Joint Area Meet!

Recommended Posts

Sun 3rd Sept - Joint area meet for anyone who wants to come but centreing on Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Notts, Midlands etc.

I'll post details nearer the time but we'll combine a bit of a run with a few points of interest, and a few (liquid or otherwise) refreshments along the way. I reckon an early afternoon start but I'll probably sort somewhere for lunch if there is enough interest.

Likely to start somewhere near Market Bosworth.

 

More details later....

OK here is an outline plan......finer details nearer the time.

 

I have booked a load of tables (up to 50 people) at the Belper Arms, Newton Burgoland, Leicestershire. It's got a nice big car park for us to line up the cars and lunch is good value (about £12.50 for all three courses, less if you don't want to indulge so much!). We will need to be in there at midday and out by about 1.45pm.

IF YOU WISH TO CONFIRM THIS, PLEASE GET BACK TO ME BY SAT 19TH AUGUST. After that, I cannot expect them to hold tables for us so you would have to take a chance that some are available (in my experience, not many near the time).

 

From there, we'll have a leisurely run through the villages and head to the Bosworth Battlefield centre where there's a small museum, shop etc, can also have a bit of a stroll round. They sell ice creams, drinks etc, parking is £1.

 

For any takers from there we'll head towards Shenton Station (Battlefield Line) if timing is correct and possibly watch some steam locos heading off towards Shackerstone. For any of you that might want to ride on the line, feel free, website is www.battlefield-line-railway.co.uk

 

After that (I doubt we'll be able to wait for anyone that's taken the train) we'll take a run through a few more scenic villages, and head out towards the main roads around Hinckley / Nuneaton, where people can duck out and head home as they please.

 

As usual with these events, please let me know ASAP if you are intending to come along so I can plan routes and stop points. I know we all make decisions at the last minute but parking may be a problem at the station and Battlefield centre if loads turn up unannounced. Also, please, let me know whether you want to attend the meal and I'll confirm with the pub as they arrive so we are not stringing them along.

 

Look forward to hearing from you!

Reminder....any takers? Only 2 so far....danger of cancellation for the meal at least if I don't receive some more confirmations by Saturday. Can't expect the pub to hold loads of places forever....

 

Thanks
