Blackpool Borough Council has once again extended an official invitation to all GoldWing riders to stage a Light Parade through the Illuminations on Saturday September 3rd 2005.

This year it is in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the electric light bulb, and by all accounts the parade will be the only event being staged on the night.

A special weekend deal has been arranged at Pontin's for Wingers who wish to arrive on Friday and stay in the area until Sunday.

Full details can be found at the parade's dedicated website: http://www.goldwings.org.uk/

Last year's parade was awesome with 103 wings (including 2 from Ireland), but Bob Summers (the organiser) is hoping for even more this time (and says "we might as well tell the council to turn off the Illuminations this year!").

Well I've looked at the videos of last years event, girlfriend watched it too and she suggested we go. So I've phoned Mandy, as instructed and booked accommodation,.

We have all the wet weather gear and the bike should be back from the workshop and fully tested by then. This will be my first experience of multiple wings together since Belgian Trffan in 1980, as biking took back stage whilst kids grew up. I am really looking foward to the run up to Blackpool and the chance to interact with you all.

I won't be winning any awards for lights, mine is standard and probably staying that way, but I look foward to seeing everyone elses twinkling away.
