Replied to mail as well HtS and I trust you to not explain my stupidity on the open forum 😉

Stick us down too if there are any returns.

No rota yet, but if I'm working I'll be able to get there by eight.

Just out on the bike, email you later Harry?

Timely bump as it is on the front page.

Saw it at the Hebden screening at weekend. Pretty good! Nice to see some local shots Rammy regulars will recognise!

Replied to mail as well HtS and I trust you to not explain my stupidity on the open forum

I am willing to make a donation to here the story 😉

Glad it was on the front page as a reminder, looking forward to buying copy and seeing it

Its not exciting
I am going to a festival that weekend

😥

Only joking of course, enjoy

Jammers - if you fancy coming up then we'll put you up at Chez Binners.

We've got both running water, and elecrtrickery. And there's beer and pies. What's not to like?

Seriously ... you'll never have experienced culcha like this 😀

The pub has B&B should anyone wish to travel from afar.

There's a Premier Inn type thing about half a mile away too.

paid 🙂

I'll pop this link into the film page and webstory. When it sells out, which it will let the office know chaps 🙂

How do chaps

Are we burgering beforehand?

Dunc - Still trying to get sitters sorted for the girls so that me and debs to come over. If I can get it sorted, we're there. Otherwise its just lil 'ol me

Can I just say that amongst other things we'll be raffling this

Its a one off Jennride Stoodley Pike print in Pinks, a Metre wide framed panoramic presented to you by the [s]tosser who drew it[/s] artist himself. Proceeds to the usual charidees

Right then…

We are sold out!

There will be a raffle with a couple of rather fantastic prizes including a subscription to Singletrack and a massive framed chunk of art (see above), so bring some extra pennies. All proceeds from this and the film go to charity.

The screening will be at about 8:30 which gives everyone time to buy some pints and crisps and get upstairs to the Function Room. It also gives me time to **** about with the projector.

After that we have our own room in the pub with access to the beer garden.

Team JMC will be there too selling their kit and recruiting members. Also everyone gets a free Morf (like a Buff, but not a Buff).

See you tomorrow!

What's the dress code?

Haven't you heard Rusty? It's fancy dress.

I'm coming as hora.

What's the dress code?

Dress to impress daaaaahling. Dress to impress....

Oh... and did I mention that there will be artwork for sale too. Theres a couple of these left...

If you fancy that essential MNPR print to tie the room together...

Getting the first round in then?
I'll have a Vimto and Benylin, ta.

Is the mystery wrapped in an enigma himself attending?

Rumour has it that the Enigma himself will indeed be present. Don't know where they're going to land the helicopter, but hey... thats his problem

Sound check complete. All systems go!

Dress code: Sc-Fi and rubber.

Cool.
I'll come as an o-ring.

Getting the first round in then?

How very dare you!!

I'm a method actor. I'll be leaving my wallet at home.

Looks like I'm riding over as my lift is no longer coming and the last train is too early. Will there be somewhere to put my bike?

Of all else fails daz you can shove it in the back of my car.

I'll be in my van

HELLOOOOO CLEVELAND

ok, we still have space for about half a dozen more if anyone wants to still come along. pay (well, a fiver in the charity fund) on the door is fine. come on, even hora has bought a ticket (although i expect he'll want a refund after he doesn't show up...)

Boom! We've got sitters sorted for't girls so Mrs Binners is joining me. She's digging out her Versace Safety Pin Dress to keep the Prestwich Papperazzi happy. She's asked if that bitch Paltrow is going, as she always eats all the crisps!

I hate it when Paltrow does that. I've stopped telling her which pub I'm in. Hurley too because she farts when she's had too many WKDs.

Hi,gutted I can't make this now,so two more places available.Enjoy all.

I'm a bit pissed, however initial indications are that we raised £132.60. Which is nice.

Sobered up a bit now.

Thanks to:-

Xherbivorex for shelling out the initial money.
Terrahawk for rounding up the projection kit.
Budge @ Team JMC for the free Morfs and stickers.
Binners for the excellent artwork and the raffle prize.
Singletrack for the sub that we gave away. (eventually)
The people who made the film because it was really rather good.
Tom at The Church Inn.
You lot for turning up.

I like the idea of showing a film about an underground movement in the upstairs room of a pub full of people that ride pushbikes in the dark. It sort of fitted in with the spirit of it all.

Nice one Harry! Great night last night. Nice to catch up with a few people I've not seen for yonks, and the film was really good! And I absolutely agree that the upstairs room of the Church was the perfect venue.

Did anyone else notice The Enigma as he melted into the night. He's not real, you know. He's a hologram who can only be generated for an hour at a time

It wouldn't be hora if he stayed for a whole event/bike ride would it?

Top night Harry. Thanks again to you and Mr Moore for making it happen.

And I really am quite envious of Craig for winning that binners artwork. I tried to convince him that it would look much better in my dining room but he was having none of it.

And I really am quite envious of Craig for winning that binners artwork.

It did cost him £80 in raffle tickets.

I wonder if dazh got home?

Last I heard he was stuck in Rochdale after midnight 😯

Ended up getting a taxi to Littlebrough and got rescued by Mrs Daz. I decided hanging around in Rochdale wasn't a good idea when I was accosted by a pissed young lad waiting for his mates who wanted to know what sort of drugs I had taken. This isn't the first time this has happened in Rochdale, they seem peculiarly obsessed by what other people may or may not have imbibed to survive a night out.

Glad you're not dead. I was impressed that you made it out of the pub in one piece.

who wanted to know what sort of drugs I had taken

To be fair I was wondering the same thing until your mate told me about your jet lag 🙂

Top night out.

Cheers to Andy and Andy.

I'm sure Hora isn't real and is just a weird form of poltergeist that manerfests it's self when a group of mountain bikers gather.

If I'd not seen him I wouldn't believe he ever existed

That was great, cheers folks!
Brilliant film, well impressed.

Great to see everyone again, do you lot never age?

Props to Matt for actually turning up on a bike.
Weirdo.

I got lost on the way back to my B&B. 😀
Wobbled my way around looking at my phone for a couple of miles. Great night out, thanks gents.

Good night and good film, even Mrs Mackem liked the film even though she doesnt like bikes. The prints are very very nice, especially the spitfire.

Just watching it again whilst peeling the spuds (not a euphemism). Is that STW and MNPR regular Mintimperial in the trail centre bit with Rob Warner?

Yep its tom...

What? Why? How?

He kept that very quiet.

I didn't spot that but I'm pretty sure that he posted on here about it some months ago.

One of the crowd funding options was a day with Rob.

I missed out on it and got the premiere at hebden. Oh n my name in the credits. Check me out I'm almost famous

I'll be honest I was expecting a average Brit film. What it was was a subtle, loveable, cheerful, endearing and well shot piece. I warmed to all and I now know where to find Geoff Apps house key. The bloody eccentric batshit crackers fella 😀

Very informative and apparently it's on Vimeo for a rewatch.

You could see the passion, the film maker captured alls passion; Islabikes founders passion for one. Ace.

Next time I'll leave the car at home so I don't have to endure a shandy again 8)

Thank you guys for organising this. Muchly enjoyed.

How would you know? You beamed up after 15 minutes!

Also, Geoff Apps knows where you keep your house keys.

Geoff came across as a complete star, especially when he appeared in his tweeds.

I had to pick up the evil ones/family after the muddyfox story and Apps in his tweeds 🙂 I thought of Grayson Perry when I saw him.

Is that STW and MNPR regular Mintimperial in the trail centre bit with Rob Warner?

Yep, tis me getting in Warner's way and riding like a donkey, and a couple of other bits. Seemed like a fun way to support the film, and was also a cracking day out. 🙂

Glad the night went well. I'd have loved to be there too but things have been a bit mental for the past month or so, and I couldn't make it (I missed the premiere too, which was part of the perk, well annoying).

I thought it was you amongst the beardy hipsters 😉
