Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Good stuff Ray, I'll update in a couple of days

Hi Steve
I hope your recovery is continuing.

Please add me to the list.
Sorry for late request but I only got sign-off that, following second cataract op, my eyesight exceeds minimum for driving
yesterday.
I'm definitely penalised for late bookings, Friday night Owston Hall, Saturday night Travelodge.


Cheers
Richard

Thanks gents we are up to 25 which is a great number considering the last couple of years of going on's.

I have had to commit to a more expensive buffet than I was initially quoted for, the girl who I was dealing with was under some pressure.
So please dont expect much in the way of change from £20 a head. Hopefully a nice lunch though and tea /coffee as usual.

I have to give numbers by next weekend ( they require 7 day notice for buffet nos.) So if your going to cancel, please do before next Saturday.
Otherwise I'm committed to paying for your meal...

Lastly there is still covid around..
I for one will be wearing a mask through the day. I will also be completing a home covid test before I turn up..
I hope you will all do the same.. the covid test especially.. the mask is your choice.
I do hope that's not a problem to any one..

Thanks..

Thanks Richard, been clear for 5 days now, feeling much better.
Be great to see you, was it at Warwick the last time I saw you ? Shame about the hotel..

Cheers Steve. No problem with the buffet cost - happy to bank transfer funds to you if you're already out of pocket?

I'm happy to do a test prior to travelling but, psychologically, I find it exhausting to wear a mask for more than a short time (it triggers rising 'panic' related to a childhood near-drowning experience) so I don't plan to wear a mask - if that is a problem for anyone please say upfront so I can amend my plans - I'm already committed to driving up to Yorkshire to deliver some items I've sold.

I'm booked in for my booster jab on the Friday evening so hopefully no after affects.

No worry Ray, I'm happy to collect the cash in on the day..
As I said, any mask wearing is your choice..

Hi Steve,

Buffet cost is fine. As Ray said, if you'd like a bank transfer that is fine by me too.

Cheers,
Tony

Hi Steve
Yes I think the last time we met was at Warwick.

I missed this years event, Retrotech(?) and the HiFi Show at Daventry due to various cataract op related problems, but all OK now.

Fully in favour of Lateral Plow test prior to Owston, Lateral Floe is a lovely lady, and very testing.

No problem with buffet price.

Looking forward to event.

Cheers
Richard

Seems I can get a return ticket (actually 2 singles is cheaper) from deepest Kent to Donny for under 50 quid... Gets into Donny at 10:22... 4:31:00 and 3 changes

How long does a taxi take from the station to the pub & what does it cost?
