Planning routes... not getting lost... fixing broken cars... replacing flat tyres...

I *will* lose!

But... I'M IN!

Ahahaha! I have no money but I don't care! Sounds fun and life's too short!

Who wants to jump upon the Pheebsmobile!?

Burble · 06-04-2011, 17:17

I'm very interested but it'll depend on dates. I'd be tempted to do it in my car as it's pretty good long distance cruiser.

There's a few spare seats in mine if you wanted to do that rather than drive, Pheebs? You could of course share the driving too if you wanted.

Pheebs · 06-04-2011, 17:25

I like brumming! I'd share! My cars... well. It's speshul.

Hahaha! Honk honk! You think it's wise to share a vehicle with moi!? I siiiiiiing in the car!! Ahahahaa!

Right, I originally wanted to run this after the summer holidays, but so far the general response seems to be "I would, but I've already committed to a holiday this year" or "I have no holiday left at work" or "I can't raise the cash for a while" and so on.

So, while I'm loath to lose the momentum here, I would suggest that the event be postponed until May next year.

Plus points...

People have a year to sort their lives out financially
It will be into next years holiday entitlement
People can plan their holidays around the event.
Gives me a while to arrange everything and gather more people.
if I made it slightly later this year it would bring us into close season and everything will be closed when we get there, so by making it spring next year, we get to go right at the start of the season...

Bad points...
People will forget about it and lose interest, or assume I'm just daydreaming and lose interest.

I know it may seem like a kop out, but I don't want to waste my time arranging it, then turn up on the day and be the only person in the car park, so I'd rather give people enough notice and ensure they can make it. I have already arranged one event last year, so I have a track record of pulling it off (oo-er).

I also have enough experience of people saying they're interested and then pulling out close to the time, which is why I initially said I'd only do it if there was enough interest

)

What do people think? Does this sound reasonable, and would it make it more likely that people could make it if it were next year?

Or would you be less likely to do it if it didn't happen for several months?

Burble · 06-04-2011, 18:10

I'd be much more likely to join in if it doesn't happen for a while. I'm going to be in Canada for 3 weeks next month so my holiday time and money is pretty much tied up for now.

I wanna be in the pheebsmobile! - later would be better for me though so depends on the timing.

Pheebs · 06-04-2011, 18:36

Why not in the autumn/winter this month?!!?

ALL ABOOOOOOARD! HONK HONK!

Kitten · 06-04-2011, 19:07

Kitten, if they're not up for it we should do it ourselves. And if we win we should award ourselves with drinks and oodles of scrummy foods and dancing.
