I don't know y'all nowadays but might come along subject to finding a Mrs c2d approved dog minder!
Whats the score. Meet on Saturday and a drive around somewhere. Dinner at Robs place . Stay over somewhere? Mini meet Sunday morning for those who are up to it ?
It's a busy week though. We are going to the Abu Dhabi GP the weekend before. Then Mrs c2d is going to Bath Christmas markets on Thursday then here on Saturday

Brilliant Chris if you can make it - we usually arrive through the afternoon from around 4-ish then meet up in either the Ibis, Rob's or Howard Arms which has real ale and lots of character, definitely my favourite. My son Ben usually comes down and he likes to get back home fairly promptly so we leave after coffee time Sunday morning but you guys can waltz home south in convoy

Out of interest are there other parties on for example Facebook who are part of a list or is it only accessible on here?

I've only got the list for Carlisle on here.

I do Facebook stuff as little as possible.

I really must book some accommodation...

Will be great to see everyone again, lets hope the weather stays reasonable for people's journeys.

There's a great B+B 2 doors up from me which is literally a 4 minute walk to the restaurant, very friendly couple and have secure off-street parking if anyone is interested. http://www.howard-lodge.co.uk/Index.html

I've just rang them and they are away that weekend so the gusethouse will be closed.
I remember contacting them last year and the same happened then too.

I've told them to blame you Rob for any extra calls they get for that weekend

LoL imagine ........... phone ringing & ringing <whisper> I think it's that bloody coop lot again love </whisper> OMG don't answer it! No No remember last year ha ha tell them we're away again

They haven't cottoned on yet at the CornerHouse

My bad, I should've checked first. Sorry guys.

I'm stopping at the Crown and Mitre. Amazingly, they have parking.

No space at the Holiday Inn, silly prices at the Ibis.

Handy for after-clubbing Neil

Well you know me, Simon... party party party till the morning light.

I'm booking at the crown and miter and will not have a car as I wont be able to drive the next day

So I've a room booked

However...
I'm a Luddite.

I don't have a mobile, snapface, tubebook or a youchat so since I'm also face blind I need a rendezvous else I would walk right past you. I'll tell the bar I'm there. You tell them "I'm looking for Jeff Forrester. What I need is a bar to do that at; and the moo bar was shut last time I checked... I'll buy you a drink if you meet me.

That sounds fair?



Unless Rob is OK with vagrants popping up his bar.

Also What time is dinner?


Not sure If I should go to my hotel bar or some place else so proper locals tell me what to do please!

I can be emailed for this @ xmas2017@jackforrester.co.uk

Me and the two lads'll be heading for the Howard Arms Jack....

Rob/Theresa - what time are we booked in at La Mezzaluna?

I usually check with Rob nearer the time as to what time is suitable for him as he has to juggle us around his other customers, depending on how many of us are going.

Jack, if you don't manage to catch up with Simon and lads, myself and Matt are usually propping up Rob's bar from around 5pm ish

We'll find you, don't worry
