Well it seems the sun shining has inspired quite a few of you to buy tickets recently for our event of the year. Just make sure you do so before the cut off date which this year will be Monday, 27th August. Don't want any of you being disappointed.
As for music, there are 3 bands over the weekend as well as a DJ on both nights so hopefully we'll have something to suit everyone, as well as the surprise cabaret!
Could I just emphasise that only current members (full or standard) can attend this event along with a guest. As per the event page, please be aware that previously banned members will not be allowed to attend under any circumstances and tickets purchased for any such members will be non-refundable. We only mention this as the question was raised at the Rock & Bike Show at Squires this past weekend. Any queries please contact myself or another member of the KISS Team.

The 2nd BM KISS Rally will be held from 31st August to 2nd September 2012 at the same venue as last year - Stoke Prior Sports and Country Club, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire which is now under new management. Ticket price has increased slightly due to overheads increasing but we have kept this to a minimum and tickets are £13 each and available to members plus their guest only. There will be no admittance to previously banned members who have had a guest ticket purchased for them so please don’t make us turn anyone away.Tickets are not permitted to be passed around or sold as the KISS Rally is a private rally (invitation only as it were) unlike Farmyard for instance which is public. This is because different H&S rules apply for both, insurance is different for instance, public being very much more expensive and would impact on the price you pay just for one example. If anybody is unsure about whether they can go or they need more than 1 ticket, then its best to leave it until later and you know for sure what your circumstances are.Entertainment: There is one band plus DJ on the Friday with some daft stuff thrown inbetween and 2 bands plus DJ on the Saturday (as well as a special appearance from certain BM members you won't want to miss provided the required amount is raised for charity). We are looking into other entertainment/activities as well dependent on ticket sales and funding but any "extras" will be announced much closer to the date. Non-ticket holding members are welcome to join us for the day for the ride-outs etc. if they find that's all they can manage (details to be announced closer to the date and subject to change due to weather conditions on the day). However, wristbands/tickets will be required for entry to the venue for evening entertainment etc. as well as camping, any other activities during the day and any special price menu set up for us by the venue. Tickets were on sale last year up to a couple of days before the event and we will let you know well in advance of any cut-off point this year too so that no-one misses out. If you have any questions regarding tickets/t-shirts etc. or any special requests please PM a member of the KISS team and one of us will get back to you. There are FOUR of us organising this event for you (Boss Mom, Brummie Jackie, Scorpio54 and jpharley), and each of us are responsible for various aspects of the rally but if you get in touch with any of us I'm sure the relevant person will get an answer to you. With the success of last year's rally it is quite possible that this year will be a sell-out so we suggest buying tickets as soon as you are able rather than risk missing out. We are offering t-shirts, hoodies (zipped or standard) and vest tops this year BEFORE the rally and hopefully some of you will already have spotted the design/colouring on myself, BJ, JP or Ken over the last couple of months at events. All merchandise is black with very bright orange logo/lettering (pic on Boss Mom’s profile).We don’t care how you get there either, bike, car or camel is fine, however cars will only be permitted onto the camping area whilst you unload, then they will have to be parked in the car park, blue badge holders please contact a member of the team if you need anything different.Finally, if anyone has a disabled profile rest assured you can still purchase a ticket via the event page and we will still be aware of your attendance. Tickets and merchandise available here:

I have just noticed a post on the BM Face book page about buying rally clothing on the gate you can ONLY ORDER it on the gate. if you have not pre ordered you clothing via the events page you will not have it until AFTER the rally and you will have a postal charge as well so please pre order now.

I will be resuming my usual "glamping" role for KISS rather than the reduced version I had at Squires, so hoping to have time to test out my cooker and other bits and pieces!
I'm seriously looking forward to the "famous" brekkie
I hope it's not too early though
I might be a bit "late" Saturday morning
If everything goes according to plan
You have just 2 WEEKS to get your tickets ordered so if you dont have them yet best get over to the events page and click on the link there is NO PAY ON THE GATE hope to see you all there.
Team Kiss
All ticket/merchandise orders need to be received by 10am on Monday 27th August which is the cut-off point.
You will be able to order merchandise at the rally, but will need to pay P&P charges on top and have items sent out to you so better to get the orders in beforehand and collect them over the weekend.
Any queries regarding tickets/t-shirts please contact Boss Mom.
