Sat 17 Oct 09: The last hurrah!
Well, hopefully not the last hurrah, but a "getting towards the end of the year" hurrah!
The plan will be to meet at the OK Diner in Tickencote on Saturday, 17 October at some time between 09:00 (if you want breakfast) and 09:30 (if you just want coffee) and depart from there at 10:00 (or hopefully a bit earlier if Alfie isn't late again! )
I'll work out a couple of route options and email TomTom itineraries to people who PM me with their email addresses. Since the days are getting shorter very quickly, I'll be aiming to wrap this one up by 16:00 or thereabouts!

It may have an impact on the route, but I'm definitely going to be there! If worst comes to worst, I'll be a passenger in Lynne's car!

To be fair, it's 120 miles if he goes M6 / A50 and then some absolutely mental roads to the starting point. I can see why he wouldn't want to do that!

I would love to say yes but I'm due in court in Watford for a 3 day trail on the Wed/Thurs/Fri before and have to travel back each night, I'm wary that if I say yes to this now I'll end up crying off as I'll have put a lot of miles in that week. I'll keep my head down for now and hope the defendant settles before trial
No worries mate!
Can I ask anyone else who is interested to advise me ASAP, because the lunch venue wants to know if there's going to be more than 10 of us.

1500 miles for work between Monday and Friday. 200+ on Saturday with Spokey. And another 200+ to Malton on Sunday. Now that's driving .

Right hears the script, good news is that solicitor phoned today to say looks like other side are going to try and settle
Bad news is 2 hours later my mate phoned to see if I fancy going to Spain playing golf Thursday to Monday that weekend
So I have a massive incentive to get case settled within a week but if I do will be going to Spain
So have a good one, either way I'll have to give it a miss.
I'll definately make it to one of yours next year Spokey (I'll make a weekend of it in summer )

Hi Jamezee -- yes, you will need a vest, an apron and a freshly-plucked chicken!
Look forward to seeing you.

Sorry I can't come to this one. We are out at a party the night before and I fear I won't be in a fit state by the morning.

What's the overall feeling on lunch? Multi-course meal, or just simple "bar food"?

I think Bex means She now 'wants' an ///M, not 'needs' an ///M
She had a drive of mine when we were in the Lakes a few weeks ago.
