Bookings now open!!! CLICK HERE: https://www.audax.uk/static-data/reunion-2024/ (https://www.audax.uk/static-data/reunion-2024/)
LOCATION: Aubrey Park Hotel, nr Hemel Hempstead
Bookings are now live and lots more information is available on the AUK website. If you've not been to a Reunion before it's a chance to have a pint and chat with the most esteemed of our group, and to congratulate those who have won an Award. There are some short rides available on the Saturday morning and some excellent entertainment too. Please read the information carefully before completing the Form and ensure you make the correct payment.
You can stay for one or two nights on a Bed and Breakfast basis, or just attend for Dinner, and you can book with a friend to share a room or we can find you a friend if you wish (sharing rooms reduces your expense, but singles are available). After booking payment should be made by logging in on the AUK website, go to 'My Account' and choosing 'Pay Us' - there is a drop down menu with Reunion 2024 as one of the options.
Format for the event:
Dinner Darts are available for rides to the event
Friday evening arrival (if you wish): No dinner included on this evening so make a reservation in the restaurant at your own expense if you would like to eat there. Other options available within a few miles.
Saturday morning: Social rides of varying lengths designed by Phil Whitehurst.
Saturday afternoon: Two presentations from guests who will be announced nearer the time - one video and Q and A session, one talk with slides
Saturday evening: Presentation by Laura and Steve of SteLa Tandem fame - world record setters around the world on a tandem
Three course set dinner (we intend to cater for all dietary requirements)
AUK Awards ceremony - an opportunity to acknowledge the efforts and endeavours of your peers, and a chance to meet your new Chairman and Board members
Sunday morning: check out
The Dinner Darts are available in the Ride Calendar if you want to begin planning.

As it's been a while since the last AUK Reunion, if anyone needs more info on how the Dinner Darts work, please ask and I'll be happy to answer questions. They can either be ridden solo or as a group so can make a good social ride to get to and from the weekends venue. :thumbsup:

We're anticipating taking bookings for the Reunion (Nov 8/9th, near Hemel Hempstead) from April 30th onwards and details of how to reserve your place will be available on the AUK website.
Saturday evening will be the Dinner and Awards ceremony preceded by some optional presentations in the afternoon and early evening including the tale of the SteLa tandem round the world record.
On Saturday morning there will be some social rides out from the hotel.
You can choose to come just for Dinner or make it more of an event with a one or two night stay. Bookings include breakfast at the hotel. Room sharing will be encouraged with a healthy discount, whether with your partner or another member in a twin room.
Happy to answer any queries.

Sorry if that's not clear, will amend the form. Reunion Dinner is included with the Saturday night room booking, no need to make extra payment.

Pete, some of us more local types might wish to join the evening dinner, before riding home later. No room booking required.

Ah, I understand now. I thought you meant the booking form wasn't clear but it's the information leading up to it that's lacking (and not quite so easy to edit). Thanks for putting the info on here for me :)

There's a little more information about this event on the website but we won't begin to take bookings until April.
The Dinner Darts are available in the Ride Calendar if you want to begin planning.
These threads often work best when the first post (easy to find) is kept updated with the latest info.
No harm in updating the title too!
[ I might well make this one - haven't done one since Taunton, and the tandem record ride should make a great talk :thumbsup: ]
-
Two of us are booked, though method of transportation is still undecided.

It would be useful if the Audax.uk page said where the reunion is :)

It appeared in the 'Save the Date' post but that's now been replaced by this. I suppose you're right. I'm on it.

Ideally it would have appeared on this page
https://www.audax.uk/static-data/reunion-2024/
along with the dinner but no room price.

The venue is now on the home page and the details page so that has addressed that point.
