kirton Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Having talked to senior members of the SVM over breakfast at Cannock I have been to the Farm shop this morning and we have a slight rearrangement of plans. The SVM healthy* Scotish breakfast is by tradition on Saturday morning so the Farm shop will be open for breakfasts from 9 on Sunday, it will be the start of the strawberry season so they would like us in early if possible, if you are hungry at other times do go in anyway. I reckon that early May is about time to start getting an idea of who is turning up when, for how long, if they are in for an en masse Sunday breakfast, and whatever else.

kirton Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Should be just turn up and cough up £5/car/day or part day. At the moment I have no idea how many are planning to come or for now long, so if someone could set up a question table I'd be grateful. We need to let the farm shop.have an idea of how many for breakfast on Sunday morning We have a Committee meeting next week when we can do some planning. We need to check who is available to open bar etc. We will stock the kitchen with tea,milk and coffee. I am thinking of: early arrivals Thursday so have toilets,showers and kitchen available from late afternoon. Friday: bar open possibly late afternoon until 10. Saturday bar open earlier but close by early evening so you can go to the pub,or not. BAR not open Sunday, I'm a bit stuck at the moment as our desktop has the black screen of death and I'm concerned that my attempts to undo the problem could wipe it out entirely.

loserone Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 What is the furthest one person has driven in a Mini in 1 day. Asking for a friend.My parents got to northern Spain from Newcastle. My dad finally fitted a wheel bearing with the assistance of an all night garage at 11pm the night before, then picked my mum up at 7am. They stopped driving at 3am as they realised the edge of the road their lights weren't lighting up was the precipice at the top of a large ravine.

kirton Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 For HST enthusiasts (and pacer lovers) Whilst they finished on GWR out of Paddington today they are still running on Cross Country (from poster Hexagon789 on RM web). Of interest is possibly the 06:11 out of Leeds that leaves Exeter St Davids at 10:44 - basically a minute before the 10:37 Crediton - Exeter St D gets in, but this service is not unknown to be late; I think this returns as the 12:25 out of Plymouth For proper enjoyment if you get the 10:37 from Crediton - likely to be a pacer of some variety, change at Exeter S D to another pacer that will take you to Newton Abbot where you return on the 12:25 HST out of Plymouth (subject to breakdowns, cancellations, modernisation of stock, etc) Fridays1V50 0606 Edinburgh-Plymouth1V44 0611 Leeds-Plymouth1V54 0632 Dundee-Plymouth1S51 1225 Plymouth-Glasgow Ctl1E63 1525 Plymouth-Leeds1E73 1725 Plymouth-LeedsSaturdays1V52 0601 Glasgow Ctl-Plymouth1V44 0611 Leeds-Plymouth1V58 0900 Glasgow Ctl-Penzance1D00 0727 Edinburgh-Glasgow Ctl1S51 1225 Plymouth-Glasgow Ctl1E67 1625 Plymouth-Leeds2C80 2129 Penzance-Plymouth davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Myself and Mr Wingz are planning a meet up at Chieveley services on the way there. By planning I mean we've worked out it's near him and I'll drive past it but if any other southern shitters fancy sorting a meet up on Friday... We could then meet up with Scotland on the m5 somewhere, again, times aligning etc I'm doing it barebones this year because I will be properly skint...
