I know that you've just had a coffee morning but who fancies a Sunday breakfast on the 23rd Oct? I shall be staying the night before so I can delay my departure for a bit. I know it's an odd day for you folks so no worries if you can't make it.
I'm also planning to have an amble round St Mary's Hall afterwards... although it is half term, so I may regret that decision. |

Hi guys. Where are we meeting for the 23rd breaky? Flying Standard again? Anywhere is fine by me but guess that's handy for the Guildhall after. Just trying to tempt Ben to join us. |

Works for me Do you think we need to book St Mary's in advance, it being half term and they have Halloween themes? |

Ooh..... fly in the ointment! I've just checked the Guildhall's booking page, and all dates from 22nd to 30th October are greyed out, thus unavailable to book. No idea why, but that appears to put the kybosh on our Guildhall plans.
It'll still be lovely to meet up on the morning of the 23rd, though, I'm sure there'll be plenty for us to chat about. Does 10am at the Trinity Street Wetherspoon's sound ok? |

Ah, I had a feeling that would be the case. Probably just as well, it's a long drive back and I want to give the Hall some attention.
10 at the Flying Standard is just right. Yum, yum. |

We had plans to be in Cov. sometime in mid to late September but I wasn't sure exactly when. I realized a day before that some of the forum members were meeting at Weatherspoons on Thursday 22 Sept, and if I was lucky, I could pop in and meet some of these people in the flesh. Lots of people in the restaurant, many in groups but, and I don't know how, I managed to identify a group of four who looked HCFers. I got it right. We couldn't stay long but it was fun to meet Rob, Phil and Wearethemods. There was a lady there, too but I missed her name.
We had a lunch date with some friends but even the short time spent at Weatherspoons was nice experience.
PS Breakfast at The Printmakers Cafe at the Canal Basin was great too. |

Hello, good morning, afternoon & evening, plus any other time.
I cannot attend the morning breaky, but I can recommend the quality of the Playwright cafe (Canal Basin) for breakfast or Sunday lunch. The lunch needs booking in advance, where they will ask which meat you would like. It's cooked & prepared to order. |

We will miss you, Philip but I knew Sunday would be problematic for people. I'll be back! |

Just to update this - I now can't make the Sunday. Helen and Rob are aware, so not sure if you are just going to head off now Sunday morning, Helen?
Anyway, as it’s mid-October now (yes really!) I guess it’s as good a time as any to schedule our pre-Christmas breaky, so if anyone else fancies that, feel free to propose on here a date/venue etc. for that seasonal sausage! |

Oops, I got the name of the great little cafe in the canal basin wrong but the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. |

Coffee and or breakfast consumed and much enjoyed. I was cursing the weather as it was pouring while I should have been making my way to the Flying Standard. I was soaked just going from the hotel to my car. Fortunately, it eased off and then stopped as I dodged my way under shop overhangs. Great conversations all round. |

OK, I'm going to suggest the 17th to set something in stone. Venue-wise, again I'm happy to suit anywhere really but The Flying Standard seems best to suit all. It would be great to see as many members there as possible for a winter warmer/pre-Christmas shindig. I know times are hard currently but a forum meet at Christmas might just be winter cheer-up medicine.
Has anyone heard from Steve - Pixrobin's (RIP) friend who used to join us?
I'd also be happy to accommodate a lunch if anyone prefers that or even an evening or two! The Herbert and the Golden Cross come to mind. |
