I'm probably going in the MH and stay a night or two.... Steve Purves is going, not sure who else though.

I wish I could, but nobody's doing coach trips yet and anyway, I'm not supposed to spend any money until next May, when it's possible that I can become a pensioner. I'm not getting my hopes up because they've already moved the goalposts for the date twice. I'm sure they'll try and do it again before actually handing anything back to me.
And widow's pension only lasts 18 months now. I wonder who's getting John's pension. Not me, that's for sure
Anyway, enjoy the show and say hello to Steve from me.

I’m hoping to.
There’s a chance my brother can get a couple of free tickets, so fingers crossed.
I’ve still got 6 days leave.
Might go even if I have to pay. Not been for several years.

I think all the pension money is put in a pot together with all the Car Parking money that we paid but didn't use all the hours.... and all the .5 of a pence that all the Garages charge for petrol........ Oh and the 5 pences for all the plastic carrier bags....... It then gets given to various government departments to spend on ideas for pissing us all off.........

I've not been for @ 5 years either....... might be good to just catch up with things....... Some interesting bikes in the pipeline by all accounts.

Got free tickets for Tuesday 7th
Apparently they include £20 for lunch
I think we have to go to the Kawasaki stand for that, but will wait and see.
Not worried about paying for parking, having saved nearly £100
