The British Treffen is being held at Wadebridge in Cornwall this coming weekend, August 26th-30th 2010 and despite the well publicised exceptionally heavy rain which the area has endured during the past week, dry weather with sunny intervals is currently forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday – and Monday’s forecast  is even better.

The traffic forecast for the weekend might be a bit gloomy (lots of roadworks) but that shouldn’t prevent motorcyclists getting there without too much difficulty either.

So, the ground might still be a bit damp here and there but that shouldn’t spoil the enjoyment of GWOCGB’s annual camping rally for its regulars, nor prevent the ride out – and maybe there’ll be a Light Parade around the local Town to enjoy too.  There’ll be the usual entertainment of rock music and a disco, traders selling bikes and shiny bits and a reasonably priced bar.

The Club has tried to make the Event a lot more welcoming to non-tent dwellers in recent years and the lively talk this year is more likely to be about Valkyries (which are now allowed to join the Club) than “trailer trash” turning up, so get yourself there and enjoy yourself, whatever you like to sleep in!

Non Members of GWOCGB are welcome, especially Wingers from other GWEF Clubs, although a surcharge of 50% on the inscription fee applies this year to non Members as part of the Club’s policy to encourage people to join.  There may still be accommodation available in local hotels and B&Bs and they’re offering Day Visitor entry for £10 as the alternative to paying full Inscription whether you camp or not.  And if you arrive on a Valkyrie this year they’ll probably let you join at the gate to get in cheaper and you won’t have to park your bike off site in the naughty corner either.
