I guess this is likely to be an open event as I just can't see how anybody can be expected to control numbers in a public space. I suppose PistonHeads are at least trying to show willing in keep it sensible.

[foggy]

Change of Plan.... It looks like they are now handing out logos on the day, see PistonHeads website

[paintman]

I might make an appearance now......change of plans.

Think i'm far to late to register so i'll just park up somewhere I suppose.   Did anyone use Dixie's registration.....know it's a long shot?

I just PM you ......

[Mark G]

I may pop along to this, just park up somewhere out of the way in the DERV.

Also just to say that the OP on the pistonheads site said 'Of course we can't stop you from turning up unannounced but we've got to be seen to be responsible.'  Which to me means that everyone is welcome but they have to do something to keep the locals happy (and don't drive like a muppet).

Hope to see you all there.
Mark.

[paintman]

    I'm in thanks to Kev.

    Hugh at Piston Heads says that we are all welcome......just email him your details to go on the official list.

   
    PM me or Mendip Worzel for email address.

[Hairy Santa]

I'm going with a bit of luck

dont know what I'm gonna be driving,  prob the Spectre or the Rush if it's running by then 

anyone booked up the CAFE seats as yet - 

[Casino]

"anyone booked up the CAFE seats as yet"

No booking made yet as far as I know.

I'm going to Paul Hartley's tomorrow so I will provisionally reserve a table of ten for 11:30.
Let me know if you think that the time should be altered.
Please post if you wish to go to Hartley's for breakfast-lunch so that I can adjust the numbers for Paul.
Many thanks. Casino

I reckon we may need to book a bit later. Reading the PistonHeads website it is not clear if this is a  10.00 or 11.00am start. I'm not sure what everbody else thinks but I reckon nearer to 12.30/1.00pm may be closer to the mark for Hartleys.... Hartleys can get quite full for Sunday Lunch.

The PistonHeads website did mention that some may be going to the Burrington Inn after the Cheddar Meet which is another option..... food is not so good there.

[Casino]

Thanks Kevin.
I've just had confirmation from the PistonHeads organiser that it is a 11.00 AM start this year.
I've now provisionaly reserved ten places at Hartley's Kitchen for 12:30.
( Booking places for meals on a Sunday lunch time is very dificult )
( if we are a lot more than ten in number it could be embarrasing ). Casino

[WALNUT]

Im hoping to be there, weather permitting

Tony

[foggy]

 i will join convoy kings head lets hope fore good weather

If you look at my updated post we are up to a possible 10 already......do you think we need a few more seats at Hartleys?

As for the Burrington inn i often eat there.....never had a bad meal and cheaper than Hartlleys.

I think 10-10 30 am at Churchill will be about right???

     Tony

['Mendip Wurzel']

The problem with booking extra seats at Hartley's is if it rains and nobody turns up it could be even more embarrassing.

The weather for Sunday at the moment is saying possible light rain showers.

I will be waiting at the Churchill Inn stop, weather permitting.

For those who may not know the 'Churchill Inn' it is located on the main A38 through Churchill (BS25 5NL).

My wife will be there so we are potentially up to 11, and if Hairy Santa attends he could want two meal so that is arguably 12

[paintman]

Yes your right Kev......can't accurately say how many is coming.    We can't win...

['The Gaffer']

Personally I wouldn't worry..  Hartley's should be prepared for 5 to 12 people on the fly - That's what restaurants do. We're not exactly two coach parties.

It could be zero if the weathers bad.

[Casino]

Re Hartley's.........
I have arranged to phone Paul Hartley with our numbers an hour or so before we arrive.
He is flexible about this.

Re timing,    10:30 at Churchhill is too late.
We should be parked-up in the Gorge by then.

[paintman]

Weather forecast looks a bit more encouraging for Sunday thank goodness.....hope it keeps improving.

What times are we doing for the meets then.....don't see the point of getting there an hour early though.......Casino??

In that case we probably need to aim for the Churchill at about 10.00 to 10.15am as we always seem to have a bit of a chat at each stop.

Sounds a good idea to ring Hartley on the day as we don't want to upset Paul if the weathers not good.

[Casino]

OK Guys ( and Gals ),

REVISED TIMES

Meet at first lay-by, southbound, after Kings Head roundabout, Bishopsworth, Bristol on A38 at 9:45.
Depart PROMPT at 10:00

Pick-up piont at The Chruchill Inn, Churchill A38 ( meet at 10:00 ) to join convoy at 10:15.

Looking up weather forcast on Metcheck for Wells ( nearest town to Cheddar and Hartley's ) looking reasonable if a bit chilly.

['Mendip Wurzel']

Something to get you in the mood for Sunday, taken from last year .....
