December Meeting

[Newts]

Next meeting is due on Monday 19th December

Should we meet at the Angel as usual or travel further afield into Suffolk or Cambridgeshire, maybe invite the Essex mob up again ?

Alternatively go out for a Curry or Chinese somewhere.

Suggestions on a postcard please, well on a forum post at least !

i'm quite happy kicking tyres in larling, but open to idea's. I can make this one so will be along providing TIL passes her MOT on saturday.

[mattdebbage]

Im happy Larling or wherever, Excel is not taxed so will be Peugeot for me

[Kronos1664]

I don't mind Larling, wouldn't really want to travel too much further than mine to larling (about an hour), but Cambs possibly not much difference and Suffolk would be a bonus. Also happy to go for curry or chinese.

[jammy-pop]

Not fussed either way, Suffolk would be good though! Not sure if I'd be in the Esprit though? The demister was bad enough last time, never mind a freezing night in December!

[andydclements]

Happy to travel wherever. Ancient Shepherd?

[andydclements]

Cheers mate I'll pop round after work, I'm due a bit of time after arriving back at the airport at 21:30 last night and then having to go straight to the office to do some more work.

[GarrySmith]

i should bbe there to meet you guys either in the elise or will be in the freelander be good to meet you all

[ralphw]

SHould be OK for the 19th but cant make Larling, Cambridge, Ancient Shepards is good, where were you thinking in Suffolk, the Dog at Norton? can just about make that one.

Cheers

Ralph

[andydclements]

So, decision time

Ancient Shepherd in Fen Dittonn

or

The Angel Inn in Larling

Open to other ideas but we need to make a decision and soon.

[Newts]

Happy with either, but what about Dog at Norton ?

Okay for Ralph, not too bad for Jammy Pop, accessible for everyone else ?

[andydclements]

Anybody object to the Dog at Norton?

If nobody objects in the next couple of days we'll settle on that.

[fitz]

I vote either larling or dog at norton, ancient shepard may be a bit far for me to do after work yarmouth to cambs and back, however pleasurable would be a long evening!

[Kronos1664]

the dog is good for me

[GarrySmith]

i would prefer the angel larling

[andydclements]

I may be out for this, my spine has gone into spasm so moving is an issue let alone driving etc. I just hope I can get the muscles to relax enough over then next 7 days.

[fitz]

Hope you get well soon Andy! - let me know if you are well enough to attend but not to drive and I can pick you up on the way if you wish..

So a reasonably split on venue...not much of a consensus! >< Are we trying for food or should i have something before heading down? - remembering its Christmas dinner time

[J400GED]

Sorry chaps, can't make this one, 'Er indoors has told me I've got something else doing that night.

Bah Humbug!

[fitz]

Right with only a few days to go....

Dog at Norton it is.

from around 7.30pm onwards - no planned sit food but i'm sure the peckish could get chips / a bar meal.

for location / directions.

Hope to see you all there

[Newts]

The Dog burger is quite tempting you know...

Hows the back Andy ?

[andydclements]

Back bad, tablets great.

[Newts]

Can you make it Monday ?

[andydclements]

It's touch and go at the moment, the spine was twisted to one side by circa 6 inches, most of that's gone so I'm nearly able to stand upright but still in pain, haven't tried sitting in a car since the agonising rides to the Medical centres and back.

[ralphw]

See you at the Dog, Norton. May be a bit late depending on traffic out of London

Dont know about the rest of you but I will be eating and yes the Dog burger is tempting

Cheers

Ralph

[jammy-pop]

Guys,

I've been stuck offshore for the last couple of days but look like I'll be getting onshore this afternoon. However...... the missus will not take too kindly to me disappearing out on my first night home so will have to give it a miss tonight unfortunately

Hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year

All the best,

Steve.
