Gmu 2018 Wales - Banter Thread

Going to pull out of this as I am now from Saturday a non triumph owner I do not want to go to rallies/meets if I haven't got a triumph so hope you all have a good time.

 

Is it your choice or feel you have to?

 

Yes thanks but I would be a hypocrite because it annoys me when I used to go out with my local triumph club and there would be a Harley,honda and a bmw,i am getting a Yamaha MT10 [a naked R1]

 

No worries on that score Gaz you wont be a hypocrite at all, there will be some coming by car etc, its a meet up of like minded guys who like to talk bikes and have a damn good time, don't worry marra you'll have a lot more than the fact you don't have a Triumph to annoy you, especially when your sharing a room with eight other farting/snoring drunk blokes.
If its any where near as good as the last one then you shouldn't miss it if you can help it marra.

 

I can't figure out how to copy and paste on my tablet,could someone add me as booked for Wales.Im staying at Mount inn and have booked for 3 nights with myself and herself coming.Cheers bit of a techno fobe...

 

Just an update on registration numbers.

We have 7 people registered to stay in the Bunkhouse and 14 registered in hotels. So 21 in total so far.

Not bad considering the GMU does not take place until July next year. So it could be a record year.

A word of caution. The Bunkhouse needs 20 people staying in it to guarantee sole occupancy. Still plenty of time to book but we do need 20 by the new year to be sure. So if your thinking of going please book sooner rather than later.

Is it looking unlikely that we'll have sole occupancy? How many did you total last year?

 

I think there was about 28 in total with 16 or so in the Bunkhouse. So we only need 4 more than last year for the Bunkhouse. Still early days, some will not know when they can book holiday yet.

 

Yes, I agree. We have until Jan to get up to 20. They may extend that date further if we are well on the way. If not then I think your idea is a good plan B. So let’s see where we are after I’ve called them in Jan.

 

Just booked into the Mount Inn for Saturday night only as I don't arrive home from the IOM until the Friday. Will be there for 7days at the Southern 100 road races. Will ride down to Llanidloes early Saturday morning and meet up with you guys for Saturdays rideout and a meal and a few beers in the evening

*Rang the Trewythen hotel and they only had a quad room available and the Unicorn was fully booked.

 

Why are there 2 people in one bunkhouse and 2 in the other? Something happen this year that we dont know about??

 

The extra hotelier numbers are of 1st time GMU visitors and I must say they appear to be courteous gentle folk so should fit in well with the rest of us hoteliers

Maybe the 1st 3 who booked to stay at the bunkhouse have frightened the usual bunkhouse ruffians away

 

Could you move the Banter to the Banter thread please so we keep this one as just an Accomodation list.

 

And in any case we'll sell enough rooms by July, I'm sure.

 

Sorry, unable to attend GMU, a lifelong friend has just dropped off a wedding invitation to his wedding, Sat 14th July. Have paid my deposit for the accommodation, so just put that into the coffers for the bunk house. I know it's only £12, but every little helps. Not doing very well with Tour dates at the moment Hopefuly see you all in 2019

 

Sorry unable to attend GMU, a lifelong friend has just dropped off his wedding invitation for Sat 14th July. Donate my deposit to the bunkhouse fund. Hopefully see you all 2019

 

some people are so incosiderate, and cheap, he could have posted it, then you could have said you never got it

 

No, hand delivered, face to face! Perhaps no one else is going
