This Could Be Interesting.

Is this still happening chaps?

As you know I was not over-excited, but it's getting closer now and so far I have not had a better offer.

[O.C.]

It's looking less likely that I'll be able to join you all  ...many months of health issues mean that riding my bike is still not likely for me at the moment....additionally I have to attend hospital at some stage (I don't know exactly when) for back surgery.

I hope...no REALLY hope,  that I will be able to enjoy better health following the surgery..

I'll keep you updated.

Pete, yes it's definitely happening. I'm sorry to hear that you've not had a better offer, there's still time of course for a fair maiden from Sweden or elsewhere to seduce you but please feel free to join us if that doesn't happen. 

(I think Tony was contemplating attending too, I've dropped him a text).

Roger, no problems, I know you're itching to get out on the bike asap and would attend if you could.

At the time of writing this it appears I may not be able to attend as of the 24th of April we have a major rota and duty change which may result in industrial action work to rule or strike 🤬🤬 so unless I'm on strike it now looks unlikely which I am gutted about enjoy the meet up and stay safe 👌

You're absolutely right Steve, for the benefit of other's Steve and I are in regular contact so he knows just how desperate I am to get back on my bike, but not until I'm able to, I've  been waiting for 8 months now and am now getting really p*ssed off......

Patience is a virtue they say

I have booked a slot at the NA for midday on the 2nd, there is no charge for visitors attending on m/cycles, it seems only car drivers get penalised, (such a shame). Once arrived you can stay as long as you wish although they do close at 5pm. 

The Premier Inn is only 10 minutes away. 

I have rung the Staffordshire Regiment Museum, no pre-booking required there although there is a £6 admission fee. 

If you are considering attending, please let us know and then we'll look out for you.

Very much looking forward to this. It will be an enjoyable couple of days. Nice easy pace to the day with lots of catch up and chat 

[Rynglieder]

At the moment I'm still minded to attend subject to being in control of some current health issues, I'll see how I progress over this weekend with view to what will probably be a last minute decision.

My intent would be to catch up with you at the NMA at 12:00 and then take a steady walk round and grab a coffee and have a catch-up if that works for you.

I'll make my way home mid-afternoon, an overnight stay is not really viable so close to home.

I'm disappointed for you that it is not coming together as quickly as you hoped.

Take it steady and all will come good...

Hopefully we will be able to pitch up another mini-meet or two during the year and perhaps you will be in a better position.

Thank you,  I'll do my best and I do remain optimistic. 

A diagnosis in around 2006/7 told me that I have Spinal Stenosis,  this condition has flared up quite badly since my hip replacement,  this condition isn't causal from the hip replacement but totally coincidental to it/

My neurosurgical  consultant  is confident  that he can offer me substantial help from Spinal surgery......all a bit scary but necessary

Pete, Nigel and I are planning on ditching the bike gear at our Premier Inn less than 2 miles away and then heading to the NMA on the bikes but in more practical walking clothes. Hopefully we will be at the NMA between 12:30 to 1300hrs. Feel free to give me a call or text if you make it to the event and then we can find each other hopefully.

Thanks for the update - I'm halfway through a course of steroids at the moment and life is feeling beetter, I managed a short run out on the Z1000 yesterday so It's highly probable that I'll be there.
I'll contact you when I arrive.
