=======RAUNDS RUN OUT!! 25/02/07=======

[spokey]

Very brave, me. After attending one run out, I thought I'd have a go at organising one. Plan is this:

Meet at BP / McDonalds at Raunds (on the A45) at 9:30 for a 10:00 departure on Sunday, 25/2/7. Bimble around a bit and have lunch at a pub. Then amble back in a sort of reverse run.

Attendees:
Spokey
Sporting Bear
Blipi (cancelled)
OLYC
obes
mark r skinner
scubiedoo
petclub
bigrah (possibly)
itsadeal (if he's not doing his nails)
skid solo (cancelled)
markytop
MOSS JAG (possibly)
Naughty Neville & Full Pint

Nope, its Cambridgeshire
its also the weekend before what will probably be the next Northants run 4th March

edited to add, please ignore this post and the one above it, the orginal start point was brampton hut (not in Northants) is now Raunds (in Northants) sorry for any confusion it may have caused

Thanks Spokey for organising a 'Not Northants Run' anyway

Although it is to far for me.

The starting point is outside Northants, but the route is all in Northants. If you want to get geopolitical about it, we can always start at Raunds.

[mark r skinner]

Well it`s easy for us Ketteringites, straight down the A14.

Brampton Hut is very easy to find.

Yep.

I didn't realise there was something "official" happening the next week, quite happy to change the dates if that works better.

Spokey - brave man (fool) for organising a run

Should be able to make it in one of the three slow cars available might even be a carb test run for the GT6

I would vote for Sunday from Raunds (don't need a passport then)

Pub - do you need a copy of The Good Beer Guide? any info on that subject you know where to look

Good luck

[spokey]

OK, so we have a clear preference for Sunday, then?

Should we make it the 18th, instead?

[mark r skinner]

It`s up to you. My advice is - don`t try anything too ambitious on your first attempt.

What, like organising a runout?

Seriously, though, can I get a yea or a nay on the 25th, if there is something happening the next weekend?

[Sporting Bear]

At the risk of being a pain in the a**** ...

Valentines Day is on the Wednesday before - Sunday pubs are busy with lunches anyway so car parks are busy add possible "luvvers" lunching ??

Doesn't affect us, we've been together 29 years and never had a Vaentines meal out yet

your best bet is to just decide on the date yourself, this has happened on other run/meet type things and you will end up spending more time trying to please everyone. whatever date you pick there is bound to be someone that can't make that date. I should just stick to your original date and see what happens

[spokey]

As I'm currently "available", I didn't think of that.

OK, let's go with Sunday 25/2/7, 9:30 for 10:00 start at the BP / McDonalds at Raunds.

Now, who's in?

[Sporting Bear]

Well I'm available for the run

[Sporting Bear]

How about a link to Events/Meeting/Travel
to spread the news

[Blipi]

Yep, I'd be interested if I am free when the date is arranged!

As for the first w/e in March that MAY not be such a good date, not sure yet.
