I need to book time off work and a search of the interweb is giving me... Hoar Farm, Atherstone, North Warwickshire on 2nd - 4th September.
I know it's early days but can anyone confirm these dates please ?
No, but I did read it somewhere! A google search finds this 😆
The Hoar Park website has nothing (yet) http://www.hoar-park.co.uk/events
FWIW I have already booked the 2nd Sept off work!
Yes that is the dates, they were announced from the organiser of 2016 on the ssuk2015 facebook group.
Been for the past couple of years, and love it, great atmosphere and great fun.
2nd -4th September @ Hoar Park is confirmed
Website & Facebook page coming soon
Thanks, I don't do Facebook so will keep an eye out for the website.
Anyone have any updates on this ?
No they are tardy bastards - as is to be expected/ as tradition demands
I expect to be emailed about two weeks before the event - I never check the FB page - seems to be down for me but i am no FB expert
Anyone confirm anything?
Its all sorted, the godiva boys have been so organised its scary, so they are now being a bit slack just to make it look traditionally shonky!
Will be shite compared to 2014 though 😀
I never confirm anything......raises expectations.
Wasn;t it Edwin Collins who once sang a song called low expectations?
your expectations are high if you think I either know or care 😉
The suspense is killing me
There are stirrings amongst the SSUK 2016 organisers!!!!!!!
Full Shonky update on here and Falsebook re registration details soon
Watch this space........
😀
soon is mid to late June then 😉
You expect organisation??? Lol
Will there be Scratchings at the rest stop again...

Registration is open www.ssuk2016.co.uk
I suppose we best get our sh1t together now, but its raining, so I'm watching Game of Thrones instead.......
Cooooool.
DoB in american style?
dd/mm/yyyy
it's presented [month] [day] [year] on the web page, just my inner pedant showing, no biggy 🙂
More importantly I've signed up on your site, done a £55 payment via paypal but may have got distracted and not clicked the final confirmation in paypal, the payment isn't showing on my paypal activity so wanted to check whether you have received it, what's the best way? Can I email the address on your profile bernaard or something via facebook?
Just registered my entry, will be my first time at this event and also my first time racing single speed! Can't wait!
Hoping they do "race" only entries, can't do the whole weekend
Same here, a weekend would be fun but can't really spare the time
Race Day Only will be available
Most likely to be "pay on the day"
More details to follow...........
That's me sorted then.Can I pay to do the not racing day only?
Still waiting for leave approval (hopefully tomorrow). Boss man seemed confused when I told him the reason why I needed time off, his response... Why would you ride a bike with only one gear ? 🙄
Why does the question "why do you want leave?" get asked? It's your leave, not his.
When he realises how awesome singlespeeder are your leave will be granted 😀

Just to let you know the closing date for registration for SSUK16 will soon be upon us.
As its being hosted by Godiva this year it would be good for a good turnout.
The more the merrier and hopefull more to charity
I sincerely hope that no one turns up expecting a free weekends camping.
If people wish to attend that's fine, but the camping field has cost us so don't expect it to be free camping as we've had to fork out for the field already, amongst loads of other groovy things for you nice(ish) people
Gutted that I can't make it this year.
Right Then You Lot !
ENTRIES WILL BE CLOSING ON SUNDAY 24th JULY - That is THIS SUNDAY !!!
Day Entries will be available @ £15.00 which is for RACE ONLY entry and will not include a goody bag. There will be a limited number of T-Shirts available to buy on the day but best way to guarantee one of these limited edition tops is to ENTER NOW !!

What time are the Shonky shenanigans going to be kicking off on the Friday ?
Quite, looking to get there around 1pm ish for an early lap and a bottle of wine!
Registration should be open from about 3pm
There is a ride on the Friday evening if anyone want to which will hopefully include a pub stop.
Your guide for the ride will be the current WEMBO World SS Endurance Champion - Steve Day
I've had a quick look but I cant seem to see anything about the actual race. Is it one of those 12/24hr things?
Ha ha ha! I think it *might* not be that long!
Just found out about this event.
It looks like race starts on Saturday morning but I can't find the schedule. I work Saturdays until 1pm...looks like I'm going to miss it. Bad, very bad news.
Went out for a ride with the Godiva boys tonight, much excitement about this event, not long now, can't wait.
I'm hoping for the laidback SS race ethos of one winner and everyone else came 2nd. 😀
Will there be Cider and Pork Scratchings ?
Great event as ever The Godiva boys and girls ran a great event I,m hoarse and heavy legs after all the dancing and mud plugging see you all in the Lakes next year 🙂
Cheers everyone who came and made it a success
Superb weekend, thanks to all the GT crew for putting on such a great event.
Singing, dancing, eating, drinking beer and riding bikes 😀
Good luck to Postierich and his crew for next year.
Will tomato soup and ninja pork pie be on the menu ? 😉
A few Shonky images from the weekend....
