the Date of MK18 will be the 10th , 11th , 12 th Aug
No tickets are aviliable as yet and we will release them to site supporters first on this site followed by members then general release as we did last year.
Please watch out for details as again we are limited in numbers and will not be selling any until May so we can get everything ready to be able to administor the tickets and allocate fairly and work out costs so we know what to charge.
So get ready and look forward to RADBMX MK18 we will try for the best one yet , but ths year we are going back to our roots and plan on making this the most chilled and stress free event we have put on.
Roll on Aug
Post by: griff on March 08, 2018, 02:25 PM
Nightly rates as follows -
Friday 10 August @£40.00 per room.
Saturday 11 August @£65.00 per room.
How to book?
1) Call 01908 681000
2) Say you would like a room (twin beds or a double with sofa bed) for 10th and/or 11th August, as part of the BMX allocation
3) Give your card details to secure the booking - no money taken at this stage
4) Pay on arrival at hotel
Simple! Booking this way will save you money and we have ALL the twin rooms in the hotel allocated to us.
In theory you have until 13th July to book, but since it's first-come-first-served I wouldn't advise hanging about
Hotel has free wifi, parking and breakfast including bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and beans (+ continental selection)
Check in any time after 3pm, check out by 12 noon
Address of the hotel if you haven't stayed there before -
Holiday Inn Express Milton Keynes
Eastlake Park
Tongwell Street
Fox Milne
Milton Keynes MK15 0YA
United Kingdom
Here's a handy map if you're not down with the SatNag

Look forward to seeing you all on the Friday :daumenhoch:

Good idea to release the tickets in May as it gives folk time to change shit around.
This will be my first and much needed MK as i am normally a miserable tit. ;D
Out of interest what is the crack if i wanted to retail any goodies?
Thanks

It is vital that you set up a honey trap for the Groom, he takes the bait and she finds out and cancels the whole thing.

Never considered booking a hotel, love the crack on the campsite. The trusty old van will be coming again.
There are many pro's and con's to both options Steve. I camped at my first 2 MK's, it was only one night then so a quick wipe of the sack and crackola with one of those lemon scented wet wipes from KFC is all I needed. I have done one night of each over the last few visits, Hotel first night, camping on the second. The atmosphere at the Hotel on the Friday night is ace and you get a shower and buffet breakfast to set you up for Saturday. Camping on Sat is great as its crawling distance from the D&D but since the D&D started, the Helipad crew/antics have dropped off a bit.
Camping also means there is no chance of getting lost getting back to the Hotel and having to have a poo on a roundabout.*
*which I hear happened to someone one year.

Some good points there, a night in a good bed can be very compared with being in a field. One thing that’s good for me is having the camper van, it might be half built, but it’s got a toilet, gas cooker, decent bed, lights etc, a lot better than a basic tent.
Must find you Dan and have a bit crack, probs walked past and said hello over the last few MKs, but not had a proper chat, will we might have done, I get confused after a few hours on the beer in the dock and dog :D

Someone may read this and think that there's no rooms left and it will undoubtedly end up on FB as with the tickets are all sold out rumour.

Looks like it's going to be a great party on the Friday night in the hotel bar and the hotel staff are looking forward to being overrun with bikes again ;)
They've kindly agreed to let use the function room just off the bar on Fri/Sat night to keep them out of the way a bit if required
Suggest that if you haven't booked already DO IT QUICK - remember you don't have to pay anything until arrival, just reserve it with your card ASAP to avoid being disappointed/having to pay more to stay elsewhere
