1200 at "Three Little Pigs" catering company at the 25th Iron Ore Rally at the Egremont Rugby Football Club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1587873661493734/?ref=share).
The Iron Ore is a great old style camping rally, with fine rock music, optional Beer-swilling, obligatory bollox talking and memories rekindling.

Come along at least for the RTE (the organisers will provide wristbands for IBA day visitors), or really push the boat out and come for the weekend; there will be a healthy cohort over from Northern Ireland.

You get Flashy lights and Noise from our good friend Garth Williams of ‘Pirate Lighting and Sound’
You get Bike Comp’s with swankey trophies, not to mention the One off Stevie Boy Crawford ‘Most Mechanically challenged’ trophy, usually worth more than the bike that wins it.

You can take yer pants off on the stage.
You can show off yer Tatt’s or anything else you care to share.

You can sing songs and play yer guitar all night, you dont need to be able to sing or play the guitar.
Or you can just stand there with a pint on yer head…..we dont care really, we just want everyone to have a good time with like minded people.
You can even buy a t shirt to remind you of your amazing weekend that you cant remember you’ve just had.
And If that doesnt float yer boat, well maybe your in the wrong group.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it now (selling a bike and the buyer can only pick up on Saturday! - Does mean I can buy another one then though ) - Hopefully get to meet you all at another one.
