I would aim to gentian the water for 8.30 and to Piel for 9 this gives you chance to drop your camping gear etc and make the drivers safety brief.
Stand by for it to b postponed f the weather forecast doesn't improve, it's gone down hill.

I'll make a decision by 8pm tomorrow to give you and others some notice, the proposed date for it to go ahead would be the 23rd-24th, again bank holiday weekend if it is postponed.
Mike

The poker run has now officially been postponed until the 6-7th June due to the horrendous weather forecast. I know this may help a few that were struggling to get ready I time.
Please try and save the date!
Thanks all
Mike

hi Allan hope your well mate?
I will tray and let all know everyway possible, facebook on here and texts are going out as we speak.
The run is being postponed, safety is paramount and the course cant easily be adapted and it wont be fun in the rain. its not just about the run its about the whole weekend being enjoyable for all
so the 6-7th june is the new date, can all that have entered just let me know you have got the message
thanks
Mike

Poker run
Hi mike it's shame you have had to cancell everyone knows you have put a lot of effort in to make it happen but I agree you have made the right decision,I know it's a bit selfish but if you have space can I put my name down for the June date with Faberge as I'm home for those dates ,we normally go to the Isle of Man TT on the Friday but if you have room for us weather permitting we could go over late Sunday or Monday morning if anyone else fancies it ( what do you think Alan) ( macca )??
