A COUPLE OF POSSIBILITIES FOR NEXT YEAR

(THIS COULD BE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE TAL Y LLYN RUN WE USED TO DO.... ONLY 4 MILES FROM THE PUB WE USED TO CAMP AT!)

I would like to introduce to your organisation a Biker friendly Bunkhouse and Inn situated on the main A487 in Mid Wales at the village of Corris between Dolgellau and Machynlleth

We are a 26 bed ( in 6 rooms ) self catering accommodation with a public bar which regularly serves local cask ales. We regularly have live music too.

For more information regarding our Accommodation and Bar please go to www.braichgoch.co.uk

We also host the Corris Music and Beer festivals held in September and February of each year.

Many thanks for your time

THIS WAS SENT TO WIL ....... MAYBE AN IDEA FOR NEXT YEAR.

J the B's

Our 'regular' Biking Weekends have proved popular again this year, such that we've been asked by several clubs and groups if it would be possible to stay longer, perhaps up to a Full Week? The short answer is an emphatic 'YES'!

So, for 2010, we're now offering a full 'Biking Week' here at JtheB's: ideal for clubs or groups of ten or more. We put together a comprehensive itinerary to suit your group: we can organise Runs Out to specific places throughout the week including the many 'D-Day' sites, organise a karting session, take you to some of the best restaurants in the area, or even take you bungee jumping! We'll take you out on some of the very best roads you'll ever ride, many of which consist of a series of sweeping bends which we guarantee will prove both challenging and hugely enjoyable to both novice and expert alike! There are many fabulous places to visit in the region and we're very happy to tailor our routes and itineraries to suit your club's wishes. Or course, some or all of your group may prefer to include some 'Run Free' days: perhaps slacking around the pool all day? It's your choice: just let us know what your idea of a Perfect Biking Holiday would be and we'll put it together for you!

We're based at a converted farmhouse (with secure overnight parking for bikes) with space for up to twenty riders (a small number of extra beds as well as some space for camping may also be available) in a small hamlet in the beautiful Normandy countryside. As well as your accommodation, we lay on a fabulous four course meal for you every night as well as supply all your drinks (alcoholic or otherwise!) at no extra charge and there's always something going on every evening! We're very easy to find, and less than 90 minutes from two of the main Cross Channel ferry ports.

Why not mail us, Paul & Sandra Minton at
or call us on 07 772 518 948 and ask us what we can do for your group?
Alternatively, for more detailed information, go to our very comprehensive website at
. Hope to meet you sometime!

HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM BEANO.

Hi Mel,

As it’s TDMCC’s 30^th next year, I’m looking at getting a load of photo’s of past & present club members put onto a CD & then Craig can play them on a screen above the stage at the rally.

So I guess if anyone has any (jpeg format) can they send to my email address

Cheers

Beano
