2017 Annual Thumper Rally
« on: October 06, 2016, 12:49:40 PM »
So, next years annual rally will be at the excellent Foxholes Campsite at Bishops Castle, Shropshire. I have spoken with Chris and Wendy who are more than pleased to host us, and are bike friendly. The dates will be the weekend of 10th June 2017. The campsite has four camping fields, cabins for rent, and a bunkhouse, and is a short walk across a field from the main street of the town, which has at least six pubs, including two breweries. On the Saturday evening we will have a meal together in the Six Bells Pub/Brewery, which although compact and bijou, has assured me they can cater for up to thirty hungry Thumpeteers. There is excellent scope for a rideout on the Saturday, taking in the Shropshire hills and into Wales. I hope this meets with everyone's approval  :)
Namaste

Love too, but have no idea of shifts that far ahead (don't even know about November yet).

Fingers crossed.

Few more details, camping is £8 pppn, and if we can all book online or by phone individually, so they have a rough idea how many. Also, please state that your booking is with the Thumper Club  :)

Oops! I appear to have made a large c@@@ up over the date for our annual rally. I am having to change the date to weekend of 3rd of June, which is a week earlier. I hope this doesn't muck things up too much for anyone  :-\
This now means it clashes with the TT, but I don't think many of us would be going to that anyway.
