Has anyone had a confirmation of black swan start date ?

The Mucky Duck??

Yup. Locally known as the Mucky Duck. It was in the opening scene of the film American Werewolf in London. It used to be a “very” interesting place.

I just can't get through to them...

Haven't actually been over there as the last week has been mental but I'll keep trying and shift to June if they're waiting until after the next easing.

Haven't seen any/heard of any other meets there at the moment...

Mega week, guys! Sorry! Not sorted! Will roll to next month!

Why did this get moved from events BTW?

Ooooooh catty! And the gym! No boat for a few weeks, sadly, now!

I still haven't seen a meet there yet and they weren't booking 'em a couple of weeks back.

Will head over and flick through the diary with 'em if they're booking again, this weekend!

Don’t worry I’m mid way through a painful and drawn out house move

[tonymor]

Did it happen as I was busy elsewhere?

[DB89]

Is the 13th June meet still happening does anyone know?

[Mannginger]

Just back in country after a few years away and would love to join a meet if they do happen again. I'll keep an eye out here just in case. Bit disheartening to hear appetite may be dying down though

[Hoofy]

Wonder why. It's outside so it's Covid safe even for the most cautious. I suppose there's the social anxiety but I didn't think it would be that bad? I'm definitely up for it depending on the day/time and I'm no outgoing party animal.

[Mr Tidy]

The Black Swan/Mucky Duck meet seems to be happening on Sunday - 08.30 onwards.

[Mannginger]

Is that a regular meet or just this weekend? I'm still in post-flight self Isolation until Monday

[Mr Tidy]

I've been quite a few times and never been hemmed in.

[McGee_22]

Been to the Black Swan, stayed for an hour and a half and came home again - I've never seen it so busy - maybe 300+ cars????

[dom9]

This is interesting... still no meets and no mowing of the field, as far as I can tell, at the Fairmile! Wouldn't want to be trying to escape the Black Swan with 300 cars in attendance but lovely place on a day like today!

[McGee_22]

Because of the excellent volunteer Stewards it's actually pretty easy to get in and out at the Black Swan - possibly a bit of a queue in I expect after about 8:30am...

[Mr Tidy]

The catering queues have always been a problem, especially today as it was so busy.

Probably because it was the first one in a rather miserable year and the weather was great!

The group I go with meets up elsewhere for catering before heading to the Black Swan - Cobham services isn't far away.

Just seen Surrey Scoobies had a meet at the Fairmile today, so they are going ahead - albeit not in the usual PH numbers!
