Forum Breakfast Meet-ups

Nice to see you all again, one day maybe we will meet again sometime.

Dougie, you need to let everyone know exactly when you'll be breakfast ready and then remind everyone on a regular basis, up to and including the day before. I'm not saying that us Historic Coventrians are forgetful but....

Yes, Dougie, let us know whenever you are down here again. The hard core breakfast clubbers are always willing for an interim egg and bacon!

We're travelling down on Wednesday, 21st September, staying at a hotel in Leamington Spa for three nights before going on to Southampton to join a cruise ship on Saturday 24th. If anyone would like to meet up (for me the first time) for a coffee in the city centre on either the Thursday or Friday morning, let me know.

That sounds quite feasible for me.

Sounds good, Rob, that would be great. I would very much like to meet Philip as well if possible. Can you suggest a suitable venue and time on either day please. Pity NeilsYard is working, but one has to keep the pennies coming in!

I know Philip is a big fan of the Earl of Mercia (corner of High Street & Little Park Street), so maybe there? As for the time - I don't mind - whatever fits best with your outings-and-aboutings!

Sounds good, any day you prefer?

Hi, For my use yes, but for corporate events, the Flying Standard has advantages of having table flexibility.

OK, shall we say the Flying Standard then, on the Thursday, 22nd? I don't mind which day though, so if Friday works best then that's fine. How about the time.... mid morning, say 10:30-ish? If you prefer earlier or later, no problem.

Thursday it is Rob. Can I suggest 11am, as that will give me plenty of time to come in from Leamington and find somewhere to park. Also is the 'Flying Standard' the old Timothy White's at the top of Trinity Street?

Yes!

Sounds like we have a plan then.... 11 a.m. on Thursday, 22nd, at the Timothy White's branch of Wetherspoon's! I'm looking forward to it. Shall we wait near the Trinity Street entrance, to make finding each other easier?

Although you haven't met me before, I have a good idea from previously posted photos what both you and Philip look like, so if you grab a table I'll find you easily or if I'm earlier I'll keep an eye on the door! I also look forward to it. it's been a long time coming!!

This is just a thought............. If you guys are getting together at the pub or elsewhere around 11am - by the way, that's a bloody late brekky - that could permit some of us in Aussie to participate if someone there had their computer active. Breakfast at 9pm my time might be a stretch too far (Dreamtime would be a slightly more respectable 7pm), but I'm sure we could get bacon and eggs smells wafting past our laptops at the appropriate times. And a decent Pommie beer (or three) would be the perfect accompaniment! I'm licking my lips already! Just a thought.............
