CHAIRMAN'S WRITE-UP

WELL WHAT CAN I SAY?  MY FIRST YEAR AT THE HELM AND WHAT A NIGHT AND THAT WAS JUST THE FRIDAY, WE HAD MUSIC BY "MIND YER HEAD" AND THEN DJ SHAI KEEPING US ON THE FLOOR TO THE EARLY HOURS, SOME WERE STILL THERE AT 7 IN THE MORNING.

SATURDAY DAWNED WET AND WITH STILL SOME THINGS TO BE DONE A BREAKFAST SODA WAS FIRST ON THE LIST FROM TOMMY WHO WAS THERE FROM FRIDAY EVENING AND DOING A BRILLIANT JOB KEEPING EVERYONE FED AND HAVE TO SAY THE BURGERS WERE FIRST CLASS.  EARLY AFTERNOON AND BIKERS WERE STARTING TO ARRIVE (ALWAYS HELPS A RALLY THAT) SOME DRY, SOME WET AND SOME WETTER (WILLIE HAYES FROM STREETFIGHTERS DID A GREAT IMPRESSION OF THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS).  THE FIRST BAND GYPSY ROVERS WAS ON IN THE MAIN BAR FROM 4 -6 PLAYING TRADITIONAL MUSIC, FOLLOWED BY DJ SHAI.  MEANWHILE IN THE MARQUEE "MIND YER HEAD" WERE ONCE AGAIN BELTING OUT TUNES FROM 7 - 9.  BY NOW THE PLACE WAS FILLING UP AND THE SUN WAS SHINING, FX11 TOOK TO THE STAGE IN THE MAIN BAR FROM 9 -11 AND PROVED POPULAR AS THE DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED AND THE BIKERS WERE STILL SIGNING IN AND HAVING THEIR THROATS CLEARED WITH THE WELCOME SHOT!

FLASH HARRY (QUEEN TRIBUTE BAND) TOOK TO THE STAGE IN THE MARQUEE AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE THERE WASN'T EVEN STANDING SPACE, THEY BROUGHT THE PLACE ROUND THEM AND ARE A FANTASTIC CROWD PLEASER .............. THEY LEFT EVERYONE WANTING MORE.  "ROADHOUSE WERE KEEPING THE MAIN BAR DANCE FLOOR FILLED PROVIDING THE USUAL HIGH QUALITY WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM THEM.  THEN IT WAS ONCE AGAIN LEFT TO DJ SHAI TO KEEP THE CROWD HAPPY AND HE CAN DO THAT FOR HOURS, THEY PARTIED TO THEY DROPPED, LITERALLY IN SOME CASES, AND HE LOST HIS VOICE...........WELL SPENT MONEY BOOKING THAT DJ YEAR AFTER YEAR. 

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE CLUBS, INDIVIDUALS, HENNING FROM NORWAY, NICHOLAS FROM FRANKFURT AND THE TRACHOPS MC FROM BERLIN FOR MAKING IT A SPECIAL WEEKEND FOR US.  THE ATMOSPHERE WAS BRILLIANT, THE CRAIC FANTASTIC AND WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER CROWD OF PEOPLE AND IT IS THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT WE CAN DO THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR , SAME TIME, SAME PLACE AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE YOU ALONG THE ROAD AND AT YOUR RALLIES AND ROCK NITES RETURNING THE SUPPORT THAT IS GIVEN TO US YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!

RIDE SAFE
