22nd is not ideal as it is the first weekend of the schools' holidays, but I can still probably make either date. Will put my thinking cap on as to alternative venues; has anyone asked Len, who I think was the person who suggested the Lambert Arms? Helen

Donna - i really would like to come to this meet - my first - you decide and 'go for it' you wont please all the people all the time. Which is the more important factor? date or place? Not convinced about the bus links from aylesbury - quite happy to do a pick up there if it helps.(to Lewknor, - be blind leading the blind, but heyho!) Jess x

whilst I agree that the date is important, I would have thought it was equally as important to get as many of Gaynors friends there as possible ? That said, most of us committed to the 15th, so we should stick to that if at all possible.

Any news on a new venue yet Don? Just wondering if any of Rob's suggestions worked out?

Sorry all, with Lyn etc, ive had problems getting all this sorted with the short notice etc........its not helping that i can hardley move! Thanks Lou. Pink...........i hate Don!! lol

This is what i have received today from the Lambert Arms, panic over i think Hi Donna, I would like to apoligise for this inconvenience to you, as I am now back from holidays I have pulled out the correspondance via email and gone through it, I have copied it below in order and can see where there may have been some misunderstanding. In order to compensate you for the delay and double booking we have arranged for you an area within the hotel to use on the 15th and will provide a complimentary finger buffet for 30 people, I am yet to finalise with the Yohan (chef) the details of the food and as soon as that is done will send a copy for your approval. Of course as our other booking is to begin after yours there is the possibility of pre-ordering some light meals. If this is of interest please let me know and I will discuss it with chef and send out a menu for you. Once again sorry, and hope you will find our offer satisfactory. Sincerely Murray

thats brilliant hun we will def be there on 15th!!! susie

i reckon youre right donna they have admitted its their cockup havent they lol (in a roundabout way) lol susie

SUPERB NEWS! Will be there with bells on!!! *Rushes off to find her bells...* love becx

Sorry Donna I have just spoken with Roger and I have misunderstood his intentions with regards to your booking. Please disregard the email below. It was my impression that it would be on the same date but have been corrected by roger that it is to be on the 22nd as he has spoken with Rob. Dont I feel red in the face. If you could get back to me about this or I will try to call you again it would be much appreciated.Regards Murray THIS IS AN EMAIL SENT A FEW MINS AGO!!! I cany belive this is happening!!

*Puts bells away... is confused...*

Bec It would appear that when Murry asst manager went on hols, Roger tha manager saw his 'error', then Murry misunderstoon once again when Roger told him!! I am going nuts here! Ok, Rob has spoken to them again, how about a do on the 16th? Day after.........Lambert will lay on food etc?

i dont believe this c*** susie

the 16th is brilliant hun especially as its exactly 1 year to the day of the 1st bucks meet!!! brilliant,we couldnt wish for a better day susie

Ok, due to lack of time and Murrys b**ls up, 16th Oct it is......they will also lay on a finger buffet by way of an apology and as Susie says, it is exactly a year to the day which would have pleased Gaynor. The Leathern Bottle doesnt stay open, so not really an option.

Strump I am now thoroughly confused, but Mel and I are hoping to come to the Lewknor Arms on 15th as previously arranged. Is this right? nell

16th would be fine by me, in fact Sundays are better than Saturdays for me I could also probably pickup (up to 2 people) from nearly if anyone had problems with buses, it being Sunday and all that

nudge nudge nudge

Im so sorry Lou, im trying to fit in with everyone, not doing very well. The 16th is the time the Lambert can do it and stay open all day or the 22nd, which no one can do so far. Im almost giving up here and most unhappy that the original date was changed. Im so sorry.

Sunday 16th it is then,Good. looking forward to it. if anyone one needs picking up from anywhere Aylesbury side, please let me know ..and i'll get to meet Chunks, him from milk and beans... Jess x **SORRY - opting out - family commitment.
