..2004 RALLY..
September 3rd/ 4th / 5th
13th Miles From Nowhere Rally
Held at Ridley Wood Farm, Ridley Wood,
Nr. Wrexham.
What a wild weekend, this is the best way to start it off...wild
and busy for the whole club!
This was the 13th year that the Rally was put on and we did not know how many
numbers we would actually get, we had only sold about 150 tickets although we
had been advertising the event all summer we needed 500+ at least, oh shit its
the 13th year and this is where it all goes wrong, bad luck time ahead, spare
undies at hand!
Guess what...I was wrong as usual and loads of bikers
turned up 750+, panic stations over and we had to start worrying weather we had
enough space for everyone, the site is quite large but we had cars on site
which took up valuable space.
Our aim is to let
everyone have a good time, we have cheap beer, draught and canned, plus we did
all the shorts as usual and boy oh boy did they drink a lot, food was available
on site with a local country pub within walking distance where you can get
a posh meal, we could of picked a site away from a pub as this would increase
our sales but a good time for the visitors is our aim...because that's what we
would expect if we we visited your rally!
We had 9 bands on over the weekend with the band Dusk till Dawn supporting
Second Bite from Liverpool on Friday night and Wrexham bands Nod Corner
supporting the Swillers on Saturday night, music was performed from the likes of
the Levelers to Iron Maiden to the Manic Street Preachers right over to all the
usual AC/DC covers, a right rocking weekend with a large variation of music
which is how we all like it!
All the music over the weekend went down a storm and now we are
searching for more bands for our next major rally in September 2005!

We call them BIKERS but drunks is nearer the truth!
Everyone behaved themselves over the weekend, everyone got
involved in having a good laugh, weather its was sitting around the massive
bonfire into the early hours of the morning or being adventurous and getting
involved in the silly games throughout Saturday afternoon where over 100 people
got of their backsides and became silly for once!
Their was only a 10 minute walk to the local pub from the site entrance
where first class food was served, the sun shined all weekend so some bikers
just strolled back and to from the pub to the site!
The WORKERS consist of members and friends who have helped to keep this event going for so many years and the general public has no idea of how much work is put into the event, no one gets paid for it, we all just do it for the crack and there is also the fact that if we don't put a Rally on....who else will around this neck of the woods,...party on!
