Great - look forward to meeting you! Fancy posting up details on the Evo board? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Grahame - have you mentioned this to the RS boys? I guess we can recruit next Tuesday...

Richard

Richard,

The more the merrier, but we may need to look for a larger pub for lunch! Or alternativley, we split between the two pubs in the village.

Of course I will Richard http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I was just gonna ask this... how big is the pub? If we are inviting other forum members this may be a big prob, not sure that splitting the group would work, but if its the only option...

For anyone who needs a map of where the initial meeting point is I have uploaded one here:

The pub will seat about 20 in the restaurant section, and about another 10 in the 'main' bit - but expect there to be locals in that bit! I guess if it goes over 20 then we have to split with some going to the other pub.

Grahame, it might be an idea to book The Eight Bells for 15-20 now! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Cheers
Richard

Hope to be there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Does this mean you're joining us? bdrought?

Richard
Not taking the bait - but as you raised the subject a couple of weeks ago -

Dave, It is a shame your not coming along. I know what you mean about the speeds and driving manor on some of these meets, It is just a matter of time......
But this is a leisurely drive and lunch at some country pubs, so come along and drive at your own pace.
So drive carefully guys, It's not a race!!

Rob

Ok, I've booked the whole pub restaurant for Sunday lunch (20 people - it's maximum capacity). The landlord is going to send me the menu. Any vegetarians out there? The pub's car park has parking for about 17 cars, but we can also use the village hall car park over the road, so should be plenty of room.

Things are shaping up nicely...

Hi Grahame,
Put me down for a vegetarian menu please http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

See you there

Rob

Richard - add another two to the list me and Mr T-S, not sure if we'll be 1 or 2 cars but 2 for lunch.

Dave - very sorry to hear that. I wasn't aware of this happening on our last run - as you'll have seen from my posting in the other forum I neither approve of nor drive in that way.

Glad to hear Carolyn and you will be joining us for at least some of the day - Grahame's keeping a list of the numbers. GM: How many so far? Seems to be heading up nicely! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I'll be able to 'show off' my PPP-equipped car by then too http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Richard,

I make it 19 people who've replied so far (includes 6 from the EVO board). Of course, some people might bring a friend/spouse/partner.

Grahame

Hi Graham

I said I was coming along at the beginning of the thread also a friend would like to join me so add another place if it's convenient. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Cheers
Pete B.

Hi Grahame
Please put me down for a lunch (meat variety !) and her indoors is trying to get Sunday off so may need another - will let you know asap. (mentioning her reminds me of the old one about "whats the difference between a terrorist and my wife ? - you can negotiate with a terrorist.)
Stan

Still hope there's room at the inn?
Please put me down if there is another space.
Regards

Nick

I make it 22 people (includes partners/spouses/friends where indicated) which is about the limit for the pub restaurant, although there may be some room in the bar area if there aren't too many locals!! There is another pub in the same village which could probably take some "overflow".

Grahame

Good stuff! PPP going on tomorrow... and then the RS meet is in Scole tomorrow night http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif Great timing http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif Grahame - fancy meeting up at 7pm at Tesco's as before (can't make it earlier, sorry)?

Richard

Reminder to everyone going.

Grahame,

Please add 2 more for lunch & a sedate drive in the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Hugh (+ MickeyG - if cleared with the Wife!)

Not looking good at the moment http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif In-laws spec'd to come & I ought to be there 'cos I want the lawn mower they're giving us http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

If, of course, there is a change of plan, then sprog & I will come along - wife is primed http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Here is the menu for Sunday lunch; 2 courses for £7.50:

Roast rib of beef with Yorkshire and veg.

Roast leg of lamb with Yorkshire and veg.

Roast pork loin stuffed with herbs & peaches + veg.

Fresh salmon fillet, Dijonnaise & tarragon sauce + veg.

Vegetarian option (not specified)

Choice of dessert

You can order in advance, if you want to be sure your choice is available...(probably advisable as we've reached the limit on the number of people the pub can cater for).

Grahame

MMmm... Roast Leg of Lamb with mint sauce and veg please http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Grahame and I are doing a run tonight to check out the other pub and do a finally check on parking etc. Looking good for Sunday!

Richard

Lamb for me too (one only coming), or beef as 2nd choice ... or pork ..... fooooooood.
Get rid of this rubbish weather by Sunday as well !!!!
Stan

Count me and my wife in - if you have any space! If not, I guess we will follow you around with sandwiches.

Just for my info - being a newbie scooby owner of nearly a week now - I just wanted to check that the offer was open to everyone, and to ask if there any charge for this jaunt.

Cheers,

Philip.

Hey Pete, when and where are we going to meet on Sunday 22nd???

Colin and Jamie
