    have to be prissy and say that I won't share with anyone... so wouldn't do a barn thingie. Would do tents. if that rules me out then please ignore my post.
    Happy with anytime as long as I can get the time off work. Anywhere is accessible. Everywhere is a bike ride away after all.

    Hi Tallulah, great have to your interest in this get-together. Re the accommodation side of things, the majority of people seem to be voting (http://www.thetriumphforum.co.uk/threads/re-grand-forum-get-together-style-of-accomodation.5158/) for Bnb rooms although a significant number, including myself would happily camp as well.

    From previous experience the best get-togethers I've been to are were all participants stay at the same place and share evenings of good chat. So this means a place which can provide BnB rooms plus camping grounds, with food and drink either at or near the "base camp".

    I think were are getting there guys'n girls.

    UPDATE:

    The way things are currently standing is this:

    When? Mid-week seems to be the favorite - the month seems pretty evenly split.

    Where? Peak District (Bakewell is the front runner) - place that can provide BnB as well as camping.

    If everyone on the list can manage to get together at the same time we should have a rare old jamboree !! Here's hoping.....

    OK so here's the proposal:

    Triumph Forum Grand Get-together 2016 - takes place on the Tues 7th June to Friday 10th June i.e. 3 nights away; centred on Buxton in the Peak District.

    Distractions will include ride-outs, eat-outs, drink-outs and lots of fun and frollicks for ageing bikers.

    Accommodation in Buxton in terms of BnB is plentiful if booked early enough.

    Discuss.........................................
