I am planning a mini meet around the end of September, start of October at the Haywain pub in Little. Bromley Essex,between Harwich and Colchester.
Disclaimer Please note that this is not an official 75/ZT owners club meet,is not covered by the club public liability insurance,and the club accepts no responsibility for this meet.
http://www.thehaywain.co.uk.
Plan is to meet at the pub 7-7.30 for a meal,beers and a natter, those travelling from out of the area,such as myself,and anyone else whowants to come along can stay over in one of the Travelodges in nearby Ipswich around 15 minutes away,or Clacton which is also nearby. Next morning meet up for breakfast followed by a photo shoot somewhere local( viewpoint or equivalent), then head for home around late morning.
Having spoken with a couple of the Essex members who attended the North South get together last weekend, they are on for it.
I intend for this to become an annual event known as the North South get together,alternating each year between Essex and Newcastle.
So if anyone fancies it please express your interest


Date is Saturday 8th October

Having spoken with Jeff behind the scenes, I can confirm that we will NOT be dining at the Haywain, apparently the current owners have decided to sell up,and the contacts will be exchanged early next month. The new owners will not be re opening straight away,maps the pub will be undergoing some refurbishment.

We will still be having the meet though, just at a different pub, Jeff is working on it as I type, new venue will be revealed soon:drool4:

Sadly the Landladys (Dawn) Dad Ernie died a couple of months back who also used to work at the Haywain and she and her Husband Andy have decided that they don't want to continue as the place holds too many memories.

I knew they were thinking of selling but didn't know until the other night that a sale had been agreed and is due to complete on the 3rd of October.
The people who are taking on the pub are going to close it for a couple of weeks for refurbishment !

Anyhow, it looks likely we will be finding an alternative place for the meal on the Saturday night .
I will stick to a pub type venue and keep it in easy distance for those staying in Clacton .

I have a few places that are very good in mind and I'll let you know soon and get it all arranged between Richard and myself :}

Can I ask that peeps aim to get to the Red Lion for 19.00hrs on Saturday the 8th October.

They have asked that can we be seated for 19.15 as there is also another large booking coming in on that night.........sounds like they are going to be busy ;):}

The table is booked for 15 peeps, if anything changes or anyone else would like to join us, let Richard or myself know as soon as possible so we can inform the Red Lion .

Look forward to seeing you all Saturday week and don't forget the Toby on the Sunday morning as well:drool4:

I may have to pull out of next weekend, my dad is poorly, and as the only family member available, its down to me to care for him.
His arthritis is bad,and he is struggling to get in and out of bed, I am getting the doc to him tomorrow,so hopefully he will have some stronger pain relief, and I will be able to come.
otherwise, I will need to be here to ensure he gets something to eat and drink in the morning and evening.

Hope the Doctor can ease your Dad's pain and make things more comfortable for him.

Lucky you, we left 11.15, arrived home 5pm for me, Graham left just after 5 and got home around 8. Looking at doing a fly and drive next time, fly Newcastle to Norwich,Southend or London city and hire a car drive the last hour or so, depends on flight times and prices , train is far too expensive at £155 return,each and 5&3/4 hours travelling.
