Sunday 11th September - Cruise & Lunch
Sunday 11th September - Cruise & Lunch
After threatening to run a cruise for a while now, I've come up with the following idea:
Meeting point: Extra services, Derby with Burton: http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Derby_with_Burton
Arrive at 9:15am for a bacon buttie; 10:00am start. You can get V-power here too
The route I have yet to finalise, but it will have some input from Spokey - and anyone who's driven any of his routes will tell you how good they are!
A short stop for refreshments around 12:30
We will arrive at The Winery, which I have an interest in, at 3:00pm for a late lunch http://www.the-winery.co.uk
We'll be able to choose food on the day, and I can offer a zroadster special price of £11.45 for 2 courses, or £13.95 for 3 courses. The Sunday menu changes weekly, but always contains 3 roasts (sirloin of beef, packington pork, cider roast ham), plus vegetarian and gluten free choices etc... We'll have our own dining area also.
Please register your interest here - the more the merrier
Confirmed:
Tricky
Spokey + 1
Maurice + Andrea
Pingu
Gary w
Mark + Rosey
Brent + Karen
Matt
Tony & Lyn
Ivor + Bindy
Interested:
Bill + Kim

I'm up for a cruise any day before October, when I'll SORN for 6 months .
Just noticed that food is at The Winery.
I can highly recommend it. I went there unannounced and was very impressed at the quality and the price. From a Scotsman, that's a major compliment.
I just hope the cruise will be up to the same standard .

I am down for CITP as well but I must admit I prefer events where the wheels go round and round rather than sinking in the field!
Put me on my own (as usual) as interested please Rick.

The cruise arranger arranges cruises around their own diary. Sometimes there will be conflicting events, and it's great that there is so much to choose from!brilie wrote:why not arrange a cruise any weekend when nothing else is on then you could do both ?

Hi Seansean16tbc wrote:Hi.. I may be interested in joying you ..if ok...is it a all day thing and what sort of milage is covered?..Cheers Sean.
Of course you're welcome to join in! From the starting point to the desination(see my initial post), we'll be covering somewhere in the region of 160 miles. I'll be testing the route week commencing 22nd August and will update the thread at that point. We'll be having a late lunch around 3pm - how long you want to hang around after we've eaten is up to you

think we will just be coming in one. We'll try and spend some time together! Just have to fight over who's car to come in. . .
Friends are like knickers.Some crawl up your arse.Some don't have the strength to hold you up.Some get a little twisted.Some are your favorite.Some are holey.Some are cheap and just plain nasty.And some actually do cover your arse when u need them to.
