2017 - north west

[Lakelad]

With the car parked up for the winter and the nights closing in I am starting to look forward to 2017!

Added to this colleagues at work are starting to book holidays for 2017 and so I have started looking at my calendar.

By this time last year we had fixed up the dates for this years programme of events and so I thought I would draw up a list of proposed North West dates for 2017 so at least we have a starting point. Obviously this is only a suggestions and we need to find folk to organise the different runs and events and we need a NW organiser to step forward but this might be a helpful starting point.

Based on a like for like programme of what we have done for the last few years here is only a suggestion of dates for 2017.

March – Sunday 19th - Lake District Run (Graham)

April – Sunday 23rd - North Wales Run

May – Sunday 21st - Peak District Run (Gary)

June – Saturday and Sunday 3rd & 4th - Classic Car Show Tatton Park (Bill M)

July – Sunday 2nd - North Pennines Run (Graham)

July - Silverstone Classic – 28th - 30th (Tom M - National Event)

August – Saturday and Sunday 19th & 20th - Classic Car Show Tatton Park (Bill M)

September – Sunday 17th - The Great Yorkshire Run (Anthony)

October – Sunday 29th - Blackpool Illuminations (Graham)

So with nothing set in stone, feel fee to input with suggestions and comments and lets see if we can start to work out a programme of events to look forward to in 2017!

Thanks for this Graham. I'll pencil these dates onto our calendar. I'm happy to confirm that the Yorkshire Run on Sept 16th is a date that suits me and I'll lead that run again. The route will be the same as this year, with the addition of the 'Graham loop' we discussed!

Hope the rest of the dates can be confirmed asap.

Thanks for proposing these dates Graham, they look fine to me. See you next year.

I'll definitely be attending some of those dates. Definitely silverstone classic and peak district run. Looking forward to it

Thread stickied! :)

Thanks Mr Club Chairman!!

Gary has posted up details of the Peak run and I hace posted up details of the Lakes run.

[Lakelad]

We now have the Lakes Run , the Peaks Run, Tatton in June and Silverstone all posted up on different individual threads, which is great news. Does anyone want to get a thread up and running for the north Wales run on April 23rd? Bill Hulme, Gary, myself and others all know the route and Bill may even co-pilot if some one has a spare passenger seat. If no one posts it up I will next week.

Hey up Anthony! :)

I was just updating the Silverstone date in the opening thread post and noticed that the Yorkshire Run was set as Sunday 16th September, but that doesn't exist. :)

Please can you confirm whether it's Saturday 16th or Sunday 17th? :D

Cheers,
Tom

I'll go for Sunday the 17th. Want me to start a thread, or wait until mid-summer?

Cool, I've updated it to that. :)

Up to you mate, but I think you'd be alright if you advertised it around June time. :+:

Anthony, was round strines today on bike. It's all new tarmac! Might be worth a look for your run[emoji1303]

I saw your Facebook post. I'll go for a drive one weekend and have a look. There are loads of good roads. The trick is linking the good bits together in a route that doesn't lose anyone. :)

At the moment my plan is to do the same route as last year: http://www.mr2mk1club.com/showthread.php?17604-TdF-in-the-Dales-Yorkshire-Run-Sept-25th

This is nowhere near the Strines. If I can sort a run that includes The Strines I might make it an extra run rather than a replacement.

Hi Graham,

Is the Blackpool run on 29th October going ahead ? If so do we need a separate thread putting up so we can sign in ?
Martin is looking forward to the meal !!
