[rich17865]

Me, Louise and Emily of course :)

[J1MBO]

Wouldn't miss it, so that'll be me and Jean.

[vindaloo]

Price confirmed at £10.95 Adults & £5.95 children for 3 course

Menu added & list started.

[vindaloo]

Come on guys unless we get some more numbers we will be struggling to get this off the ground.

I shall be collecting money at the beginning of October when I'm back from holiday so I can make the booking firm with the pub.

[rich17865]

Indeed, the food is great for the money, plus the pub is always most welcoming :)

Get your name down :D

[carguy143]

I will be there provided my thermostat doesn't fail and my BCU doesn't corrupt! :getmecoat:

Of course I will be there, I may also have my other half, all being well.

[Godfer]

As indicated Jim, provisional - Liverpool are due to face Arsenal at 3pm on Saturday 20th, it will be moved for TV...hopefully remaining on the Saturday, either lunchtime or teatime - allowing me to attend.

I would dearly hope to - I have missed such events through my football commitments...it is a shame.

I hope to be there!

[ssizefive]

Could you add myself & Ross to the list please Jim ( if you don't mind me crossing the border :D )

Steve.

[vindaloo]

Steve it will be a pleasure to see the two of you, although I have to say sitting here in 26c sunshine Christmas seems a long way off (in case you're wondering I'm not at home!)

Thanks Steve, it's nice to be getting away on holiday again after not being very well for a while.

[vindaloo]

If you want to come to this meet please respond as soon as possible because I shall be confirming numbers with the pub at our next Sunday meeting.

[rich17865]

Definitely worth asking Paul who is not on the forum.

Definitely worth asking Paul who is not on the forum.

I did ask him at the last Sunday meet & it depends on his work rota.

[Godfer]

December footy fixtures confirmed...Arsenal game moved to the Sunday, thus I will not be in attendance guys. Sorry.

Jim could you remove my provisional?

I have spoken to the manager at the Hollow Tree and the 21st December is now confirmed as the date for the Christmas meal.

I will be confirming numbers with him at our Sunday meet on the 16th. November, so all members wishing to attend need to pay by then and choose their food.

Either pay me at the next Tuesday meet or on the 19th. or PM me for my bank or PayPal details.

[vindaloo]

Anymore coming, looking a bit sad at the moment?

[DMGRS]

I may be being daft, but is this at the same time as the normal meets (12 midday)?

Cheers. :D

[rich17865]

Yes, arrive at 12, food booked for 1pm

Hi Ken, I have submitted the menu choices & numbers to the pub. I won't be going there until the 21st, so I will have to ring them and add you on. Can you PM me your meal choices and I will do my best to add you in, Jim.

[stevo snr]

Do you want me to nip up to the pub and sort it?

[vindaloo]

That would be good. The booking is in their file as the 'Rover Club' 21st December at 1:00pm.
I provided a typed list with the numbers of people next to each menu choice. Ask them to get the paperwork out and add your details to it, that will make it 22 people, just change the total at the bottom.
Pay in full on the day, it is £11.95.
Let me know when you are sorted please.

[stevo snr]

I'l try and sort it this weekend, look forward to seeing you.
I'll let you know how I went on next week.

[vindaloo]

Thanks Ken, be nice to see you as well

[stevo snr]

Sorted, see you on Sunday. :christmas:

[J1MBO]

Sorted, see you on Sunday. :christmas:

See you all at lunchtime.

Steve.

[J1MBO]

[vindaloo]

Yes, looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, meal at 1:00pm, but people arriving from noon as usual, let's hope the rain stays off, particularly for those Who have cleaned their cars (Steve!)

[rich17865]

Car is clean, waiting for tomorrow :)

[vindaloo]

Cleaned the Tourer today, but unfortunately light rain is forecast in the Warrington area for most of tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that Tim. Hopefully you'll make it to another one soon.

Just as a heads up for the others, it's wet here so may not bother washing the car en route.

Get that stat done ASAP. It's not too tough once you get going. :)

Get that stat done ASAP. It's not too tough once you get going. :)
Not convinced it's the stat, no water in the vee and it was replaced about 12 months ago at Atherton Car Safety Centre!
