Thumbs up Bye Bye Dick Turpin!! Hello The Lodge (Country Inn) New ESC 3rd Thur Meet venue

Welcome to the New ESC/ SIDC New 3rd Thursday Meeting place!!

1ST MEET WILL TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAY 21ST APRIL & WILL THEN BE THE 3RD THURSDAY IN THE MONTH THEREAFTER !!

Well after bieng treated like ****e for the last 3 months @ The Dick turpin , I / We feel that it is time for us all to move on !!

The New venue will be

THE LODGE ( Country Inn )

Hayes Chase

Burnam Road

Nr Battlesbridge

Essex ( Scooby crew )

SS11 7QT

This is 2 minutes from the Skoda Garage @ Rettendon .. & Easy to find

They have bent over backwards for me so far & Cannot be helpfull enough

We are also in good company as the MG Owners club , Mercedes Club & The Legondary Harley Davidson club all use this venue as there monthly meeting place

Now also hosting the Essex Sccoby Crew !!

You can view more of the venue @ www.the-lodge-country-inn.co.uk

Angela The Manageress has reserved the full restaurant just for us only , Half is set up for Dining if you wish , The other half is just tables & Chairs etc.. With it's own little hatch to the bar ..

This really is an exciting move , The summer meets really are going to be something else , With loads & Loads of outdoor seating , Tables & Benches , A Massive safe Kiddies play area , With Bouncy castle in the summer etc .. This really is a great place for us , The Kids & The now Legandary Esc Ladies as well !! .

2 Gravel car parks are for our use , The Mercedes car club also meet here on the same night ( 3Rd Thur) They only get about 15-20 Cars , So with us as well the place will be Buzzing

Most importantly !! FOOD !! Is stunning with HUGE Portions served @ Great vaule as well , Last orders for food @ 9pm tho please

Please Please Support this meet , It has taken a bit of sorting out , But im sure that it will be worthwhile !!

Most importantly we can say BYE BYE To the Dick turpin !! 3 Consecutive meets with glass scattered across the parking area , Attitude from the staff , & The sounding of the Fire alarm to get us to leave is just not on , I kow that i'am not alone either with these thoughts !!


I Have been up to the Lodge today , To take some pics , Our area , Parking etc , Will get posted up shortly .

Hope to see a few of you there on THURSDAY 21SRT APRIL FROM 6-30PM

A Few Pics then

You will see this from the Road , You are here then !!


This seting area is reserved just for us


Our little side bar , Or through the arch to the main bar


The other half of our reserved area ( These tables can be cleared away etc..)


Small part of the outside seating area



Large kiddies play area , Soon to be re-opened


Large block paved parking area (80 0dd Cars No Glass !! )



Reserved parking here 1 gravel car park



View of the pub from the car park , Looking over the Duckpond



Reserved parking 2 nd Area is attatched to 1st area as seen here



No doubt most of the time will be spent in the car park anyway

Cant beat a bit of Tyre Kicking

Hope that you all like

Tiny - looks a top venue. You just need Flat Eric to pop along now with a few of his legendary maps to help people find the place

First mention of the 2005 Christmas Party



Apparently the P1 owners club want to have their bash at the same time, just to keep Gangsta happy
