Not trying to be a wuss...but just trying to make it easier for anyone..

I'm saying meet at the Cinema/Pub again.

This is easier to find than out in the middle of no where.

Even if we just have a pint.. or not even go in...

Plus theres an excuse for a drive about too


Lets meet up around 7pm - 7:30pm then, that way we wont get to the Curry house after 10pm again.... or whatever time it was.. lol

J is correct.

it is going to be much easier to meet at the usual place and travel in convoy to the curry pub (just remember how many of you actually found it last time LOL )

Other than that we could meet at Donington services and travel to the curry pub from there. This may make it easier for those travelling from further afield.

Anyway....until somebody suggests otherwise. We will meet at the Master Locksmith pub...same as usual...7:00-7:30pm.

I will not be able to make it over until 8:00pm but I'll ring and find out where you've got to.

Ian.

OK.

Its tuesday night... and we still haven't a general concensus on where to meet.

I imagine some folks will meet at the Master Locksmiths in derby as planned...and maybe others will meet at Donington Park services on the M1 (J 23A)

I few nuggets of information to help folks find their way.

How to find Donington Services:

Phil,

Me, Mike (Gridlock) and Steve (can't remember his user name) will be heading off from my place about 18:45 so we should be there between 19:00 and 19:30 so you won't be on your own.

I'm passing on curry due to diet . I could be convinced but I'm trying to be good

You know me J....never know what I'm doing from one minute to the next LOL

Anyway...it seems folks are traveling from slightly further afield. I figured it may make things easier for folks traveling the M1 route....but maybe I've just screwed up.

Hopefully see you all later (if you don't get confused about where to meet and where to go)

Guys,

My day is going **** up by the minute!!

Started with water all over kitchen floor, compressor packed up on Fridge/Freezer unit.
Managed to save most food but the beer got warm!!

Insurance Co. don't wanna know as the appliance is over 5 years old and it's considered general wear and tear + there is a £50 excess if I claim for the food lost. The Barstewards!!!

Anyway, with the delayed start, my working day doesn't look like finishing until at earliest 7pm so I won't make the Donno. meet up, Paul etc.

I'll see how things go and may meet up at the Curry Pub but in all this chaos I ain't promising anything.

Cya later
Chris.

Sorry again guys,

Hope y'all had a good one!

I could have made it over but the combination of tiredness and foul mood swung it. Just had a Pizza and a couple of Cans as a poor curry substitute.

Cya at the next one.
Chris.

I hope that fun was had by all (that turned up!).

I was supposed to be in London this week, so never planned coming - but met Etheridge-Bird in McDonalds on the way up!

Sounds like a BuN meet could be just the ticket for the future!
