I apologise, I shall write in English and use a traduction, if I attempt it in French nobody will understand!
first and foremost, it is a lot of work to arrange the rally and I thank the people who give thier time to make it work.
a personal preference, I like tents, it is much more sociable, but we only get older!, many of my friends need a bed, they aren't young, they travel a lot of miles and a good sleep is important for a long journey.
camping was normal, municipals en route, but now they need hotels, many are missing, they can no longer ride, or are dead!!
so yes, mobile homes are a requirement.
as Skyranger said Huttopia fits the bill, large enough and high quality.
AGM, you don't require a hall, a microphone and a speaker is enough,
yes a greeting and apero on a few tables is very nice.
arranged rides, I don't enjoy, and I see it is difficult to arrange, a map of points of interest and places to eat, allow people to set their own timetable and take a lot of work off the organizers.
I like the T shirt and gift, please keep this, and the shop of RA stickers etc.
now I shall be negative!
please remember this is personal preference.
I don't enjoy the meal,
I understand it is very hard to cater for over 100 people, but the quality suffers,
if you want quality regional food visit a restuarant at midday!
the meal actually segregates us, of course we will sit and eat with friends, and they are old, the meal is late for many of them, they eat and retire to bed,
a food truck seems a better idea to me personally.
I understand it is very hard to please everyone,
but with a little more effort you can piss everyone off MDR.
again thank you to the people who make it happen.
I am only riding so fast because I need a poo
