The Farmyard Party

FYP 2010 - 18-20 June 2010

You came, you saw, you drank, you fell over happy and then you told us repeatedly how much you loved it!

A packed Farmyard rocked for two days and nights, Europe’s biggest bike only rally went with a bang from the minute the gates opened right through to Sunday and you never stopped telling us what a great time you were having.


"My first farmyard and not the last, brilliant time had by us all. Next year I will bring all the club up to it. Great value and even greater times, thank all involved for me."

Dave Fleming Cardiff.

It started with an unexpected deluge of football fans descending on the Dance Tent to watch England play Algeria and to say it was literally bursting at the seams is an understatement. The next time an England match coincides with a Farmyard, its going in the big top.

"Top weekend again, thanks for all the effort you put it. By bikers, for bikers and bikes only, its time all rally’s went this way. Custom show was ace as was ELO and the comedy show."

Simon Blackpool.

All the marquees produced the best value entertainment from start to finish; they were full to bursting right through the weekend, so a big well done to Vanessa, Paul, Rick and Neil who booked the marquee entertainments for the weekend, I know they enjoyed watching the success of each of the venues they had worked so hard to produce.

Mungo Gerry and ELO in one weekend you made an old fart very happy. I have only missed two farmyards in 24 years but you keep it real and you keep it fresh, but always keep it bikes only. Thanks to you all for working so hard to please us.

Ride Free Paul Taylor.

Over 200 volunteers are involved in varying degrees with the running of the Farmyard and each one of them should have a hearty pat on the back for a job well done, so thanks to you all, NICE ONE.

"My hubby and I did your Farmyard Party for the first time this year having been told about it for ages. Fantastic what a great and friendly atmosphere, no attitudes whatsoever. We spent both nights in the dance tent meeting, greeting and dancing it was great. More rally’s should cater for different tastes."

Helen and Mike London.

So that’s it for another trouble free year at the Farmyard with a happy North Yorkshire Police, Council and residents I bid you farewell until the 25th Farmyard, June 17 – 19 2011, Now this will be worth booking your holidays at work to recover, so get them booked now. And I will leave you with some photos taken on Friday afternoon by Richard Glynn in a light aircraft.

"I can honestly say it’s the best bike rally I have ever been to, I just cant believe I missed the last 23, but I suppose I would have to began rallying at the age of 6 to have got them all in. Thanks again see you next year, can’t wait. "
