So who is actually going? We are seriously contemplating it, but unable to get there before 9ish I would say.

An idea of numbers would be handy indeed, cooking breakfast this Sunday morning for ten that have booked so far, but I understand the numbers for the event this weekend normally result in anything from 25 or 30 people upwards :eek:

So a headcount before would be great, thanks :o

Three of us coming. Leaving Dartford at 7ish, be there when we are there. Will camp and book in for breakfast please!
 
Dave,

I'm confused (doesn't take much)

Am I supposed to be playing on Nov 5?

I was probably 'confused' if we talked about last time I was there. I know Pat was; She kept mumbling something about boxing day then fell asleep. :-)

Happy to do so again but but there's no way I'm camping in November!

We are booked into the White Horse at Beyton - about a mile away. I think Dave mumbled something about a lift ;)

SWMBO will probably be sober enough to give a lift. If you google for B&B Hessett then Beyton seems to be nearest (Manorhouse B&B is fully booked)
 
Duncan (Slowboat) you'll be releived to hear that it's Men In Spex and Blue Bark that have offered to perform for this one, thanks anyway and thanks to Neil and Duncan for the chance to be, as billed in the Bury St Edmunds press, the re-launch of Men In Spex along with The Five Bells, Hessett

A phone call from our MP's main man last week, indicated that there should be no problem with the application so then it's a case of everyone nagging them to get it done urgently, rather than dragging feet. Qeueu Jim (smiley not working so insert wink here)

Roger is correct in that yours truly will be available to run people to places like Beyton and Woolpit, surprisingly I drink very little other than coffee during service, and The White Horse and Swan are both good places to stay. Ask me about the food they do on the night

Andy, our two rosette winning chef started today, and we hope to do a complimentary tasting session one evening this week, with the intention to start our bar food menu on Friday. Some interesting ideas have come forward, suffice to say we will not be doing what people normally think pub bar food is. Could be a bit of a surprise to our trainee cooks who will hopefully be coming in as apprentices from the local catering college, going to be a steep learning curve for them as they only get to play with pretend steak and will have to learn that if anyone wants a steak well done, they may as well eat a shoe

Hope I've covered everything, oh, and good to see Guapa and Pete Cooper when they called by, thanks for the pressie, Will, went down a treat

As advertised locally

A night of Bangs Bangers and Bands should be great fun
 
Very flattering poster Dave! I look a lot thinner in that picture!

We're coming over to the boat this weekend so we'll pop in on Saturday for a chin wag, scope out your new food and see where we'll be setting up.

The band are really excited, we're all looking forward to it.
 
I'll look forward to it, best time is after 6PM when we open for the evening, but then we have no idea if we're going to be busy or not with the way it's been going
 
Well, silly me! I shoulda knowd to look here ....

See you soon, I hope - it all sounds like tremendous FUN (aka hard work)

Popped over to the Five Bells on our way up to Wells today (apologies Dave and Louise for not letting you know in advance) and had a quick reccy for the set up for 5th November.
The pub is looking really good and you can see how much effort has been made to get the place up to scratch.
It's going to be a credit to you both for a good while.
Looking forward to he 5th Nov bash even more now!
:D
 
Land Yacht Full Circle will be there. 2 camping, room for 4 more at least.

I shall volunteer to do breakfast, and shall invite Morgana to be Sous Chef.
