Sorry to ask, but someone needs to be first. Will there be an MK this year? Just trying to arrange things, and it had been announced at the beginning of January last year. Really hoping it happens this year. I enjoy it more year on year

We're looking into it.....

Logistically though it takes people to make it happen and that's an area we're lacking in at the moment.

Glad to help in any way if I can

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #3 on:** January 21, 2016, 01:08 AM »

That's what makes it happen.

As soon as we're firm on the date we'll let you know.

If I can assist in any way please just let me know.

I'm happy to get involved too. That includes taking a trip to MK the week before if needed with a few petrol strimmers and rakes to cut and clear that grass. It was a big issue last year and really put a downer on it for those who couldn't get on the helipad. Even the verge to the left of the access track was out of commission. Not RADs/MK bmx clubs fault i know, as the other field was the responsibility of the moto crossers. I doubt the council would cut the grass, so it's probably down to us. Anyway, i'm happy to do my bit

Great thinking Andy, and a worthy suggestion

Unfortunately the roulette wheel of "what date can we go on holiday" gets spun by my missus as soon as we get the dates for the end of term, so my July / August holiday has been booked since last year - I just cross my fingers and hope I can make it $:-\$

There seems to be some stuff going on in the background at Rad at the moment - is there some reason you've asked this Andy, or is it just a general enquiry

As you know I have a toe in the water so to speak with making/supplying the fire drums, if you need me to do more I'm happy to do so

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 21, 2016, 10:42 AM »

I'll turn up and get rid of some ale, if this helps.

I missed last year due to work but I'm looking forward to this year

Bit of both to be honest Spen. Last years MK was announced on 5th Jan, but there had been a few mumblings prior to then. Heard nothing at all regarding MK this year, so someone had to be first to ask. Another reason is that Mrs DTTDB was watching tv last night that i wasn't interested in, so thought i'd have a good long session on

and the museum. Saw a few comments in the Jan botm thread that didn't make sense, went onto facebook and watched the sparks fly there. Got me asking a few questions in my head, one being MK, as i love it and really want it to happen this year. I've offered to help in any way i can. Other radsters seem keen too which is supurb. Goes to show what a great community we have here, despite the odd troubles that occur from time to time.

forever

I think the way this issue on BOTY goes will decide the future of rad and MK . MK cost money and if people don't support the site it won't happen . skint 1

Let's see if we can make rad great again

I'd like to think that Rad is strong enough to survive whatever's going on behind the scenes.

I'll repeat what Andy said in terms of offering to do anything to help make MK16 happen.
Happy to give up time and energy in whatever form it's required ... Yep happy to go and cut that grass or lend my services in whatever way is needed.

I absolutely love MK and it's got better for me year on year.
We've got to work this out and move forward.

Of course MK will happpen......it might just be a few people camping in a field next to a BMX track but it will happen

If it's 20, 200 or 2000 people it'll be great

I'm sure we can make MK happen

Loving the positivity

MK 16 will be decided on by the owners and mod team we have just lost 2 of them . Who pretty much made the event happen and spent months arranging it and organising every aspect
You can see why the rad team is sad and as such will be looking to see if MK is viable this year

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2016, 06:12 PM »

If it happens, then great, if it doesn't, then I'm £200 richer and can spend the weekend with my Wife and Daughter

crazycraig · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2016, 06:23 PM »

There has been a massive decline in SST . Thats what determines if MK happens or not

We have many members with many different trades . There is nothing the members arrange .

pickle · « **Reply #24 on:** January 21, 2016, 06:24 PM »

Could do a 'Glastonbury' and take a year off.

Arrange it then Craig, let us know the dates
