Any interest in Norfolk meet again soon?

[NickS]

Any interest in reconvening pub meet after 17th May pending confirmation of relaxation of regulations?

[PhilW]

Yes from me Nick for sure.  Came on here to post a proposed drive on 23rd May.  Will post separately so dont  hijack your post.  When are you thinking?

[windymiller]

yes again we'd more than likely be up for that !!

[LV]

Cheers buddsy, yeh I’d be up for coming along for a meet. Hopefully I’ll have a lotus by then! Might not be the same if I turn up in the silver Citroen dispatch 😭 

[NickS]

Great to hear from you guys and that there Interest in emerging from our lockdown bunkers!

Post May 17th I suppose for meet, current proposal for easing of restrictions is 30 people outdoors (hope it blinking warms up a bit!) or 6 indoors, two tables if needed (or is not in spirit of restrictions 🤔)

Assume Bird in Hand is still the place to meet? And we can always take a snoop down the road at Lotustropolis?

Probably need numbers and pre-booking

Resurrect thursday evenings?

[Stuart Monument]

This sounds good to me 

[Bibs]

@AlexBrake - Sound good to you mate?

[PhilW]

[NickS]

Resurrect the 3rd Thursday evening? May 20th? Subject to Alex / BiH approval

 

Is normal life returning?

[Bibs]

Alex popped me a text, all good for the BiH

[windymiller]

"hopefully" ill have ma car back by then !!! 🙄

[PhilW]

I am going to have to confirm closer to the date since it is the first week that overnight stays are allowed & we’ve not seen the wife’s parents, who are both 90, for 18 months.

But if I/we do come will you all promise not to laugh too loud when we turn up in the wife’s MX5, since I am still lotusless😟

[NickS]

Thanks to swift intervention of Bibbs looks like venue is on for 20th.

See you there for 7pm (weather permitting) I’ll be the one eating fish and chips 😋

I’m looking for freedom!

 

[JamesS.]

Do we need to let anyone know if we are planning to attend this for numbers, or can we just turn up? Hoping to be able to make this if I can get the little ones to bed early. 

[phil flash]

Include me in the "Interested" List. Be nice to get back to BIH, suggests life is starting again..

There were always some whose Lotus was an 'ongoing work in progress' so came by 'whatever' ...  and then of course, we're always pleased to see the Merc' driver ..

Important thing is to be there..

[NickS]

Hope weather holds for Thursday’s planned evening meet at BIH, looking forward to it. This is what we are capable of chaps and chappesses or whatever.

 

Appropriated from @Buddsy 2017!!!

[PaulCP]

Looks as though I’m going to have to give this a miss & head north to Yorkshire to see family for the first time in 18 months.

Have a great night guys & hope to see you next time🍻

[Krim]

Hey gents, new to Lotus ownership after bringing my pride and joy back to its rightful homeland of Norfolk from Portsmouth last week. Looking forward to meeting you locals, see you there!

[windymiller]

[Bibs]

Ask to speak to @AlexBrake, he's aware and it's his pub

[phil flash]
