Christmas/End of Year Lunch 30/12/10

john ruston · 31 Oct 2010, 13:10 (Ref:2782924)

Note from other posts that idea is to have a select bunch get together over Christmas Holidays.

There is a date .Any idea of a place or stick to the up market Ace?

Usual 20 places or less?

It is cheap and cheerful so ideal for us lot!

zefarelly · 31 Oct 2010, 15:52 (Ref:2782974)

I'm easy, but the Ace Suits us, and its simple to get to. unless everyone want to come to Shoreham!

Mrs Zef has year end beans to count so will be working the inbetween days, but Arthur and I are free as we've had a board meeting and declared a Christmas shutdown from 24th Dec to 4th Jan

delta · 31 Oct 2010, 16:34 (Ref:2782993)

That date,s fine by me.Look foward to meeting up with you all then.

Mike Bell · 31 Oct 2010, 17:10 (Ref:2783011)

Ace 30th suits me.

Colin McKay · 31 Oct 2010, 21:38 (Ref:2783140)

30th is good.

Now, all sorts of interesting machinery was going to be ridden/driven/pushed last year,

so what's promised this year?

zefarelly · 1 Nov 2010, 07:53 (Ref:2783248)

Colin, It was only you that managed the interesting feat last year!

Alan Crook · 1 Nov 2010, 08:09 (Ref:2783252)

I`m sure me and Fay can make it again this year, Fay only comes along to try and keep the `grumpy old men` in order.

johngee · 1 Nov 2010, 10:00 (Ref:2783299)

I've put it in my diary and fully intend to make it this year.
I don't think there's enough grumpy old men going?

delta · 1 Nov 2010, 12:25 (Ref:2783376)

Brilliant John.We can discuss rolling starts.

I can't guarantee we 'get' everybody, but I know I've issued a fair number of 'drive through' penalties this year. I may have missed you!

You're right, from my cosy leather & walnut gentleman's club on wheels I don't recall seeing many of the promised bikers!

Tell you what, if it helps encourage others I'll leave a window open

zefarelly · 1 Nov 2010, 13:03 (Ref:2783403)

I'd brave it on the scooter, but not with Arthur on the back . . . I suppose I could stick it on the back of the motorhome and do the last 3 miles!!!!

delta · 1 Nov 2010, 13:13 (Ref:2783414)

I see Julian posted earlier.Wonder if he would like to come in on rolling start discussion at the bash.

.Thinking about it perhaps we had better put a ban on racing issues."Not fair on John"

Alan Crook · 1 Nov 2010, 13:20 (Ref:2783419)

We can have a discussion on rolling starts, me and Fay will join sides with John. I think it would be a good idea as you have drivers, C of C and starter present.

Thank you Fay and Alan. I forsee much abuse, even if it IS the season of goodwill!

Alan Crook · 1 Nov 2010, 13:37 (Ref:2783432)

Tis the season of goodwill to all MEN so I suppose we can save all the abuse for Fay !!!

You're on your own Alan, I'm not that brave!

zefarelly · 1 Nov 2010, 17:29 (Ref:2783552)

can we have a rolling start on lunch?

We could try a rolling start when the bill appears

john ruston · 2 Nov 2010, 11:19 (Ref:2783968)

Does this make Hot Topic spot as it is open for all to attend?

Need some idea of numbers as am assuming about 20.

delta · 2 Nov 2010, 12:14 (Ref:2783983)

put me down for 3/4 please John.

Only threequarters? Are you not all there, Ian? Or is it because it's christmas?

zefarelly · 2 Nov 2010, 18:40 (Ref:2784125)

he's not all there. not many of us are I fear!

SZRacer · 2 Nov 2010, 19:04 (Ref:2784134)

Put me down for 2 - Myself, plus Sam, the fruit of my loins...

Joe, if your son is coming, perhaps the two of them can discuss the merits of Ultimate Humungosaur vs. Spider Monkey (don't ask, it seems as heated a discussion as Dunlps vs. Avons for a 4/5 year old...)

Shame it can't be somewhere in a local pub near me (Cotswolds) - Then we could have a rolling finish...!
