right folks next years event needs planning do you guys have any comments to make to make next years betterer than ever
i think
1 to get the night run in the birty team should organise the pizza run ........i reckon orders in by 530 for a 600pm order would see it delivered and eat for 8 in time for the run
2 catering we are wondering about an attempt at a butty burger stand/van 2013 might be a practice for the 2014 10th aniversary
3 planning ahead can we justify 3 days for the 10 aniversary ?? plus properly invite other clubs ?
4 the fire next year we need more dry pallet wood so a plan for that needs forming................. the drag ins burnt fairly slow and were not overly warm and hence not as welcoming
5 fire works i think they are a good bit of fun .......... a bit of planning i think
all comments are welcome good and bad we cant improve without input from you
-
I think that sounds like a good idea for the night run.
I wouldnt be fussed about catering but I would imagine others would use it.
3 days for the anniversary sounds really good to me. the extra time would give a good chance to run a few more of the little comps ie trials, punch hunt and maybe a few other bits
I brought the stack of pallets that got launched on, on sat night and im happy to bring some again next year but can only fit so much on. If others did the same we would be fine I think
Not sure how it would work but some kind of firework fund for us all to chip into maybe?
For me this years cheapfest was one of the best off road weekend aways I have ever had.
My only complaing was the barking dog on friday night (all night) but thats well out of birty's hands.
Also if you could book the same weather again next year as driving round with no doors and not getting rained on rules.
I sadly couldnt make it any earlier than I did on friday but i future I would happily get there and lend a helping hand to get things set up

I think what you've mentioned is spot on. With a bit of planning I could sort out some firewood too but there's a limit even with a trailer.
Maybe bring 1 or 2 fireworks each? With how many people came that would be quite a display.
A definite schedule for eating and driving a night run is probably a good idea.
Getting a date set and advertised early is always a good thing for any event.
3 or even 4 days for an anniversary is a good idea, even if some come for 1/2/3 of those days.
Maybe a posing RTI ramp, crazy mud-run, club BBQ, set time to meet up for a go at a trial section (maybe limit numbers and have more than one session), similar stuff to get people together and photo moments??

:iagree:
i tried to bring some wood, but couldn't find anywhere to put it :003:
-
First time I've made it for the Friday afternoon, and can say it made for a relaxing W/E With time to chill before Saturday metal thrash.... :icon_super: :king:
so Yes three day event yes yes yes
also agree with posted times for trials and tricky hills :icon_biggrin: etc for easier to gather photo ops......
-
the wood issue i have a bit of an idea my work gets a lot of skids and blocks in with the scrap metal i think i can bring at least one sankey trailer load on the thurs night
-
Like the sound of dedicated challenges, trials & the like. Even if not taking part, spectating watching the more modified trucks having a go would be good photo opportunities & gatherings at certain places & something maybe for the standard vehicles / 1 st timers.
:icon_super:

I had a great weekend this year and to top it next year would be a big ask
I'm sure that people could bring at least one firework with them as they are sold in plenty of places
I would'nt bother with a burger van
If the logs dragged in were cut and split they would burn better, pallets are fine but burn to fast so a mix of both. I would happily bring a chain saw and axe
Maybe a prise of a free entry to a birty,s event for the person who gets the most punch,s combined with the lowest trials score
And just great weather again please

The punch and trials activity, without each punch/gate being attended by a Marshal. Would encourage a lot of potential problems, people's competitive spirit to win can raise its head. Thus rules and regulations have to be upheld etc. That's why the punches and trials have always been a way to get people off the standard tracks. With bragging rights to ya mates being the prize.
Proof of that is the punch locations every year get moved from where they started out :icon_rolleyes: :hysterical:
Just my thoughts on this one.
Still doable but could make the activities a little anal :icon_winkle:
-
For the 10th Birthday Bash if the site was booked early enough could we get the August Bank Hoilday for the 3 day event just thinking about school for the ones who attend.
-
night run and fireworks is a must but we will have to close the site a bit earlier so we can get sorted. Bring a firework maybe an option.
Our PLI does not allow us to be competitive so cannot give no prizes, strickly for fun guys :icon_winkle:
-
How about on the saturday night we have a company supply a Hog Roast (big fuck off pig on a spit) so we dont have to faf about with cooking after a hard days talking bollox and taking the piss.
-
We could always do a big joint bbq, provided somewhere/someone to cook and folk bring there own stuff to put on. That means everyone eats at same sort of time.
I'm happy to build a trailable rti ramp to bring along (If no ones got one already). Been thinking about that doing anyway.
With more notice could have brought a trailer of wood along, will do next time.

Hog roasts cost alot of fluf you be looking at more than £500
-
Based on 40 people attending, it's £12 each and that would include all the bis that go with it, rolls, sauce.
-
Always fancied riding round Ribbo on my MTB, maybe an hour or so set aside for pushbikes and RC stuff only ??
-
get up early
-
Doubt I will be staying TBH, if I was I am adverse to early anyway.
-
I've always fancied he idea of letting the mountain bike loose on the site too.
There's a few routes down through the woods I'd love to have a bash at.
-
Have specs for a RTI ramp, i'll send to ya if you like Dave?
In the process of making a "Homebrew" hog roaster. Should be fine tuned by next summer.
Pigs are around £250 a carcass.
That and Donks smoker, could make for some tasty food.
A nice spicy marinade could be in order too :003:
-

well should be able to help out there next year, piggies are planned soon
-
we missed the bits auction and night drive too
3 days would be good, spit roast even better
maybe a treasure hunt for the nippers? or some kind of enroute quiz?
dog show/trials? there were enough of the buggers!
fancy dress competition
hi my name is and i drive a......lots of new faces would have been nice to know who was who

Sorry to be a doom monger but i go to offroading events cos i want to go offroading. If i wanted to go clay pigeon shooting i'd go clay pigeon shooting event
-
Given the choice I'd Froad for the day and shoot for a few hours while dinner is being cooked.

here's an idea for your fire wood. club together an order half tone or 1 ton load and have it delivered at the site , i did this last Xmas at a farm in Suffolk for a offroad weekend . we had wood for fire Friday night /Saturday ev BBQ and a large fire for the night :icon_super: :wsmile:

Great idea, and since someone sells logs from on the site we would not have to go far

Burn enough wood early dig your self a 3x3x2 foot deep get half a lamb or large top side of beef ,place a load Of hot embers in the bottom foil up your beef place in hole. Pack with more embers cover with turf you removed from hole. And you have a ground roast. The hole acts like an oven if you set it right.

I think Donk should be in charge of that
