| Got to the meeting place to find Gary and Steve in 
		conversation about Garys new intercom system. This continued all morning 
		and they still didn't get them to work. |  | 
	
		| Still, Steve's coffee was very welcome. |  | 
	
		| Paul & Neil seemed happy |  | 
	
		| And this was supposed to be the group photo - note the 
		ones on the left ignoring Steve (photo taker) |  | 
	
		| So, we set off down the motorway to the Millennium 
		Stadium in Stoke. We met up with loads of bikers as we got near and, 
		once inside, found loads more. |  | 
	
		| Steve and Gary were soon back on the intercom lark once 
		again. The only cure seemed to be the classic tap on the head manoeuvre. |   | 
	
		| How do you like my pirate headgear ? |  | 
	
		| So, we set off for the ride. No pictures because we were 
		riding (where are the pillions when you need them ?). We seemed to go 
		round Stoke forever, but it was only about 10 miles. Still,  when 
		there are 3000+ bikes, it takes a while - and really really holds up the 
		traffic (he he he). |  | 
	
		| We arrived at the destination and all felt proud to have 
		helped out - especially Norma. |  | 
	
		| We got ourselves ready to pass over the toys - as did 
		others more appropriately dressed |   | 
	
		| Steve had to go off early - so, at last an action shot ! |  |
