Afternoon everyone,

Just a quick note to say that the Christmas Nosh meet will be going ahead regardless of the wintry weather forecast
Should you not be able to make, then please get in touch so we can hopefully arrange settling of the pre-paid deposit and I can inform the pub of food order changes. Thank you

All being well, see you on Sunday

Darren

Morning all,

The BBC online weather seem to suggest Thetford will receive rain and sleet this morning, followed by a bit of snow around lunchtime.
Having seen gritters out during the late night, it would hint that main roads should be relatively clear. Fingers crossed!

Hopefully see you all for lunch!

All the best,
Darren

[iluvmercs]

What a great afternoon!

Thank you to everyone who came along despite the snowy conditions.
We were two down, but then had two very last minute additions, meaning all worked out well. Simpo and LowiePete, you were missed! Hopefully see you guys again soon, when the weather will be kinder!

Tasty food, befitting weather and of course the excellent company made for a thoroughly enjoyable time.
I've already posted my photos. You can FIND THEM HERE

Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you again for coming along
See you all again soon!

Darren
