Annual GSX Meet Ideas Here.

[Stolichnaya]

Matlock is nice - not sure whats there to do or a weekend things happen so we can join in??  anyone have any info

For me, i'd like to push for Santa Pod Top Fuel weekend next year.  Lots to do, lots to see, ready-made event and stacks of camping/B&Bs etc...
we could give it a try and if its not for everyone then whats to loose apart from getting a hang-over!! (and a headache from the Top Fuel cars)

ive been twice in the last 15 years and had a hoot both times. you can never prepare for the sound and smells...  its just crazy and ANYONE who likes a bit of Suck Squeeze Bang Blow will be in their element

It might be just me, but surely going to a car event to celebrate a bike seems odd.. I mean sure, arrange it for like minded people as a seperate event but for the anual club meet seems wrong. I for one wouldnt be interested, i mean its.... cars..

If you want to tag on to another event for the annual meet then choose a bike event.

Please have a look at the link i added with info on the event.  its bikes, of all kinds, top fuel bikes, cars..  its the main event of the year.  plus you can walk right round the paddock and stand next to these things and get involved..

100% not just cars.  Think of the pluses - great event, food, camping, loos, bars, music..  its all there
meeting at a pub somewhere just limits what you can do - why not make a weekend of it

So then. A drag strip, camping, bikes, bands, stuff to do right there - its seems obvious now I have thought of it - The Bulldog Bash 2018

Top Shout!!

so weve 3 maybe events we can look at!  Bulldog, Santa Pod, Matlock..  i wouldn't mind doing a different event each year!  mix it up a bit

Heck...  Groupon had Catalunya MotoGP on last year at £99 for 3 nites hotel AND 3 days track entry!! 
I went and had a hoot and it only cost me £300 and a sore ass!

Matlock is a great place to ride, loads of camp sites in and around and every Sunday is bike day!
Loads of attractions including cable cars,Castle, Bakewell tarts etc.
You could tie it in with an event at Donnigton which is only 30mins away!

See you there this year Seth?

Long Marston Airfield is being developed. Businesses have been told to vacate by November this year. They're hoping to create 3,500 houses on the site (400 approved so far). If the Bash is going to happen in 2018, it may have to relocate.

Yes mate. All being well. Meet you at the beer tent?

[Timothy Spencer]

Seems we can forget the Bulldog Bash then. Always meant to go again but never got around to it and can't go this year so its finished I reckon.

hi guys, there is a pub near me, its known as the MFN, or middle of feking nowhere.
its a pub set in 8 acres close to the M1 A 38, has regular car/bike nights.
its run by an ex shawaddy waddy member, lol maybee only us old uns will know who shawaddy waddy was. has regular weekend events with camping, live bands foods etc.
20 mins to matlock bath and the peak district.
have a look at their website
www.mfn-club.co.uk

[Stolichnaya]

Looks cool, beers too !!!

mind you "shawaddy waddy was" is a bit of a gob-full !!  try sayinn that after a skinfull !!

[seth]

it was called something else in the 80/early 90's but used to go there lots before i moved to Scotland.
they have themed weekends so might be worth asking about them hosting a gsx1400 weekend next summer 

[Stolichnaya]

Before asking the site it would be worth logging this as a new post maybe and asking for a heads up on who would make it.

As this has died a bit of a death there is little point asking the site and sorting and only a couple attend.

it does seem however that there isn't a deal of interest in an annual bash, which is a shame as there will be beer and food

what else does a dude need

We need to gauge interest as some of the guys on Facebook could (potentially) be interested who are not members here.
