Just to make everyone aware that, next year you will all have the chance to visit Builth Wells three times !. But why would you want to ?. Well, let me tell you.
There are a few of us on here, Me , Wenders and DesRes, to name 3, who all go to a little rally that happens twice a year, May Bank holiday and late August Bank holiday called "No Bull Just Beer and Bikes" at Penmaenau Farm,, Builth Wells, Wales. ( I have just posted on events). Quite simply...its bloody great.
Live Music, Bike Show etc. Free showers, and they are good, hot food and every half hour, "Tom the tractor" ride into Builth Wells and back.
The atmosphere is great, onsite and in Builth where, there is "The Fountain" (owned by the farm) and "The White Horse which both provide great live music and good food. Across the road is "The Lamb" which is nice and does good food too.
You are in beautiful countryside surrounded by brilliant roads. Last year, all this for £15 pre booked and £20 on the gate. The people are great and its just a fun and friendly weekend.
I have a group of non BM friends and over the last few years, this has become a "must do" for us.
Also, last year, on the same May Bank Holiday, Dragon events started up the "Welsh international Motorcycle Show" again, which was a well established and great event until the murder after the Bulldog, which spooked a few police forces into stopping Motorcycle events and the "welsh" became a victim.
We went last year and not surprisingly, it failed to live up to its former glory.
This year, it is being marketed as" Builth Fest 12". ( I posted this on events earlier too). The Showground is a great venue, lots of indoor stuff, Bike Show, Live Bands, Trade stalls etc. Brick toilet and shower blocks. Hopefully it will grow and become what it was. It's a brave venture especially as it clashed last year with "No Bull" which is literally, next door. Builth Fest, will be £10 for a day ticket and £30 for the weekend.
So there you have it, three cracking weekends for 2012 !. Sorry it's a long post, can't recommend "No Bull" highly enough and I hope Builth Fest takes off again. As for Builth Wells, it's just a fantastic place to go to and it really embraces us bikers, So, go on then......
