SteveD this is a very unpleasant situation you've had to endure, but I read in your words that you mention, who will trust me or one of my organized events... and I need to stop you there and reassure you that no way this could have been your fault.

I was not there in person but for what I have read in the Wales 2015 ride section what you and the lads organized was top notch, everyone has thoroughly enjoyed themselves and for a turnout of 25+ riders, this cannot have been other than a successful event. I congratulate you and so do the chaps that attended.

Perhaps next year, you could speak with the site owners to some sort of loss insurance even if it cost a few pennies more. That way they could refund the value of stolen property and of course they've got to hire the site to more sensible people and not a bunch of piss artists.

Once again sorry this has happened to you and I would suggest to all those who attended if they would be prepared to do a whip around in order to recover the value of �200 that SteveD has lost, �200 less my own contribution of �50 = �150 / 25 that would be �6 per head.

Do you all agree to contribute to this? if so I suggest SteveD let us have his paypal account here and everyone drops him �6.00 and I will contribute my �50

Deal?
