to turn a old bike gathering in a field for a weekend into a great camping and biking weekend for over a hundred bikers (l left this club in 2002 due to not having the type of bike and having a big off) . I'm still involved in my local motorcycle club for the last 16 years as an active committee member, touring secretary for the last year but I hope to pass that over in January and become editor for the club's newsletter. Anyway… as I was saying,,, I find it enjoyable and fairly easy putting on an event for people who have a passion for the same thing as I do. Like most events they seem to happen miles away from right down here on the hot sunny South Coast lol   Yes ok many can travel 100’s of miles but some can’t, therefore, if there are enough people interested I could look into sorting out a camping weekend next year.   Obviously I will need numbers of people who are only interested at this stage   Cheers Fred from right down eeer. 
I wonder how long it will be before someone on here susses out what bike I had and what the club was that I helped form  lol                                                                                                                                                                              

it would be a good thing, as not a lot happens down here, I would be up for it...                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds good to me to                                                                                                                                                                             

Hi Fred, welcome to BM. Sounds like a plan and depending on dates, etc I'm interested. If you need any help with anything feel free to contact me or any other members of the Events Team.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks guys and cheers Simon, I didn't know there is an events team on here cos "I'm only new" 
I was thinking maybe the Barge Inn next to the Kennet & Avon Canal in a little hamlet called Honey Street in the Vale of Pewsy  http://www.the-barge-inn.com/index.php 
However, last year they told me I couldn't book a a party of campers except for an area at the end of the site? 
But when I went again a few months back it was closed for refurbishment, I've returned since it reopened to find new owners and it is much better inside now.
The size of the site maybe too small depending on the amount of interest or actual numbers who turn up, that's if they allow large groups now.

I thinks it's too early to choose a venue at this moment in time but I was thinking Hampshire/Wiltshire/Dorset/West Sussex borders.

So people of the sunny south this is our chance to get something off the ground for us down eeer for one  

Open to suggestions of course.

                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds good Fred we dont have enough events in the south so get organizing, dont think you would need any help but i'm always willing to help with any thing if you do                                                                                                                                                                              

eyup & welcome to BM Fred Dive in with ya boots on & you'll have a great time.   Camping down your neck of the woods sounds great - we had a weeks camping down in Cornwall earlier on this year which was a great laugh.   Depends on dates for me & if they collide with the racing calendar, but I'm sure you'll get lots of people interested as we do tend to travel around a lot & if you're feeling brave we have a camping weekend this weekend near Boston - check out the link: http://www.bikermatch.co.uk/sites/bm/events/event_details.asp?event_id=1813 Come & Say Hi - there's quite a few Newbies coming along & we promise not to scare ya....too much anyway
