THE NEW DATE IS NOW 14TH  AND 15TH JULY 2017.

So adjust your plans/diaries and change you sock drawer sorting or hair washing regimes accordingly 

We are staying at this venue, which is easily accessible  from  the A1

Rooms are as follows

There are 9 rooms in total of which 6 are doubles, two are twins and one room (6)  can be arranged as either double or twin

Four of the rooms including room 6 are designated as superior rooms and as such they offer King size or super King size beds

There are also a couple of over spill properties in the village which are a very short walk away from the main hotel and they provide an additional four rooms, they are located in high standard properties where guests would take their breakfast if desired, the rates for these rooms is the same as the standard rooms in the hotel and bookable and payable through the hotel.

All hotel prices quoted include a full breakfast as follows......

Double rooms 160 -180 per room for two nights
Twin room (shared) 130 - 160 per room for two nights

You are responsible for your own bookings, so first come will be first served....... When booking quote "Kawasaki GTR meeting"

An extra 'laundry charge' will be applied if you only stay one night.

Gill and I sampled the hospitality of the Castle last night and the food drink is very very good.

The Castle hotel is situated in a truly stunning part of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales where biking roads are a well known joy to behold, there are some beautiful towns to visit on a ride out and lots of other attractions to see and visit....see the links below for some ideas

Why Yorkshire. Should it not be a bit more central? Am in California at mo although not central would be an excellent location.

Thanks OC, it's in the Diary.....a group of us are in Bedale as from tomorrow 24th June until Monday morning 27th June. You would be welcome to join us on our ride outs Saturday or Sunday....or both days if you wish  .
We have used this accommodation for the last 3 years, it is self catering, but a great pub just a walk down the road for evening meals and a few pints. One of the local members buys in our booze and food so we eat in the pub on Friday night and BBQ on site on Saturday and Sunday Evening, you and Gill would also be welcome to join us at one of the BBQ's.

My mobile in case you want to make contact: 07901 558039...Syd.

Hope to see you

There is talk on my team at work of a "Spanish Week" in June next year .... But of course I shall pencil you in and tell them to choose another date !!  . Thank you in advance for organising this .. I have no doubt it will cause you trouble !!!

[O.C.]

thanks all.

Syd I will ring you

[Charlie farley]

The date for our meeting looks like it may have to change to the following weekend, 16th & 17th June

The reason is that I am struggling, even at this relatively early stage, to find a suitable and affordable venue/accommodation, by suitable I mean offering the type of facility that we need and expect. by affordable I mean not paying upwards of £90.00 per head per night. (Holiday areas do have a higher tariff)      

By moving to the following weekend I can secure a suitable and acceptable venue at a reasonable price.

I will be visiting this venue this weekend, I hope that it will be ok, it does come recommended by one of our members (iamkwackers) who has stayed there several times before so I'm confident that it will be ok, and I have spoken with Syd about it, I have also spoken to the owner.

So, leave it with me and if you don't mind please keep your diary dates open until I can confirm arrangements  thanks very mucho

You do realize, of course, that I've just made plans for early June....tickets, passports, luggage, wife....it all has to change now..

[BigAlan]

Yorkshire is spot on, great countryside to ride in and the company is good.

Sorted.
