Set in the Heart of the Garden Of England with the Hop Fields just a stones throw away & the old site that once was Paul Smarts Kawasaki centre just 2 miles away.
The new venue is only 10 miles west of the last rally site so won't take to much time to find. It has a large car park at the front & more importantly has a 2 acre field behind it, enough room to park all the Vans, Cars trailers Bikes & Tents.
They have a mobile Gas Bar B Q we can use if we bring in our own food for later Saturday night after their restaurant has closed. 2 bar areas & dance floor plus 2 wash basins in the ladies, one in the men?s & one in the invalid bog too!
Like last year we will also hire the mobile bogs & SPSG Members Martin & Jane are going to try & knock up a shower unit with a "Brrrrrr cold hose pipe" if anyone is brave enough to use it
A consistent selection of Shepherd Neame cask ales is available; Master brew, Spitfire and Bishop Finger & the infamous Hooligans larger better known as Hurlimans, plus the usual range of lagers and bottled beers. The casks are set into the main wall behind the bar so the ale is poured straight into the glass.
A Blues/Rock band "Bitten by Monkeys" www.myspace.com/bittenbymonkeys2008 has been booked for Saturday night & paid for by the pub. DJ Delboy D will spin some 70?s tunes on the Friday night to set the mood for the weekend.
The local village just a stones throw down the lane with 3 Bum burners a chippy & local shops plus a Huge Petrol Station for those thirsty triples. Paddock wood is just 2 miles away with more general shops & more restaurants including another chippy Chinese & kebab house to boot.
Nearly forgot on site we have a gigantic Bonfire & the Landlady is keen for us to set fire to it although she did stop at burnouts in the bar!!
The ride-out will be along the same lines as before taking in the leafy lanes of Kent plus the addition of Rye & Hastings East Sussex instead of Dungeness & Camber Sands.
A change of scenery for Fish & Chips will be at Hastings Sea front, then a fast pace ride back all the way up the A21 to Kippings Corner turning right into the village of Matfield, stopping briefly in Paddock Wood outside what was the Kawasaki Mecca of Kent the former Paul Smart?s Kawasaki Centre!
Then back to the rally site line the bikes up briefly in the front car park for judging then around 7pm we will have our trophy presentation. 9pm the band starts chill out & ?get pissed optional?
No Excuse this year for not enough room for Tents, Vans & Bikes, & Car Park for Saturday Bike Judging
And a massive Bonfire to boot
