The History of British Mountainbiking Movie – Prestwich Premier

Righty-ho,

At the great personal expense of my lovely wife (she had to lend me the cash) I’ve secured a copy of the film for a screening in The Church Inn, Prestwich on a yet to be finalised Friday Evening next September.

The room capacity is 40. Tickets will be somewhere between £5 and £7.50 each depending on how enthusiastic the response to this thread is ?

If we oversubscribe or the pub gets sold we’ll find another venue, but we have a contingency.

Once costs are covered any money left will be donated to charity.

The film is about an hour long IIRC so there will be time for a beer and pie frenzy afterwards.

Whats not to like…

im in

I’m in too.

I’ve needed an excuse to visit the Sister in law for ages…I’m in if you’ll have me?

😀

I’m in and so’s my wife.

No really, she said she’d go.

I’m in too.

I would invite the lovely Mrs B but she finds mountain bikes boring…

She doesn’t even like pies.

Or beer…

My wife did ask “How long do I have to watch a film about pushbikes for?”

Once reassured that it was only about an hour she was much happier as that leaves at least 2 hours of quality boozing time. I’m not sure that she is so enthusiastic about the pies either.

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars Greggs, via the LBS and the pub.

I’m in.

Dependent on time and date you can count me, Neal and Tony in!

Thanks for sorting this HtS

Me and tthew

Me and edhornby.

Edit – would you like the money at the BMXing on Monday so you’re not out of pocket for longer than necessary?

Nah. Wife has lent it me from her reserves.

In please. It involves drinking and no physical exertion which suits me.

The organiser needs to give an intro speech though

Yes please

Two please, Sue’ll be up for that.

Thank you.
🙂

I’m in please.

+++STOP PRESS+++

A mystery benefactor may be stepping in so that I don’t have to sell my soul/ass to repay the £100.

Moore details to follow

+++STOP PRESS+++

I’m in. My misses would also like to join us. She likes beer and pies. She likes to ride to, as long as there are no hills to climb.

Two here as well please,sounds excellent.

all done! the film is ordered, so it’s all set to go!

So you are the mystery man!

I thought it was the other one.

any seats left?

Me too, and the wife.

No tickets have been sold or allocated yet, but those on this thread will have first refusal. This exercise was just to gauge interest so that we could think about the venue size, pricing, overhead recovery and so on.

I’ve quite missed all the behind the scenes logistics of putting on an event. This one cost £100 (of someone else’s money 😉 ). The first HTN had me, Jason and Vince sweating over £17,000 and we didn’t have a backer!

I can’t see me not sleeping for 3 night in a row with this one.

It can be arranged

I can hear you in my wardrobe you know. I just choose to ignore you.

i’m gonna have sleepless nights over my hundred quidlets, definitely.

I reckon we try to recreate the feel of HTN by giving everyone a bucket of mud to wear over their silly grins from having far, far too much fun for the cost.

Update

Going to sort the details out with the pub.

Hopefully it will become a movie, pies, beer, fancy trousers and Binners’ artwork party night.

I’m going to wear a beret and a goatee beard and spend the night scratching my chin thoughtfully

You have to wear trousers? I’m out

Are we going for a ride beforehand? *

*(Yeah, I know, stupid question. Why spoil a nice evening? 😀 )

You can if you like.

oooh it’s exciting! i’m still worried about that hundred quid though…

(not really)

Do you have a date in September?
I’ve told the missus I’m going feral*for 24 hours and meeting her in Manchester……she wants to know when….
*she is used to this.

I’ll confirm when it is a definite. It won’t be the weekend of the 10th.
