How was it??

I would have loved to come again but this year funds did not permit…
Was it as good as the other years? Any pics somewhere online yet?

And did Bob’s square four run yet?

Cheers,
Erik

Hi Erik Bob’s phased transfer engine is about all finished with the final pieces being made now. We are looking for a wideline featherbed rolling chassis to put it in but no luck yet Roger

Hi Eric,
Now that the dust an blue smoke have settled a little over the normally tranquil estate of Abbotsholme I am able to post a reply. The weekend did go well, it being necessary to crowbar the last few stragglers off the estate late on the Sunday afternoon.
Rachael had baked one of her special fruit cakes nowing that her dutch friend was normally one of the first to arrive on the Friday and would be in need of building up after such a long ride. I didn’t have the heart to tell her you were standing her up this year, but the cake all went anyway. In deed you would not have been the first this year as Trevor and family were there at 8.30 on the Friday morning.
A good run on the Saturday with no breakdowns that I was aware of, although I did loose my silencer and proceeded to deafen the whole area for the rest of the day.
Hope you can make it next year.
Eddie

Ahhh, that cake…. Mmm, missed that for sure! Took more than one piece last year 😉 But as I am trying to loose weight (have to fit in my leathers again) maybe better I was not there…

I will sure try and be there again next year. It is too good an event to be missed!

Cheers,
Erik

Sorry you could not make it this year Erik, particularly after your epic journey in 2009. I have put a copy disc in the post to you, of my photographic record of the machines attending the Sunday Gathering, to spur you on to save up during the winter for 2011. Some year I must record the conversations, which are such an integral part of the amicable SOC !
Best wishes,
David.

Thanks David! And I will sure try and save up for next year. So we can hopefully come with the whole family.

Alhough with my oldest going to school this season I am almost certain the date will collide with that… School holiday ending at August 21st I mean… Yet another problem to overcome.

Edit: checked online and considering that Abbotsholme will probably stay in the third weekend of August we will not be able to attend with the whole family until 2015 at least… Comforting thought…

Cheers,
Erik
