*********

Would there be any interest on a mini meet located around Newark / Lincoln area? Just drinks or food somewhere and spend an afternoon with likeminded people.

After 2 years of pandemic, I long to get back on the road…. although I nearly had a heart attack when provided quotes to ship or fly our 2 bikes somewhere in Africa.

Lincoln / Newark mini meet? ( UK )
 

Yeah, I’d be up for that

I’m in Morocco first half of May.

Funily enough, I'm in Lincoln near the end of May :innocent: First time in the UK for 3 years

I am away in May but would like to see that part of the country anytime after.

Great idea Maria, :clap:

please keep me posted, if this happens I'll send a note to everyone previous HUBB UK that it's a MINI-MEET.

That sounds like a good run out from Derbyshire.

Well it looks like we have a bit of interest!

Let’s meet on Saturday 4th of June. For those who cannot make it, if there is more interest I can organise another mini meet later in the year.

I will look at venues. I am still fairly new to Lincolnshire. I have a couple of places in mind with ample parking for admiring the bikes, but I need to visit them before.

As I said, the last 2 years feel like I have been living in a hole. On the plus side I got better at killing dragons and monsters in the Xbox!

Interested
You have a PM

Hi Maria
Sorry I’m having trouble sending PMs - I will try again tomorrow
Cheers

For some reason I can’t seem to send you a PM.
Anyway, definitely interested just hope the dates work out. We live in the area and are planning a big trip later in the year.
We know a lady that has a bike shop and is in the process of opening a cafe. She has ridden around South America so it will be adventure riding themed - will make a great venue, we will contact her to see if she is opening the cafe soon.

If you need any help with research or just want some company on a ride out let me know.

I'd certainly have been interested and it would have been a good trial run for my summer plans in Aug - after a couple of years of doing very little you end up forgetting what stuff you need to take. Unfortunately I'm going to be in Sweden for a couple of weeks in early June so can't make it. If it works out and there's another one in the autumn I'd be interested in that.

Venue details
 

Hi everyone,
Find below details of the venue.

mini meet: Saturday 4th June - from, say 2pm onwards?

Venue: Fox and Hounds, North Hykeham, Lincoln LN6 9SP

The pub is biker friendly and some motorcycle clubs meet there regularly. Large private parking for the bikes and the menu looks nice and reasonably priced.

Hope you can make it, if not maybe next time

Sounds perfect. I shall bring tales of Morocco in May!



Rachel

I've waited YEARS for another HU mini meet. Brava for arranging it.


However, I'm already at another meeting that weekend. DRAT !!! doh


Next time !

Next time Ted, next time. It will be good to catch up a bit, it has been a long time!

Hi guys,

I did not realised, when I set the date, that our meeting is over the Queen Jubilee and the June bank holiday weekend! Doh!
Anyway, I hope you guys are still coming? If not, let me know and we can reschedule.

Thanks,

I will be there - however as it is a bank holiday we can expect rain and storms.

I’ll be there

I will be interested to hear about your recent trip to Morocco! :D

Looking forward to tomorrow.

As it is a small gathering please don’t turn up hours late. We will be there from 2 pm.
If you are running very late send me a quick message at
Maria ‘at’ franglais-riders ‘dot’ com. Or PM.
Weather should be dry :D

Cheers,

Thank you [mention]maria41 [/mention] for organising a lovely meet-up today!

Good to meet a surprisingly large crowd of like minded people!

Hi Rachel, it was great to meet you! Thank you so much to come up to us. It is quite a ride for you. I was also surprised at how many people turned up. Especially considering the long bank holiday weekend.
Definitely doing this again soon before Amanda and Dermot ( ? sorry not sure of spelling ) start their trip.
As usual lots of very interesting people, and so much great information from everybody ( I definitely will try the ferry from Barcelona to Tangiers!).

Thanks all for coming xxx

Maria

I'm looking forward to seeing a few photos! :)
Great to hear it went well, well done Maria, and thanks for organizing!

Maria - many thanks for organising this - I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the best for the imminent trip.

It was the first time I have met anyone on the HUBB so it was the first time I have had to talk with people about riding abroad without the feeling “I can see it in their eyes, they think I’m losing the plot”. It was good to be able to put names to faces and to meet you all.

Thanks again.
