Between Christmas & New Year Memorial Arboretum Excursion

[BelperJim]

As a few of us have shown interest already I'll start the thread.

I'm off Monday 27th and Friday 31st so was hoping we could make it one of those days.

Here's the website - http://www.thenma.org.uk/index.aspx

What say you?

[Fort Jefferson]

I'm only off on the Monday 27th, or the following sat/sun.

[Balmoral Green]

I'm in, easy on the date.

[Polarbert]

I'm off on the 27th as well. Don't think I'll be doing anything else then.

[plasticpig]

27th is good for me.

[StuStu]

I'll be in the far east on the 27th ... Apologies

[Bobhon]

I might be up for it, subject to getting a pass out from Mrs Bob. Any thoughts on the format for it? Are we just going to meet up there or meet somewhere and drive in as a group?

Sorry about being so keen but the S hasn't been out for at least a month and needs a good run.

Bob

[phillpot]

Yep, could well be up for this too ( another TVR S ).Would be good to blow the cobwebs out after Christmas.

As Bob said, any plans to meet up, drive there in "convoy" (we're both Solihull/Redditch area) ?

[BelperJim]

We could convoy there, where are we all coming from? Then we can come up with a meeting point.

[Fort Jefferson]

Plan A.. Meet at the arboretum at 10am.

Walk round till 1pm.

Go for a drive round, and end up here for some food.

Then it's an easy run home in all directions.

[RossP]

New to this group, but I could well be up for blowing off the cobwebs on the 27th.

[BelperJim]

Plan A sounds good to me.

The more the merrier Ross!

[Ace-T]

We have family over on the 27th.

I'll probably be struggling to make the arboretum in time, but could make the meal later?

[Polarbert]

I'm gutted but I won't be able to make this anymore. Have a good day out chaps.

[BelperJim]

So who's coming then?

[Balmoral Green]

The turn out is looking poor, but I'm still coming. I want to see the memorial, and will be ready for a run out and some fresh air by Monday I'm sure.

A slightly later start might be better?

[Fort Jefferson]

Balmoral Green said:

I'm easy with being the closest.

You decide.

[BelperJim]

I don't mind going slightly later either.

[Balmoral Green]

Meet at the memorial at 11am?

How long is needed for a reasonable look around, an hour or two? Then a run to the pub.

Presumably the pub is open all day for food, so we shouldn't need to book if we turn up early afternoon?
