Much better to have a Buell Meet where something is going on....

Popham Mega Meet is a really good place to meet up....
At least there are different things to do.
In fact even without the Mega Meet there is still the Cafe an the Aircraft and usually a few bikes around.... Often used as a Bike Meeting place....
Yep, you are right and I am to blame for this clash...
When I put the calendar together last year, I asked CJ for a load of dates for events, we came up with a list. CJ himself said he would be doing less Buell eventing this year and hence to try and keep the social side of UKBEG alive I chose the same date for Sammy Miller's as last year.
The bottom line is that this has not worked. The event used to be used as a warm up for a BBQ at Mrs Peel's, which from the look of the thread is not happening. It also appears to clash with lots of other stuff, which is unfortunate.
I will be going to Sammy's, purely because it will be a good ride out, it is in the diary and it is a good opportunity to meet others who may drop in before heading off to Popham / B&Q / the mother-in-laws.
I would love others to organise events, or at least a place for people to meet with a date, but can this be done before the first week in December to enable me to get the calendars done and shipped out before Christmas? Better than allowing me to put the calendar together with events on then telling me the day before that the event on the calendar has run its course...
I still love you though MadRat
