Cromer Fish & Chips/ crab run

[andydclements]

I'm going to book a date in, set it in the calendar etc, and it shall not move. Having said that, I'm not going to ask everybody when would be convenient.

I'm sure we all know how long it takes to make a decision by committee, and it normally doesn't work (British Leyland can be used as evidence if necessary).

The idea is start from near Norwich, travel out to the coast, along the coast road and stop at Cromer and have a light bit of food and a drink. We are not stopping in a pub for a meal, it's about driving and enjoying the weather (even if it is hailing).

During the month of May 2010, of those that want to do a run, please specify any weekend (Sunday is the plan unless everybody says differently) which is simply not possible for you. I do not plan to keep the poll running too long, ideally set a date in the next few days.

Hi Andy, shall I chase the Heclers group, see if we can get more to attend, Any weekend is good for me probablely best mid May not end because of Castle Combe.

Will be a good run.

Dave & Megan

[rmcooke]

Any weekend apart from May Day weekend will work for me.

[andydclements]

Dave, would be great if some HEClers could make it. There may be a couple of others from other forums, the more the merrier.

I had considered avoiding May BH weekend, but wondered if my assumption of it being out was correct.

[andydclements]

OK, lets go for23rd May.

I'll sort out timing and route and get it published.

[OwenGT3]

Voted.

Could do the usual route as it's a nice drive, A47, then to Hemsby, then to Cromer along the coast road.

[Dave Ward]

Andy the car is going to Gerald on 29th so I am hopeful that I will be able to come on the run. Will be back from Spain on 7th May by which time I hope he will have spun his magic!!!

[OwenGT3]

Hi,

Checked my dates again, can't make the 23rd as well, something else on.

23rd is good for me but I need to hitch a ride as I'm not coming in the Vectra !

[andydclements]

Or we would shun you.

[andydclements]

OK, potential issue with the date. It's the weekend of the Sherringham & Cromer crab festival, but suggest we carry on regardless.

I'm tempted to say we do not have an option of food on that day without a seriously long delay, but could still be worth it. Apparently 23rd is their classic car day as well, but I cannot see us being there at the right time. The only issue may be parking, we'll see.

Still going ahead unless people say move date.

Andy,

Not if its the right place but is it cromer that has the little train that runs down down to the camping site, If it is the football team next to the little train station now uses its feild as a car park, its warden controlled by the locals and i have seen some very nice cars left there with no dramas, Just not sure if its croma or wells by the sea

Regards danny

[Dave Freeman]

Hi Andy, I have arranged for a recky to Hatfield Forest on the 23rd but I will do that early so we can then come straight on to your doo.

Will ask at the HECLERS meeting on thursday if any one wants to join in.

Best regards

Dave

Note to self: make sure the car will start........

[rmcooke]

Colin, I am sure that one of us Thetford lot could pick you up on the way through. I will do so as long as George does not want to come, otherwise I am sure that Paul or (fingers crossed) Dave would do the honours.

[andydclements]

Note to Kimbers.

Remember it's taking place.

[Paul@thewatermill]

Colin,

Yes I can pick you up. hopefully Dave will be going in his car so I won't need to take him.

I can easily come through Waton on the way.

Should see you Monday at the Angel on the 9th, to comfirm, if not you can get me on 07712874811.

Cheers all,

Paul

11th? What's that? SELOC? I don't think AEG is until 17th. Could be wrong.

[Kimbers]

I'm confused (thats not difficult)!! Is this the fish and chip run? Whens Monday the 9th? Next one as far as I can see is August! I thought the meetings were on a Tuesday?

Brain meltdown....................arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[rmcooke]

AEG meetings are on the third monday of the month. Tonight's is a SELOC meeting. Fish and chip run is on Sunday 23rd. Hope that clears it up.
