SWPH Meeting - Christmas Lunch - Sun 8th December

[LancerG]

Ladies and gentlemen

On a similar format to last years lunch, do we fancy a drive to the Bearslake Inn for lunch on the 8th December ? I havn't rung them yet, but last year you could pick a bar snack or a Christmas lunch, whatever you want on the day.

I will plan a route dependant on who is attending (it will start in Exeter or Plymouth)
Probably meet up at 10.00, go for a drive and then lunch about 12.30/13.00

Last year we had 16 cars and about 20 people.

Post up if your interested and I will formalise things as we go along.
Cheers
Giles

Hate to be a pain, but the 15th would be better, for the G's.

[LancerG]

[Japqueen]

Count us in:-D

[BuzyG]

Just me again then. Mrs G working again. She's sulking.

[Benbay001]

Ill be there!
May have to hitch a ride with someone else for the drive (assuming there is one?)
I am trying to get every last mile out of my (already slipping) clutch.
If i can make it last until Christmas my dad can do it.
Going to get quotes this week, so may have a new one in time.

Hi Giles,

Thanks for organising...

We'd be interested but up in Berks on the 7th/8th on another Christmas bash so can't make the Sunday unless it was the evening or late afternoon and we'd pop in on the way home...

I suspect we will be drifting off home about 3pm. Be good to see you if it fits your journey back

[InkyNeil]

Will be there hopefully with Luis riding shotgun with Giles .....

Can pick u up Pete if you need a ride

Starting to think about a drive route
How about...
10.00 at Homebase Plymouth (Halfords/Ocean/Vospers)
Drive over the bridge & thru the tunnel, then right up to Launceston
Then Holsworthy
On to Hatherleigh
Down to the Bearslake Inn

How long would that take, with a couple of 10 minute stops along the way ???

Subject to the 'normal' Sunday drivers being out in force, i'd say 1-1.5hrs tops, not forgetting the all important fuel stop at Sourton...lol
Perfect route for a drive, best bit will be after Launceston as the roads are generally quieter and good passing possibilities....sorry Giles in advance for eating our dirt!!!!!

Unlikely sadly, my daughter becomes a teenager (!) the day before.
