Pre Christmas Drive and Dine 29th Nov

Post by Philrose » Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:51 pm

After yesterdays superb event at Sytners I was asked if another pre Xmas event was being considered.
So a possible plan, if there is enough interest.

SUINDAY 29th NOVEMBER
Start SOLIHULL just off J4 M42
110 mile drive taking in Malvern Hills, Cotswolds and a late Xmas lunch probably at the same venue as last year - Sandford on Thames.
There would be an intermediate café stop en route.

I need to gauge interest quickly before going to the next stage.
So please add your names to this.

1 Phil and Marise D3 BT

I'll probably make the start Gaydon and the Cotswolds is likely to be the area for the drive. Malvern is just too far west to make sense of the route.

If there is no more interest then I will cancel.

Sorry, unable to make this one, on holiday the next day and a nearly 400 mile round trip on this day may be a bit too much.

Next year!!

Sadly I have decided to cancel this as there simply isn't enough interest to arrange it further.
