North Colchester meet up?
Hi Folks
I've found a nice pub called the Thatchers Arms @ Mount Bures, Essex C08 5AT(01787 227460 - www.thatchersarms.co.uk) that's got a lovely
car park, just waiting for a Kit Car meet, oh and the beer and food are good too. 
So does anyone fancy meeting up one evening, now that the nights are getting longer and the weather is also good (just wait the rain will start
now).
I propose Friday the 30th @ 6.30pm onwards ???

Sounds good, might be able to make it for a hour or so (The girls have girls brigade and need picking up at 8:30)
Hopefully Ketchup will have his plates by then as well

Sounds good - but I may have to leave early for an appointment at my local drinking establishment later in the evening!

BTW: How did any place in Essex get called Mount Bures?! The place is as flat as a pancake!

Well this pubs on top of a small hill with a great view of the Colne valley.
Oh and I may be @ Gt Bentley on this coming Wednesday evening if the weather is good too. If anyone else fancies another run out. Plenty of bikes
there too I suspect.

What's happening at Gt Bentley? Is it some sort of social gathering?
Might be worth a run out there, if I've got enough fuel in the tank...

Just noticed that I hadn't turned the calendar over... Doh...
See you on the 27th then!!!
Yes Wednesdays @ Gt Bently is for Bikers mainly but there are a few kits up there from time to time, well a least 3 Velocity's.

Well, I was there, plus a few hundred bikes, and one other seven - a purple & silver Vortex. Where were you? (only teasing...)
There was a police car there as well, handing out at least one ticket to a biker, and booking the owner of the hot-dog wagon... I guess this event
must be a police magnet.
For anyone else who fancies going there - it starts early (around 6-ish, apparently) and everyone seemed to be leaving around 8-ish). I got there late
- about 7:30 - and many people were leaving.
It was a very good ride out though; nice roads for sevens in that area.

Careful with the place names! I live in Bentley - Suffolk. Essex has Great Bentley, which has the bike meet, and Little Bentley, which
doesn't.
I shall try and get back to Gt Bentley sometime soon, but next time I'll get there earlier.
I met Mick, but he had to leave shortly after I arrived as his young lad was getting cold in the evening chill.
Not a good idea to speed in the surrounding lanes though...

Also:
Is the gathering still on for this coming Friday?
It's a nice run for me, but a bit boring if no-one else turns up...

If the weathers good, I'll take a drive up. I assume your all still talking about the Thatchers Arms.
