For the past couple of years, the Midlands Massiv's variable and floating membership has got together on New Year's Day for a post-Xmas wind-down.  This has varied from spending much of the day shuttling between two transport caffs on the A5, to the bemusement of the staff, to visiting the Severn Valley Railway and enjoying some evening scran in Bridgnorth.

 

Who's free on 02.01.17?

Me!

[dollywobbler]

Quite probably, though we are going to a NYE party. I guess this is where not drinking has its advantages...

Not a hope in hell - who's copped for big fat A shifts 24th, 26th, 27th, December and  1th and 2rd January

[bub2006]

I don't know yet.

[Lord Sterling]

I'll actually be there. This time fully bearded, black coat and in a BMW rather than a Sterling.

[chaseracer]

But where will we be?  Ideas welcome.

Tenby, Pembrokeshire ! There is a New Years Day swim for starters !!

[Lord Sterling]

I say Severn Valley railway and this time taking a proper long trip on the train going as far as it goes and maybe a mooch around the town it stops in? In fact, I could just leave the car at home and meet yous on the train.

 

Alternatively Ludlow seems a nice place but dunno if it's gonna be dead on NYE.

[chaseracer]

^ Shit.  There goes the neighbourhood...   

[dollywobbler]

I'm not actually a huge fan of travelling on steam trains. Quite enjoyed last year just mooching at Bridgnorth.

[red5]

I can pop out for a bit NYD.

That is where I will be!

 

I can always lend anybody a Visa who has not got one for the event!

[Lord Sterling]

Edited my above post so it makes sense + an added thought.

 

Maybe the gathered lot could start at Kidderminster Severn Valley, pop into Bewdley, meet myself/Red5 and any other local shiters here then carry onto a further destination via steam train? Maybe until it's destination, mooch around town and have some scran?

[Junkman]

Not entirely sure whether I'd be fit for interrogation on NYD.

I usually lie in repose on that day.

Hence it's a better not from me.

[Skizzer]

I like the idea if it's not too far from me. Depends a bit, on, er, something. Maybe.

 

Edit: that sounds really half-arsed even by my standards. Sorry.

[Junkman]

You go and fix your Rancho.

[Skizzer]

Good point, well put.

[anonymous user]

With your fleet I suspect you could loan each of us a car of some sort

?

[dollywobbler]

Did anything get decided? This appears to be tomorrow.

[Pillock]

I'm out, we're stopping over NYE and I don't intend on being fit to drive for much of the following day.

[Inspector Morose]

Postponed till the second, venue to be decided after celebrationary breakfast at the usual establishment.

 

Or

 

SVR at Kiddiminster station. Like last year but a different location to mooch around.

 

Followed by cheese and nibbles.

[dollywobbler]

Ok. I'm feeling not entirely well, but an amble around a train station might be fun.

[Inspector Morose]

Or we just pile up at yours and pretend to help "fix" the 2cv a bit.

You supply tea.

[bub2006]

I'm at work. Oh well

At first I thought Assmnyd was a Welsh mountain.
