is anyone going to the Hen and Chickens bike meet tonight (Wednesday)? its near Southport/Liverpool at a place called Maghul..... i think thats the right spelling?

see ya there if yer goin

Hope you have a good one but I thought the Hen and Chickens was at Melling and the one just north of Maghull at Lydiate on the A5147 (I think?) is the Scotch Piper. Both have bike nites and normally a good turnout - just avoid the usual nutters!?
well spotted..... i have corrected my original post to reflect the correct place name. i realised i had cocked up when i was halfway there!
anyway apart from me and our kid.... saw two other TDMs there a Blue 03 900, and a silver 03 900. didnt see the riders tho! and i didnt have any carpe tickets to hand out

We usually go to the scotch piper just down the road from the hen and chickens, last6 night was the first wednesday evening we went there, we took our lessons and test across the road in fast track....but we plan to go again next week and probably most weeks after, we liked it there.
If the silver one is the one I thin it is then i dont think he/she is from this site, i saw that bike last week at the scotch piper but couldnt see the rider.
Sorry i missed you, hope to see you there soon.

i usually struggle to find space to park at the Scotch piper, Hen n chicks (headless chicken) has much bigger parking area
dbn<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
yeah thats the only reason I dont like going to scotch piper, finding space to park,but there seems to be a more friendly, closer feeling there, might be cos its smaller...lol..hmmm..cosy

I'm on call for work tonight, so no Hen & Chickens for me. Even the back-up plan of watching Liverpool vs Chelsea down at my local has been scuppered due to lack of mobile phone signal in the pub!
