The details!
(finally some of you might add!!!!!!)
OK...
We don't quite have enough of us to make it economical to book the private function room, so what I have arranged is for the entire area behind the bar (for those that are familiar with the Shipwreck at Shotley) to be made available to us, with reserved seating.
We also get the benefit that we can order a choice from either the restaurant or the bar menu, meaning that the price range will vary from a few quid for basic stuff through to ~£25 for some of the best meals on the restaurant menu.
For those familiar with the Shipwreck this season, you'll know that they have a new chef who has really made a differencre, with some excellent grub from simple but tasty burgers through to very good seafood dishes.
Timings are 19h30 to order. We don't need to pre arrange food which will make life a lot simpler, as long as we are prepared to accept a few extra minutes to prepare and serve (I felt this a good compromise to allow people choice, as well as keeping the organising simple).
I suggest we arrange to meet at about 19h00.
I have organised a club rate for people coming by boat... thus far I have the following:
Full Circle +1
MoodySabre +1
CentaurPipeDream +1
DTB +1
EastCoastBernie +1
Artemis +1
If you are coming by boat could you please pm me your boat length, boat name and your own surname, as it'll make things easy with the lock keeper. They have kindly offered a club rate of £1.85 per metre overnight.
On top of these boats, we have the following names:
Jomo +1
CliveG +1
Flipper
Chellers +1
Sixpence +1
Alim +1
EMNick +1
Morgana +3
I make that 29 people thus far, with 7 boats (inc me)... so the makings of a good night....
Could any additions/departures let me know, just so that I can keep the bar/restaurant informed?
I'll hasten to add that all are most welcome.... the more that turn up the merrier, and we are a friendly bunch that will always make an effort with 'newer' members. So please please feel free to join in....
Finally, apologies that this has been slow in coming.... i've been very very busy at work, and not had time to think.... we are now getting there though!
Cheers
Neil
