Although it will mean that this event and the LEO will be very close together, if I can get enough definite entrants for both, I will confirm the July dates for MOT-UK.

Views please.

Posted on the other board.

Anyway, it's all over to YOU now. I will arrange it, but you must decide and commit. (.... and I don't want a huge rush when you read the write up on this years LEO Run :wink: :lol: )

Ooops I'm missing a bit. Commit to ?

Dates? I thought you need to know the National Rally date first.

Am I missing something?

Do you want suggestions for place for 'Base Camp' ?

What facilities do folk want? Stream to bathe in with a waterfall.........?

:wink:

Wild animals grunting around the tents at night.

'The Greyhound has cramp' comes to mind!

We were in Roger's tent at the National, one evening, when a voice outside said loudly 'The greyhound has cramp'. We laughed so much as it sounded like some coded warning!

I personally wouldn't want to be in a really commercialised noisy camp site.

Something a bit natural if possible with the 'en - suite' facilities not too far away??

Just my humble opinions.....

Commit to going on it :roll: :wink:

As I understand it, the National will possibly be the last weekend in June.

As for the other 'questions' perhaps others would like to add their comments (if we don't get organised soon there wont be any campsite :roll: )

Those that have shown an interest so far are.

Where are all the girls?

And why am I not on the list? :cry:

I'm browsing the camp sites on the coast etc but don't know what folk would like.

I would like:
Good company ... ticked
Natural area.
Facilities not too far away .
Some activities eg walking, pony trekking, days out etc.
Would love to be by the sea if possible or some kind of water......
Not a really noisey commercial site.

Maybe folk can express their needs / wishes.

Or state what they would not like, to narrow it down?

Shame places get booked up so early.

Could we please make it later in the year - but not immediately after the National. That gives people a chance to do both MOT's! (and to recover from the National. :D

personally i think its better to run before or after the natioal, as many will be there anyway and we can go on from the national or to the national in a group :D :D possibly saving a bit of fuel as well for many , depending on where the national is :D :D

This year if I am to organise and run this new event, and include my wife Lesley, which naturally goes without saying, then the dates are limited. No problem next year though :D

Hi, I'll have to check but I think July might be the better option for me as I may be in the middle of my exams on the May date.

Yep, just checked and my exams are all late May and early June so I certainly won't be able to do one in May.
July for me please.
