I too have made an approach to somewhere that hasn't been mentioned and is a little off the beaten track.

If they are interested it could be awesome

I have provisionally arranged for 08-May with the secret venue.

I'm going to have a run over tomorrow to firm up some details but the owner seems really up for it.
Once I've got it confirmed I'll post up a new thread.

Its off the beaten track(that's a hint), large café just over the road who I just need to speak to before opening it up.

As I said we are welcome back at Scalm later in the year, but I bet we dont get the cheap bacon buttie offer again, apparently as they brought out the orders, people took them, saying they had ordered, later half a doz people turned up at the bar asking where their order was,
yup for the sake of paying £2.50 a few nicked someone elses buttie.

We spoke with Bobtail as he came out with a butty in his hand and went to order. There were around 6 chaps ordering before us so we placed ours and then the coffee machine ran out of coffee. The nice lady was getting a bit panicky with customers inside and outside.
After a few minutes she brought out some butties and simply placed them on a large table. People in the bar then walked over and helped themselves. We waited until she had brought out more then picked ours up. Some people just did not seem switched on as to what was happening. We did see 2 take butties but did not see them order and they came in after us. And 2 who were not with the cars also took a couple.

Raffle tickets is the only way. Bloody nice bacon though lick

Have to agree it did get a bit chaotic, poor lass serving didn't know wether she was coming or going . Hopefully it was a genuine mistake rather than blatant dishonesty, but there will always be a minority that take advantage. I would be happy to chip in to reimburse them next time we go. £2.50 for a lovely butty and a coffee is ridiculous value for money.

Raffle tickets or a list of names or number plates would be the answer.

I was at Scalm last night, they asked when/if we are coming back,

I suggested late summer, anyone up for a re match.
