Afternoon Gentlemen,

Unfortunately I’ve had no response from James, in his absence assuming no-one objects or has a burning desire to pull the ride together I’ll try and pull this event together into some sort of tangible entity. As is always the case we won’t be able to please all of the people all of the time but I’ll try and do this as democratically as possible.

I appreciate some people may be traveling a reasonable distance so I’m going to include an option for an overnight stop and a short ride the following day before people set off home.

I’ve listed the locations mentioned in the other thread and also added Ashbourne if you could put you name against your preferance(s) by copying the list and any replies/notes to date I’ll have a count up at the end of the first week in May.

Locations.

Stratford Upon Avon

London

Bromsgrove

York

New Forest

Knutsford

Stoke on Trent

Ashbourne


Dates.

June

July

August

September


Number of Days.

One

Sorry. How does one copy?


In presence of the IT specialists, I shall embarrass myself by answering the only way I know:


LOCATION:

Stratford Upon Avon.


DATES:

Providing no shoots arranged, anytime.


NUMBER OF DAYS:

Many.


COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS?

I’m sure a little press coverage from the local Stratford paper, radio etc could

be arranged as this will be the first ever event for the bicycle range made in their

home town. Just seems right, really.

Anywhere is fine by me.

September is my only option.

One or two days, don’t mind.

Evening Gentlemen,

A bit of tidying up to do.

Rest assured Mr. Wheeler this is very much a leisurely spin we shall be setting off en mass and returning in the same manner.

I’m basing this on an attrition rate of 10 — 20 per cent allowing for wrong directions, missed turnings, a pint too many for lunch etc.

Regards,

Adam

Evening Gentlemen,

And the results are in:

Location:

An emphatic decision for; Stratford — On — Avon

Dates:

A little less decisive this one; 13th — 14th August. My sincere apologise to Mr. Morse for making this decision.

Number of Days:

Two, but obviously anyone is more than welcome to come for just one day.


And now for the devil: http://www.guvnorownersclub.co.….ts-are-in/

Dear Adam,


No apology necessary. Whilst I’m obviously disappointed at not being able to come along, I admire you enormously for taking on the rather complicated organisation of, what I’m sure will be, a delightful event. I very much hope that all goes well and that everybody enjoys the momentous weekend.


Cheers!

I concur, Mr MGcC… Mr Morse deserves the highest accolade afforded by the GOC. Commiserations, good Sir… I do hope we shall meet up at a future Guvnor event.


Kind regards,


Martin
