Jason Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I don't bite you know, you can knock on the door and say hello, I might even make you a cuppa! We're up to entry No 26 now and I'm waiting for the Postman now, expecting a few entries this morning.After the initial rush this week I'll do a block acknowledgement and get you all to check your details. I have to say the quality of the handwriting has improved this year, in the passed it's been a struggle to read the scribbles :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about, they were going to be withdrawn as a service next year I think but there were complaints from the few people who still use them so they've kept them but only until 2018 and I bet lots of banks will start making it awkward to get a cheque book without extra charges.

Deleted User Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Good luck to all who are taking part, I for one next year will not. Personal reasons really but I am willing to assist in any way I can though, Marshall or whatever is required. As always I would be willing to sort the spares list out. However I must stipulate that the list is to be with me a week before the RBRR. As I always feel I am bullying people to get their list in within the last few days.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We talked about this at the committee meetings and wondered what to use next. Paypal was suggested but not sure if it was taken up as I haven't read the magazine yet. As the youngest there they asked me if I had one and my reply was that I have two... I've never had an issue with getting one, they asked if I wanted one and I said yep.Rob - big shame there. Hopefully you'll be at the next club dinner though?

Goody Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Like Bobbyspit I also do not plan on running. Though Ash has entered. I do plan on comming over but will spend the time with a friend who will also be over frome th states. I will Marshall if needed. As for the flow show, I don't think anyone will top the 08 one. Yes Martin let us down last time but, I thought the floor show was put on by Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, with the appropriate fee (£80) for an extra driver but please don't leave it too late. We need to have details of all crew in good time to publish a participants list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I note no-one has been brave enough to enter anything less than a 1300 so far.Has anyone ever analysed the average engine size of the entries every year since it started??It is 2192cc for 2012 at the moment.There will be 162191cc of (mostly! ) Triumph horsepower making it's way round Britain.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
