Hello,
Please accept this missive as a personal invitation from MAG and me the clubs liaison officer to come along to Farmyard Party. Please bring a stand to promote your club and its activities, as you will find no better venue to promote yourselves to a total like-minded crowd and you never know you may find potential new members.
The Farmyard Party is the biggest bikes-only rally in this country, larger even than anything in Europe. Last year's party was a spectacular event which made a very positive impression on many folk whom had never been before envisaged attending such an event.
Pete Walker (the event's organiser) said "The appeal of the Farmyard Party is very broad-based and we're keen to build on the event's popularity by making it the nation's prime gathering of clubs. This is a great social occasion and we want to make the Clubs Village a great success."
Bring your stand along - for free - and we'll also throw in two tickets for your trouble. I realise, of course, that in this life you don't get anything for nothing. Actually in this case you do, unless of course you want to buy me a beer, which will be more than welcome.
I hope to see many of you there with your stands. And don't forget, the cut off date for applications is 1st May, so get your fingers out and book now.
If you would like any further details on this or any other Yorkshire MAG events please visit www.farmyardparty.com where you can contact the organisers direct and obtain some useful and a some not so useful information regarding our events.
Goodnight
Fergus O'Connell
National Clubs Liaison Officer
