    East Anglia Xmas Do

    I need confirmed answers by next week (30th) and given I need to put a deposit down - don't put your name down if your going to cancel last minute

    Place: The Travellers Rest, Huntingdon Road, Girton, Cambridge, CB3 0DL
    Time: 10th Dec Meet: 12 noon Eat: 12.30.

    I've never eaten here before but it seems like a good central location that most should be able to make it to from East Anglia (cambs, suffolk, essex, norfolk). It has a large car park etc...

    List:

    Well all - given the overwhelming lack of response (even though I PM'd at least 20-30 members in the area) we're going to cancel this and those that are interested will head down to the Sussex meet/meal which is being held on the same day.

    No bother - last minute thing etc

    We'll try again early in the year with a London to Brighton run I think.

    Yeah, that would be cool - the motorway would be a little boring tho so those with Sat Nav can lead along the nice country lanes and we could all meet for a meal somewhere just outside of Brighton? I know a few places that might be good!

    If its in the new year I may well have RICA'd my D5 by then!

Also sorry took so long responding but have been in Turkey for a week driving prototype Transits which aren't as fast as volvo's but and unladen chassis cab and rwd on icy roads did make it quite entertaing.

    Sounds like we need to organise a Essex/suflok meet early in the new year to see what everyone got fro christmas!

    Sorry I missed this, mate. PM on bulletin boards is not a very reliable way of contacting me, it seems. I've only just checked it, and it's two weeks after you sent it.

    Anyhoo, it's my cousin's wedding that day.

    Yeah, I know. Wedding. 10th Dec. Maybe the venue was cheap?


    Use SMS or email next time.
