Assen 2006

I know I've asked this in the International Section, but with the Assen Ice Speedway meeting less than four weeks away, I was wondering who else was going to be there apart from myself and the Edinburgh contingent?

I'm staying at the Mercure Hotel at the Martiniplatz in Groningen, so if you are there with Eurorider or Travel Plus you are staying at that Hotel. Failing that I'm the photographer with the glasses and my new Russian Fur Hat so i'm easily spotted.

The bar under the home straight is a good place to meet (where I met Midnight Lady, Pammie and King Jamie last year) so if a Forum get together is planned I will try and pop in to see you inbetween getting kicked out of the Pits and blagging a bib for the centre for the first few races.

If you are going for the Friday Night, remember that Graham Halsall is flying the flag for GB in the Golden Spike Racing that night, and has had his best season ever so far with a 5th place on Saturday in Divisov.

We should get behind him give him that boost to score well.

We are not sure yet, my passport has had to be renewed this month & I am waiting for it to come back. If it comes back in time we will more than likely go.

We will stay at the track in our people carrier. I dont think it will be as cold as Inzell.

If we go I will let you know closer to the date so we can meet up, so I can rub it in about our trip to Baveria. :D

As it is the Assen Weekend from Friday, I take it that any Forum members going will be meeting in the bar under the main grandstand on Saturday, before the racing?

If that is the case I will make every effort to get there before the racing starts.

As for Friday, if anyone is going I'm the stocky bespectacled photographer in the brown coat and Russian Fur Hat so please say hello if you see me. I do spend some races photographing the action from the terraces.

 

See you all there.

Sadly I have had to withdraw from the Assen trip due to ill health  :sad:

 

Hope you all have a great time and we will catch up again next year Conkers. Meanwhile I will console myself with the great pics that you will put on your website

 

Get well soon, ML. Hopefully I will see you in the season during our Northern Tour (no Glasgow or Berwick this time :sad: ).

 

Definately would recommend Assen and Ice Speedway to anyone who has not been, even though a cold bum is experienced :shock::rolleyes: Unfortunately I will not make it this year, my bank account is poorly :sad:

I do hope you feel better soon, look forward to seeing you in the future.

As for my website - well it's offline for some reason at the moment but I can't contact my Host to get it sorted!

Joanne - I hope I'll finally make your aqaintance this weekend, after missing you last year.

Yes, it would be nice but I will be in sunny High Wycombe instead. Maybe catch up with you in Cardiff.
