Wales GPS workshop anyone interested?

2 wheel humvee · 17th March 2005, 3:11 PM

I've long since known that I'm not getting the best out of my GPS,I know there are things it can do that I never use.
Is anyone interested in a GPS workshop get-together? Probably a one off meet up to share ideas and benefit from those "in the know",does anybody in Wales feel that they could share their expertise with the rest of us?
I've spoken with judge about this today,if there are sufficient numbers interested he'd be prepared to make the journey over the border-so to speak to help out,he sees 12 as an ideal group size-do we have 12 members in Wales :?:

If not maybe we could throw this idea open to neighbouring regions (South West/West Midlands perhaps?)
Register your interest here,don't all rush at once :lol:

Im up for it, but you´ll all have to come down this little corner of Wales!

20th March 2005, 6:33 AM

Yes indeed, I am also interested, depends where the venue would be?

Numbers are creeping up,we're nearly halfway there now,let's leave it a while longer to guage interest and maybe have a gathering with some of our neighbours (West Mids & maybe South West) and try to arrange a mutually convenient meeting point. Alan (BTBR) seems to be the only interested party from outside Wales at the moment,perhaps the next step could be to duplicate the thread on the 2 other regional forums mentioned above,and,possibly duplicate the thread on UKGSer,open to suggestions....................... (relevant ones that is......)

We could pop up from Plymouth for it...

And I'd certainly pop over from Somerset!

2 wheel humvee · 31st March 2005, 9:14 AM

O.K. here's an update of who's interested so far,I think we probably have enough people now-though we could squeeze in a couple more.

Bob- Cardiff
Alan- bigtrailbikerider
Ryland- Bfb1150GS
Andy- andyleet
Dave & Val
madmikey
ralphy
Dennis
& myself

Spanish Bob expressed an interest but it's unlikely his busy schedule or paymasters will afford him the time to attend,plus there's the slightly higher travelling costs............ Bob if you can make it you're most welcome

I'm sure 1 or 2 people expressed an interest in attending this on the recent Easter Sunday rideout :? You know who you are-get in touch soon so I can book enough deck chairs

I have an idea for a venue in Cardiff,is a Saturday O.K. for most people?
PM me with dates that you cannot make,lets try and make this happen sooner rather than later :lol:

Steve.

31st March 2005, 9:50 AM

You can put me down for this as well. I can do Saturdays, provided I have a bit of notice.

31st March 2005, 11:39 AM

Dependant on how soon you are thinking of running it, but I am fully booked up for the next six Saturdays doing darn lights.......

Maybe best if I pass this time around until such time that the current (pun intended) is over with and I'll attend the next one?

Alan

madmikey · 31st March 2005, 8:39 PM

I'm not available on the 16th April

2 wheel humvee · 31st March 2005, 10:40 PM

I've been offered 2 excellent venues in Cardiff today for a meeting,Andy @ Hein Gericke has offered an area of the shop with tables and chairs and Peter @ Rydale BMW has offered the conference suite at the dealership,of course there is the opportunity to spend money at either venue

1st April 2005, 5:38 AM

If this helps you, I can confirm from personal experience that the conference room at Rydales is "Top Notch" with a cafe adjoining.

Steve.

Satyurdays are good for me. However I will be out of the country from May 5th until May 26th

I think you might struggle to get a weekend that's good for everyone ?

3rd April 2005, 1:43 PM

oops sorry could you add me to the list
need a bit of notice to swap shifts etc !!!

Bob (cardiff) it would be nice if we can get this sorted before the date you mention,it's probably too short notice for next weekend????
The following weekend is Lands End

How about we go for Saturday 23rd April?
I've had no objections to the venue or a Saturday,so I'm assuming that's O.K. with everyone.All we need now is to O.K. it with those "in the knowledge" to make sure it fits into their busy schedule

Slimbo-do try and keep up

your on the list mate...........which reads;
2WH
cardiff
ryland bfb1150
andy leet
dave & val
mad mikey
ralphy
dennis
slimbo
EJ

Any more?????

4th April 2005, 6:10 AM

Saturday 23rd April 05 is fine with me.

5th April 2005, 7:54 PM

Yep i'm interested.
Thinking of upgrade from my gps v so would like to know more about whats available and what they do.
Cheers
Bob.

madmikey · 5th April 2005, 8:15 PM

23rd is good for me as well

Hmmmm that's a shame,because it looks like the 23rd is now not "do-able"

The 30th April is though, can everybody let me know regarding this date,as soon as possible please, venue is most likely @ Rydale (will confirm) Thank you.
Steve.

Saturday 30th April 05 is fine with me.
