[Kimbers]

I'm in. Will bring the Mrs (hopefully) as I'm trying to get her to understand the whole Lotus thing!

So norwich contingent. I assume the best way is to Thetford down the Bury Road and then cut back a mile along the 14. Nice roads!

[MGFCrasher]

Is there room for one more?

I was toying with bringing the Excel, but if you're there Rich I'd better turn up in your old car.

[MGFCrasher]

I'll come straight from work at Stansted so food would be good please.

As long as its a lotus come in whatever you like Andy, although it would be good to see the blue car now that you have done so much to it.

Following some selfless research by Messrs Nifty and Tentenths on Wednesday evening we now have a definite venue for the 8th April. Pretty ancient rambling pub, well kept beer, damn good food and decent parking.

And a time???

[andydclements]

I suggest arrival at 8pm, eating at 8:30.

Norwich contingent, Thickthorn services 6:30?

[Kimbers]

This is next week isn't it?

[Tentenths]

Correct.

Paul - ditto

Simon - ditto

Kimbers + 1 (?) - ditto

Rich (MGFCrasher) - ditto

Owen - no food

Table booked for 8 o'c Tuesday 8th April (couldn't do 8:30).

Suggest we arrive for 7:30. Access to car park is from side road between pub & filling station. Tuesday is normally a fairly quiet night so should be sufficient space in car park, if not plenty of parking in adjacent side road.

[andydclements]

Norwich contingent.

What time to meet?

Are we allowing 1:30 to get there (it's only a few miles further than the previous venue near there)

If so we need to leave before 6:30 (eating at 8, want to arrive at 7:30) I guess 6:15 should be our departure time.

James, are we meeting you on the way?

Nifty, are we meeting you on the way or at Thickthorn?

Unless I read / hear differently, I'll see some people at Thickthorn hotel carpark at 6.

Andy

[Nifty]

Sorry chaps ... got an awful lot on so can't guarantee I'll be able to make it.

If I'm not there when you want to order food get on without me and if I can pop in for a swift half I will.

(Am supposed to be at the L7C meeting tonight but can't make that either !)

According to the AA routeplanner the quickest route from Thickthorn (A47>A140>A143) will take just under an hour but as most of us suffer from an A140 allergy I'm guessing you'll opt for a more interesting route. Presumably based on the route you've used previously for Ixworth?

We'll most probably go straight there but don't be too surprised if you happen upon a red SE sitting outside the disused pub (The Fox?) at Garboldisham.

Look forward to seeing you all this evening (and that includes you Mr Nifty )

[Kimbers]

Nice weather, clear roads, mrs working nights.....DOH!

Sorry guys and girls the Mrs has pulled nights this week starting tonite! Dammit.

[Tentenths]

Best I ring and cancel the celebratory champagne then :P

James, I live 2 dooors up from The Fox, up the long gravel drive .. pop in and say hello, you'll see the Land Rover there.

[OwenGT3]

Hi,

Just to let you know, I won't be along tonight, got some jobs that need doing, money earners as well! See you next time.

Owen.

OK Owen, see you in May

Don't suppose we've got any last minute additions have we?
