Right want to get this 2nd Meet rolling guys, so we are going for Saturday 19th of October and the venue is http://www.akkeronhotels.com/Hotels/Central-and-Eastern-England/Quality-Hotel-Kings-Lynn Kings-Lynn :)

We used this venue for the last Meet and it has a decent restaurant (for those that want to eat) a decent bar, good car parking and is very easy to find and is central for most attendee's! :)

By the way, this will probably be the last Meeting I arrange this year, but want to start a Bi-Monthly Meeting next year, starting in April, so if anyone has any suggestions for alternative venues, please PM me!

Could those that wish to attend please post on the thread below and I will add to the list! :)

Just a quick message for attendee's of this tomorrow! ;)

I spoke with the Hotel mid-week and they are also holding a Wedding Reception tomorrow, so if anyone beats me there in the morning, can I ask you to park the far end of the car park, as opposed to straight outside the main entrance! :)

See you all tomorrow! :)

A big thanks to Mark - mrdoodles for sorting this meet, particularly enjoyed this one. I think parking the cars in a "group hug" together encourages everyone to mix and talk.
Special thankyou to mrsdoodles for keeping Jack my son entertained whilst dad talked nonsense to all and sundry.
Love the boy band photo!:D

Looking forward to more next year

Regards to all
