Don't worry Mark it's not there. The clue was in the word 'lunch'

I knew that, honest

Although would be nice if we could avoid that place on point of principle. Where was it we ate last year, I can't remember for some reason.

pixi · 16-12-2007, 19:10

It was the White Horse in Whitwell. I've been back since and the food is still top class for a pub

If Gilly stays at the Travel inn I think the Brewers Fayre that's next to it will be good for a last drink befor heading home.

smstext · 16-12-2007, 21:33

or back to gilly's

pixi · 16-12-2007, 23:33

Haha! can you imagine?

Yeah, we've come to visit the bloke in room 101.....twenty people trapes through the reception

smstext · 16-12-2007, 23:40

That would explain why I drove past the place a few weeks back and thought I'd been in there

Oh well

TeflonTom · 17-12-2007, 03:25

so what's the verdict on the ferry then???

i suppose i ought to buy the tickets soon... what time is everybody going for???

cheezemonkhai · 17-12-2007, 12:53

I'm waiting for the new timetable to come out.

You'll be fine as long as you book a few days before hand

It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes. Scary

mdk1 · 27-12-2007, 12:03

Any news on ferry times yet?

smstext · 27-12-2007, 12:26

is the charges per car or per person or both?

pixi · 27-12-2007, 13:42

I've just checked the timetable for the 16th feb, it states ferries leave Soton at 08.00 and 09.20 (the next would be 11.00) so it looks like they would still be running on winter timetable with only 2 boats.

There is an offer on the home page for day trip car and 3 passengers £29.50 but the dates only let you book until January. Leave it a couple of weeks and try again, you will get a deal because it's the dead of winter.

monkey023 · 30-12-2007, 12:52

Put me down as a certainty, as I live on the Island so shouldn't be too hard to make the trek.

Mark

pixi · 07-01-2008, 14:26

1) Pix - Poss 2 for lunch at a fantastic pub again
2) Teflon Tom
3) Makefish (possibly)
4) Scoobychris + Lynn + Little Jess (possibly) so 2 for lunch
5) Cheezemonkhai - Poss 1 for lunch
6) mdk1 & ljk1 & girls 4 for lunch
7) Jason + 2 possibly. Food? pope a catholic?
8) Gilly, Wibble + 2 HC's.
9) sms+minitext possible.
10) Tigger +1 maybe
11) monkey023

Lets update the list then......

pixi · 07-01-2008, 14:30

Lets bring this along a little bit shall we?

08.00 or 09.20 ferry? (It takes an hour)
Pub lunch at 13.00 ish? I will book it by the end of January
Copy and paste your names to the list above stating if you want lunch and how many people.
Does anyone have anything special they would like to do, or go?

Not long now people

Makefish · 07-01-2008, 16:03

What with C&F on the 26th of this month, the RR Day on the 2nd of Feb and the likelyhood of a karting event sometime late Feb/Early March I'm affraid SWMBO is putting her foot down (and rightly so!) so something has got to give and I'm affraid it's going to have to be this

. Hope you guys/gals have a good one though

1) Pix - Poss 2 for lunch at a fantastic pub again
2) Teflon Tom
3) Scoobychris + Lynn + Little Jess (possibly) so 2 for lunch
4) Cheezemonkhai - Poss 1 for lunch
5) mdk1 & ljk1 & girls 4 for lunch
6) Jason + 2 possibly. Food? pope a catholic?
7) Gilly, Wibble + 2 HC's.
8) sms+minitext possible.
9) Tigger +1 maybe
10) monkey023

mdk1 · 07-01-2008, 21:09

Steve, Stamp your feet harder and insist SWMBO comes along as well

Pixi the 9.20 ferry would be better for us as it is a 2.5hr drive to get to Southampton

But would be happy to go along with everyone else

Anyone booked yet?

devonutopia · 07-01-2008, 21:30

I think 9.20 as well.

Means I get a "little" more sleep at my end.

pixi · 07-01-2008, 22:07

09.20 is even better for me

Yeah Steve, stamp your feet! You said you were coming to this one being as you didn't make it before.

20VLIL · 08-01-2008, 00:13

Hi folks....I'm hoping to get to this with work permitting. I may be fixed up as I start my new job in a weeks time so may not have the option to be flexible.
Second problem is I no longer own a Skoda as my Superb was wasted on the Island so I now have a Zetec S dustbin just for work.
I will have to confirm but it was a great meet last year, though I had to leave early as the meet was on due date for our 2nd baby!!!...who will be 1 on the 18th.
Nice dog Corinne, Mum has told me all about him....she's a sucker for labs!!!
Paul

pixi · 08-01-2008, 11:02

Thanks Paul, and it's a she!!

I may bring her along or get Phil to bring her along and meet us or something or other.

I hope the weather isn't going to be like today

devonutopia · 08-01-2008, 13:20

Looking forward to seeing the mutt.

Very cute little vid on facebook.
