Does anyone know if the annual Ecky Thump Rally will be going ahead this year. I believe the Pickering 40s festival has been cancelled but was hoping the rally will still take place.

I’m hoping it’s on Nick. I’m bloody gagging to get away for a couple of days.

If there is nothing official, I’ll meet you there and share a pint of shandy with yer!

You're on Steve. I've been to a couple of unofficial get togethers in the last 2 weeks. First a weekend in Morecambe with some VStrom owners then last weekend I was in Dent with about 70 Harley riders. Enjoyed both but you can't beat the Ecky Thump. :-) :-)
PS-- what's a shandy?

If persons are up for it I will contact the pub and see what the situation is.
I provisionally booked for 9 - 11 October as previous years.

Watch this space :)

Hmmmm so who's been watching this space?

Well pack your gear we are on for the forthcoming ECKY THUMP 2020, ye ha!

Have been in touch with the pub and they are operating as 'normal', Covid precautions apply.

We are booked in for the 9th to 11th October as past years.

I will arrange fire wood as per normal.

Food can be arranged for the usual £10 per head and will be in the conservatory, served form the counter, 2 options and 6, yes six persons per table.

I will need some idea of numbers, as since the situation is still fluid, they may need a deposit for the food, which is understandable.

I will ensure that we have sole use of the conservatory.

Most of you are sensible and I would appreciate if anyone feels that they have been in a situation where thay have tested for, or have been in contact with someone with Covid that you would do the mature thing and be absent.

The 40's weekend at Pickering has been cancelled.

Any comments please and lets start making a list.

Cheers Steve (alias Mario)

PS I will be there on the Thursday

(Happy now John :D )
