Welcome to the forum
Ashwell Garage, club meeting area.
I have just spoken to Lee the owner of Ashwell Garage. He is fencing off and gateing the garage forecourt area. This is not an anti bike club move but because movement of cars and people on the forecourt area are setting off his alarms which are very necessary due to all the breakins he suffers.
We now need somewhere ealse to meet, any suggestions? I can offer my concrete pads but they get used during the year so we would have to be flexible, for instance they should be filled with Sugar Beet by next weekend. Also I know some of you dont like riding along Northfield road, something to do with mud on the road, not sure what that is about!!??!!
Village rec? Ashwell surgery (who knows any of the doctors)? Ashwell school?

However the reason we had to move from Geoff's was that we were and are a victim of our own success. We do now make quite a bit of noise and there are a lot of us. Whilst the Three Tuns might be happy the neighbours might think otherwise!
I think the surgery is probably the best bet as it's a distance from anybody else. Does anybody know any of them to ask?
Obviously this is up for discussion are there any other possible locations?
I'd have thought that the cemetery car park was too small but I'm prepared to be knocked!

for my part the Doctor's surgery has the most going for it,.......don't think we should rule out the three tuns either
Not in favour of pub car parks, not fair on the pubs to have non clients cars parked there. Also noise in the morning as already mentioned.
Cemetery would work if cars were parked elsewhere and could then be used anytime, Sat rides, Nasty boy Sat rides etc, where as the surgery could only ever be a Sunday meeting area.
In your last but one comment you state 'The club needs to make up its collective mind on the location first before bothering the doctors or nthe Parish Council', then you appear to have made a unilateral decision.
I realise the urgency for a short term solution but mid to long term location should be decided by the members/committee. I still feel that the cemetry is inadequate for large Sunday morning gatherings and other rides meet elsewhere or are sufficiently small to use the cemetry. This does need a broad based discussion.
All agree will met at CEMETRY this sunday
Gives a chance to ask about alternatives
and those not reading the forum will see the group
Please DO NOT park in the cemetry
We do not want to block this all Sunday morning
find a suitable location in the village etc
( another 400 yards on the 40 miles should not hurt too much )
Thanks for your support
