Wales GPS workshop anyone interested? - Page 2

madmikey · 7th April 2005, 8:01 AM

30th sould be ok

7th April 2005, 7:01 PM

It makes no difference to me, but thought it best to point out asap that 30th April is the Saturday of the May Bank Holiday weekend, just in case your "other halves" have other plans.

8th April 2005, 7:25 PM

Firtyuff it iz than

2 wheel humvee · 8th April 2005, 10:12 PM

I've received no objections to the date,I hope to be able to confirm the venue very soon as Rydale.The format of the workshop will consist of some theory and discussion and some practical-so bring your bikes and your GPS

Updated list now looks like this;

Cardiff (Bob)
Bfb1150 (Ryland)
Andy Leet
Dave & Val
Mad Mikey
Ralphy
Dennis
Slimbo
EJ
Bob James
Andrew Bird*

(*may well have changed his name by then :lol: )

See you all there,I'll announce a time nearer the date-probably make it impossibly early to suit the West Wales insomniacs :lol:

Steve.

bfb1150gs · 9th April 2005, 5:20 PM

looks like i can't make the 30th unless it's in the afternoon as i work till 12 on a saturday. other boys are off that weekend so i cant get the time off. i might be able to get an early finish but it will still take an hour to get to rydales

sorry about this
Ryland

Dennis · 12th April 2005, 6:03 AM

Only just got onto this ....still most of my on-line time on "the other site"
but yes, 30th looks good for me so far............

ralphy · 12th April 2005, 12:22 PM

Sorry, as has been pointed out on the board (& quite forceably too by mrs ralphy) the 30th is a BH weekend & so I can't make it.......................

12th April 2005, 1:05 PM

I've just had it pointed out to me that the *ONLY* reason I can do it is because its a Bank Holiday so I will have Sun/Mon to do the family thing and Fri/Sat for playtime.

Sounds like a TOP wifey there, Andy!!

2 wheel humvee · 13th April 2005, 4:03 PM

Venue now confirmed as Rydale BMW Penarth Rd Cardiff,will post arrival times nearer the date

Ralphy-put your foot down

1 day to yourself from a 3 day Holiday weekend is not unreasonable

Ryland;maybe you could turn up for the remainder of the day,when your shift finishes,see you at Abercrave next week? We can discuss it then.

Room for a couple more if you're interested...................

Regards,

Steve.

LOL I think she's having an affair I've never known her be so compliant to my GS play-time. Maybe I'm a sulky thing when she says no. Oh well I guess if someone else is treating her and buying the gifts my meagre pennies will go a little further

You mind if I bring the missus along Steve? We're off to USA on 5th of May and will be taking the Garmin with us (we have an American one with American maps) and of course the missus is the one who uses it and programs it while we are there. I have enough trouble driving on the wrong side of the road for lords sake

Anyway if there's room then she'd love to come along too

Cheers

Bob

Just a quick headcount,it seems as though Dave & Val can't make it after all

Myself
Andy Hobdell
Cardiff (& better half)
Andy Leet
Madmikey
Dennis
Slimbo
EJ
Bob James
Birdy

Ryland (Bfb1150)-is a maybe
& Gerry Huxtable

Although this is a "members only" event,there is the option of joining "on the day" if any of you know any body else likely to be interested bring them along.
So we;ve got 10 definates,1 maybe and a couple of possibles

If anybody does not have a gps already can you let me know,so that Andy can guage the level of tuition required,as already stated this will take the form of theory & practical so bring your bikes-whatever the weather

Dave & Val · 24th April 2005, 8:53 AM

Sorry for the late reply, I have been trying to get out of the other (Family) commitment, but its a done deal and I'm stuck with it, as I booked the Hotel last night.

So I'll still be the one that can't work the GPS properly......

Maybe the next one will be in the southwest....

Dave & (Val at work)

Does anyone of those coming to the workshop have a laptop with Mapsource installed on it - or even a laptop without Mapsource installed on it as I can install Mapsource on it for the workshop.

I will be bringing mine and if Snowslider can make it we'll have two but 2-3 would be best. Let me know please, if we haven't got available laptops then I'll re-jig the workshop plan.

GerryH · 24th April 2005, 12:27 PM

I can bring Laptop with Mapsource installed.

Gerry

25th April 2005, 10:05 PM

Steve,

Rolls off the tongue nicely

I'll bring Welsh cakes, whats else

26th April 2005, 8:35 AM

I'll bring the jelly then.

Looking forward to this - what time do you want us ? I'll have the GPS but will be in the car - the whole family are heading East after the workshop, so I can't take the bike. If anyone fancies a lift down, just give me a buzz - but I'm afraid you'll have to make your own way back.

Humvee. Just a suggestion, but do you want me to go through the "other site" to dig up a list of problems which others have encountered? May be a good idea to print off the answers too .... just in case.
