Rude not to Dave. The exact reason Russ is uming & arering about staying, fears drunken track antics are not good, lol.

Rich, you on ya own or got company? If solo maybe speak to Russ, cheap accommodation then.

Russ, don't ask me about signing on, am always late. Work on the basis 7.30-8.00 & you'll be fine.

Can't wait me, like a kid at Christmas!

'Kin ell just typed a big long reply to this and it disappeared when I hit "submit" !! :banghead

Try again eh.

I'm solo so booked into a single room for the thurs and fri. But Russ if ya wanna share and save some dough, give me some notice like and I'll try and get it changed for a twin.

And as for the ale, I gotta tell ya I'm concerned what state I'll be in on fri mornin. Best hit the bar early so we got plenty of time to sleep it of !!! :cheers
 
cheers Richie

I dunno my travel plans yet. i thought it was a bit closer to me but google maps is showing 2 and 1/2 hours, which'd mean a 5am start for me, not ideal. I'll give it some thought
 
Right,

After 8 years with my current employer I have handed my notice in today as I start a new venture running my own Media Agency next month. Not sure if they will be keeping me on to work my months notice period yet or not, if not I will lose access to a phone & laptop for the duration of this week.

So, if I don't appear on here again before Friday, here's to a great day for a great cause, thanks again for all your support, I couldn't have put this in place without you.

For those staying at the Breckland Lodge (or those planning on stopping off for a drink or two) I will see you Thursday night. For those camping at the circuit or arriving on the day I will see you at the track early doors Friday morning!

Robbo.
 
This event is now being held on Friday 19th August 2011

Following on from my recent posts, the riders4research event originally planned for Thursday 18th August has now been moved to Friday 19th August 2011. The option to move the date became available & we felt the Friday may encourage more riders to want to take part. People will need to take less time of work to attend if travelling from a far & will have plenty of time to recover being the weekend will follow. Those already booked do not need to do anything, your future correspondence will show the new date, all you need to do is turn up on the right day!

Snetterton 300 Circuit
3 groups. Novice, Intermediate & Advanced
Only £115 per rider


All profits raised from this event go to Cancer Research UK. To book your space click here:

Brief reason why:

6 years ago at the age of 24 I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer to my neck & nose. Had to endure a tough course of chemotherapy & radiotherapy which made me rather ill at the time & was a bit close to the dark side for my liking. As the consultant said, we have a problem & need to act fast, it’s all or nothing I’m afraid. At the time, getting out of bed was a struggle let alone the thought of throwing my leg over a bike again. Anyway 6 years later I’m still here, got a wonderful family behind me & am riding bikes again.

The hardest part for me over the last 6 years apart fighting this disease myself, was losing my mum on 30th November last year at the age of 56 after a 7 year battle with ****** cancer. She was the bravest person I knew, unless you knew, you’d of never have guessed she was ill & she fought till the bitter end. I’d like to think she, along with my dad made me the man I am today.

I’ve been running riders4research events raising money for Cancer Research UK in the on & off-road world for the last few years, but for obvious reasons this year’s event means a little more to me. It’s something I organise by myself in my spare time for fun. Don’t make a penny out of it, it’s just my way of thanking & giving a little something back to those that helped me & tried to help my mum. It’s not going to change the world or find a cure for this awful disease but hopefully the money we raise can then go on to help others now & in the future.

Cheers, Robbo :thumbup

Keep us in the loop for next event / year.
 
Cheers lads :thumbup

Yes, with 3 mouths to feed excluding the wife & I, plus costs to keep a roof over our heads I'm taking a risk on the new venture but got every confidence I can pull it off. Been effectively doing what I'm going to do by myself over the last 8 years anyway. Just going to do it bigger & better than my current employer, if things go wrong only got myself to blame & at least I can do something about it, unlike all the corporate bollox involved with larger companies!

Anyway, back on track. Need 120 riders in total to make the day worthwhile, at last check we have 109 so need 11 more riders from somewhere?

As mentioned before, plenty of track time for all, great track, great company, great cause. If waiting to see the weather forecast before booking is putting you off, don't let it http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=NR16 2JU&day=2

See you all Friday, whoop whoop. Robbo.
