The management or organizer will not accept responsibility or liability for any accidents, incidents, damage or loss incurred whilst travelling to or from these meets or whilst attending them.
Please take a look at 'THE RULES' from the Menu Bar.
If you come in your car please give priority to the motorbikes parking close to the pub unless you are disabled or have difficulty in walking. Thank you.
The BN pin badges will be available for you to buy during the bike meets. Alternatively, please put a donation in the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) pot when you arrive.
The bike meets will still go ahead even if it's raining.
During many of our bike meets we hold a raffle, all the profit goes to the MAAC.
All prizes donated for our raffle are gratefully received.
It doesn't matter what time you arrive, but people start to leave around 8pm unless it's a warm, dry evening then they stay for a little longer.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported us over the past 22 years.
I hope you enjoy the bike meets and have discovered some new pubs which you really liked and might return to with new biker friends that you may have made.
----------------------------
Help is often needed with Marshalling at some of these busy bike meets and likewise with volunteers to collect for the MAAC.
Please, offer us your help on the night if we are busy.
Whilst every effort has gone into creating this list correctly, errors may occur and one or two pubs may not be able to accommodate us when the time comes,
so please be aware that this list is subject to change.
You are welcome to share or copy to friends, but
please update any changes I may need to make, accordingly.
____________Thank you!____________
LOWER LODE, FORTHAMPTON, nr Tewkesbury. GL19 4RE
Here are the directions to get to the pub because Sat Nav will take you the wrong way and you'll end up on the wrong side of the river!
Do Not turn into Lower Lode Lane near Tewkesbury Borough Council or the Leisure Center where there's a sign saying 'Lower Lode Ferry'.
You need to go through Tewkesbury town and then :-
FIRST EXIT at the 'Black Bear Inn' roundabout A38. Follow road for a short distance.
TURN LEFT A438 Ledbury Rd. Go over the Mythe Bridge with traffic lights. Follow this road for 2, 3 or 4 miles.
After you see the dead tree on your left, passing the Garage on your right, TURN LEFT for 'Forthampton' - sign posted.
TURN LEFT at the T- junction. Follow road for about a mile.
Go STRAIGHT OVER at the cross road, (look out for tractors near the farm house on the left).
Follow twisty road/lane until the end, the Lower Lode Hotel is there, next to the river Severn. Beautiful location.
IMPORTANT PARKING INFO at THE MILL:
The road narrows as you approach The Mill Inn on your left and has a bend towards the top of the hill which is quite a tight squeeze for 2 cars to pass with a brick wall almost jetting out next to the road!
Therefore, with the pub on your left side, please park on the left side of the road only, that's if the car park is full, but PLEASE don't park on the bend further up the road/hill. This gap will allow other road users to pass each other and for a large vehicle to be able to get the swing on to enable him to get around the bend with the brick wall.
If bikes park in this awkward area they might have to be moved by helpful Bikers without asking for permission to move the bikes first - sorry.
DIRECTIONS: From the Air Balloon Roundabout take the Cirencester Road. Then take the First Turning on your Right. Turn Left at the T- junction, (don't go past the Royal George). Follow road for 1 or 2 miles. You will see a sign on the side of the road - 'Ruby's' turn Left there, follow track towards the Barn/Bike Meet.
