If anyone is looking for an alternative to the PI for accommodation, the Dumfries Villa might be an option.

Not everyone stayed at the PI in Hereford this year (2022) and it worked out ok. Just met up in the evenings and for the ride out.

Thats almost 2.5 miles away, most people like a beer with their meal. Im Quite sure that members are capable of booking accomadation. Maybe you could start a new thread on how to book accomadation?

There may be others who might consider attending but may not wish to stay at the PI too.

Tim and I are travelling up on Thursday, staying here on the way up to break the 400 mile ride. If any of the Southern guys want to do the same, just let me know.

And then staying at the Fort Dunlop Travelodge on the way home, with a quick trip in to the National Motorcycle museum too.
