East Mids Xmas Meet up - 50's American Diner, Sat 8th December 2018

[Chris P]

My car is not now taxed, so I'll be in my sensible car, I can only stop for a couple of hours as Saturday is always 'Granny Day' for tea time. But see you all there.

So thats 15 of us for definite, and 12 possibles, so what I'll do is contact them this week to give
numbers so far, but pre-warn there could be over 20 of us.

Can I suggest we meet there from 12.30, as diner is booked for 1pm.

[TristanC]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jo, Meg and I won’t be able to be there this weekend.
Sorry everyone.

[Chris P]

Ir anyone is looking for a Christmas present for a friend or relative....I will have a few books in my boot at a 'unique and heavily discounted' price. ....one off...15 less than the NEC price. ...."Tiss the season to be jolly"...etc. etc.

[Rissy]

What time is the table booked for? Just need to leave myself plenty of time for getting three of us to the ball on time.

...Last minute drop out i'm afraid to say.

Tom Dave has been struck down with the lurgy, so he's staying in Scotland for the weekend now.

It'll just be Leanne and I now (although we're not in the best of health ourselves i'm sad to report - i personally will probably not taste or smell much of anything tomorrow).

[Chris Williams]

My apologies also, I'm busy looking at care homes tomorrow (no, not for me) unfortunately my mums gone downhill rapidly.

It was great to meet up again at the American Dinner, sorry I couldn't stay for the meal, but I have a long standing family commitment.
I was pretty impressed with the place, such that I have booked in, with the mrs. and a chum, for later this week.

Thanks for organising it Claire and a happy Christmas to everyone. Another year of 'challengers' lays ahead folks......

[Guinney1971]

thank you to everyone who made it on Saturday, hope you all got home ok after the torrential downpour as we left - we encountered a multi vehicle accident on the A42 with one car nosed into the central reservation on the way home. Hope everyone involved was ok.

Merry Xmas one and all, and hopefully see you all in the new year.
