We're in Mablethorpe this coming weekend - as per
this topic.Sunday's RAF Hendon meet was shown on Nick's UKBEG calendar so I copied it into this forums 2013 Events Diary. Our last involvement with this particular event was March 2011.
If you're into all things aviation and never been before you'll certainly enjoy a visit - it's a brilliant place.
RAF Hendon replaced Brooklands as UKBEG's Spring London area meet about 4 or 5 years ago. Brooklands was an ideal location and proved very successful with lots of interest and large numbers of Buells attending. I think we reached 60+ Buells on one occasion.
We made the change to RAF Hendon because in addition to ever increasing admission fees Brooklands introduced a strict Health & Safety policy which meant Jane and I had to complete risk assessment forms and pay a £100 deposit upfront against the event being cancelled etc. We were willing to do this for a couple of years but eventually we came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the risk. RAF Hendon offers free admission to the museum but charges for car parking*. When we last organised a UKBEG meet there in 2011 they tried to insist that we pay the same fee to park our motorcycles. In the end common sense prevailed and they let us park in a separate area free of charge.
* 0-3 Hours - £2.50 per car. 3-6 Hours - £3.50 per car.
