Hi
Its some time since we had a meet-up at the Leatherne Bottle around Christmas/New year. I'd be more than happy to make the trip from East Anglia if there are enough other interested parties! My diary is clear so any suggestions for a suitable date?
In anticipation of a positive response
Best wishes to all
Alan

Someone did mention this recently (Simon King ?). I think usually was mid Jan and I may possibly be away sometime Jan so would prefer Sat 29th Jan or the following couple of weeks.
If no one else replies we can move it to Suffolk !

Dear friends,

What a great idea. But it's so sad that we are not capable to go there.......... Well, that's what I think. It should be a fantastic opportunity to see and speak with old friends..............

Well, wish you all the best, stay safe, Machiel Kalf.

Hi all,

This was mooted to me by Jonathan Edwards...

We thought sometime in the New Year would be good.

I would suggest that the 29th January is about as late as we would want as we have lost the Christmas/New Year spirit once you get in to February!

So come on then...fire a few other dates to us or we will go with Leigh's suggested date!

Cheers,

Mark

Hi All
I'm happy with Sat. 29th January assuming we can entice a decent number along!
Best wishes
Alan

or any Saturday in January, Alan!

29th Jan works for me or any other Sat in Jan if works better for everyone else.

Merry Xmas All

Simon

Dear Morgan friends,

From 5.00 am on, this country, (Holland) is in a very heavy lock down. Not because of the high number of Covid-19 infections, but that's what they try to avoid. We love to travel to the UK............ we love to stay there and to meet as many as possible friends. But sorry, I don't think that this will be possible the first 2 months of 2022.
In the meantime we wish you a Merry X-Mas and a happy and healthy 2022, Machiel & Ingrid Kalf.

PS Enjoy your meeting.

The 29th January 2022 it is then - unless we too are in lockdown like Machiel...

Have a Happy Christmas everyone and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

See you on Saturday 29th Jan.

Cheers,

Mark

Great, see you on 29th January all things being equal.
Merry Christmas all!
Alan

Seasons Greetings everyone!
Hope you all had a good Christmas…
Tony Quinn came to see my latest Plus 4 addition yesterday and said he would like to join us at The Leatherne Bottle too.
He lives near Clevedon Simon.
Hope to see you all on the 29th. COVID restrictions permitting…
Have a good New Year.
Cheers,
Mark
