We've just come home 'cos they shut our end of the green off for the night. Good day though: Lorn, Nic, Steve XR and Urban John (as well as me) manned the stand all day, while we had guests including, Biff, Brownie, Steveweka, TJ, Doug, Clayton, Jules, Craig, Rob McCarthy, Steve H, Hampster, and many others, busy old stand it was!

Also, between us (but mainly Lorn) we reckon we've got 15-20 new members! Not all of them for our group though, Lorn got one for the west Midlands and a couple for Dorset. Spoke to hundreds of potential members but they were the ones who definately want to join us.

Great spot to sit and watch Steve Colley on his trials bike, The Tigers (a group of kids from 5 up who were brilliant) and of course our very own Jamie Squib who did an excellent show especially when you think how wet and greasy it was.

Yes, it persisted down for most of the day!

But a bit of rain didn't dampen our spirits, no sir not a bit! Great fun was had by all. Still tomorrow to go as well!

Thanks guys for manning the DTRFG fort, it was a pleasant surprise to see our stand so busy, i reckon lots of dirty bikes just off the lanes made the right statement.

Thanks lorn for the cake can you bring some with you for next sat ?? or is that to cheeky ?

Had a fantastic day myself. Great to meet new faces and see old ones too. Atmosphere was really good and for my first festival, it's left a good impression. I meant to take a load of pictures but I got somewhat distracted by it all. Steve Colley, Jamie Squibb and the young Tigers were all superb.

Weather was crap but all in all, it's been worth getting wet.

Well day two went well also. It was bloody cold though and a bit rainy first thing which certainly kept the crowds away this morning.

Loads of people about this afternoon and we think we got another five or six new members today so a total of up to 30 probable new members for the various TRF groups (we spoke to guys and gals from London, the Midlands, Cornwall and all points North) so a pretty successful three days.

Amazing how utterly knackering it is being on a stand for a few hours is, and I've got a sore throat from all the gassing I've done to both potential new members and all the current members who have called by to say hello and eat cake....

Think they just came for the cake really!

Thanks to Nic for organising what was a very professional looking stand (we were in the running for best stand) and to SteveXR and Urban John for manning the stand so well.

Oh and to Lorn as well for all the baking and gassing to people she did too.
