Why no May Breakfast Club thread?

[CivicMan]

Is it because the theme is so boring....? I haven't gone for one, and I'm as regular as clockwork there.

Not really. I think the main reason there hasn't been a big thread (as per usual) is that most of the people on here are primarily interested in cars. The turnout this morning was surprisingly large, with all 3 paddock areas completely packed with bikes, plus quite a few other vehicles (trucks, vans, etc.). They were still coming in when we left (mid-morning) and I noticed that there were a lot of cars parked in the field by the roundabout. As someone who's interested in both bikes and cars, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it looked like many others did too.

I went this morning, loads of bikes and not much else. A little disappointed but great breakfast at the Kennels.

What's the breakfast like at the Kennels?

I had a look in but have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the lack of older vehicles. OK if you are into modern bikes and H.D's ( what are those guys on?) but little else apart from a couple of very nice Morgans and some interesting Tri Kings. The car park was, as usual entertaining for those of a four wheel persuasion - some very special cars beautifully turned out.

had a nice morning there and got entrance in the milk float Mega Van, I seriously doubt that will ever happen again which shows what a different theme it was this month- amazed by the sheer number of bikes. Car park was loaded with car totty and worth a walk around.....looking forward to next months, expect it will be top notch.

We didn't go as we went to the kit-car show at stoneleigh - glad it clashed with this meeting as last year (as it seems this year) mostly bikes, which is fine if you like bikes! but not my cup of tea....
But goodwood is always a good visit, midweek as well there is mostly always things going on, and its free.

Mike360,

Yes, you do need to be a member to enter the Kennels.

Regards.

Am I the only person who thinks that they should scrap the themes for each BC meeting?
Just leave it open to everyone. So many people read the theme, then do not come, because they think they won't fit in.

If you keep a theme for each Breakfast club meeting you keep the number of attendees in check. People who aren't interested in the theme dont go, enthusiasts of the theme do go. Simples. The larger crowds turn when the theme is popular, like supercar Sunday for example. then every Tom, Dick and Harry/Harriette turn up to drool over the nice shiny things which are being shown off that day.

And it enables the organisers to have some semblance of order in what specials they allow in - if it was open season the vintage Aston Martins & Fezzas etc would always be at the front of the queue.

Probably...
