Yes please, Chelmsford would be great. Can I suggest the Park & Ride, you only have to pay for the bus ride into town, which I think is about £1 each way. The buses leave every 15 mins and will drop you off about 100 yards from the venue used last time.


July 12th not good for me though, I`m going to a posh garden party in Cobham.

Liz, I'm happy to come on the train with you...we've done it before with a football crowd, Chelmsford will be easy LOL

Just depends on the date...

23rd or 30th... Brilliant!

Damn, can't do either of those weekends, 23rd I'm on reserve for work and 30th I'm working anyway....

looks like 30th August is the favorite so far......sorry Teresa :-(( where you working away, is it driving distance to chelmsford lol

Webster I will pm you.

Fi

thanks for pm...watch this space for venue etc

nudge, last chance to vote...will go with majority at close of play today

at the moment 23rd or 30th are good for me

Sue

ok 30 August is the date, now we need a venue. Tina, Soft as, Jules what do you think?

We need a venue that is close enough to the town centre for those who are coming on the train, preferably with its own parking for those who are driving, Somewhere that sells food including at least one vegetarian option, possibly that allows children and somewhere with easy access, not loads of stairs etc so that less mobile GRers can be there too

thats not too much to ask is it?

Hi Webster...

If I am still in this land of the living I would like to meet up with one and all of you.

the 30th is fine by me....
JoyceP

Hi Jo...

30th ok with me too as it stands.

Don't know many places in town only the two slightly out of town I mentioned before..

Will keep an eye on the thread n see what others come up with..

thats great Joyce and thanks Jules, i wonder is there a bus from centre of town to the 2 pubs you mentioned earlier as this may be a good compromise?

Morning Girls...

Not thinking straight at the moment but I have remembered that on the 29th I have to have a tooth extracted surgically....the dentist said I'll be swollen n bruised for a few days so depending on how I feel depends on whether I'm there or not.

Re the two places Ihave mentioned....

The Queen B & Seabright Barns, there are busses which pass both, can find out more info if you want..... xx

if you dont mind Jules that would be great

No Probs Jo....I'll let you know ASAP.

I drive pass the Seabright everyday on the way to work n back n saw a 'Number 51' pass it yesterday, n the bus stop is right on the entrance to the carpark...!!

I'll make a few phone calls over the next day or two n find out if the places are suitable for our requirements xxx

Glad you have settled on the date Jo,. I am in ireland until 26th Aug, so can make it on the 30th. Len.

Jo, do we have any numbers (aprox) before I make any calls.

xx

ok ladies and gents, there are 12 expressions of interest on page one of this thread. Jules is about to ring round some venues for us.....SO....if you cant make the 30th August can you let me know and i will remove your name and if you have been watching this thread but have not added now is the time to jump up and down waving your arms if you want to come lolol
