Hi All,

For members: Dave, John and I had a meeting with the Royal Hotel today
to chat about them sponsoring the club, which went well. It looks as
though they are keen to kick in a significant sum, possibly up to a
grand, in return for us using the pub as a base (weekly social
after-rides meals, hold our meetings there, run a monthly raffle),
signage on the website, at races etc. They have a nice back room with a
protected beer garden running off it... not the nicest you've seen but
nice enough and would be quiet, good for kids to run around in, has a
tele for videos etc etc.

Over to you: any comments on the Royal? Any reason we should not be
sponsored by them? Would you be happy to make the royal where you go
for a drink in order to support those who support us?

I need to get some feedback in the next couple of days before I go back
to see them on Fri with a more detailed letter.

Look forward to hearing from you, see you next monday out at piney,

Gary
