eddyramrod Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I accidentally caught Boris on the news this afternoon talking about 12 weeks. Not looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I’ve been watching all of the government updates and keeping a close eye on it all and I’m shitting myself if I’m honest! The scenes and numbers coming out of Italy are absolutely awful, and they reckon were only a couple of weeks behind them but following the same path. I really do believe it’s time to stay in your homes and isolate yourself completely for a couple of months. I actually can’t believe I’m living through this! I never thought I’d see anything like this. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I feel the same as you Dan, it's like we're in some kind of disaster film and Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to come along and save us, but he's not, he's just gonna hug a donkey and pony instead. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 It’s almost like the early episodes from The Walking Dead! Obviously nobody’s turning into zombies, but it’s absolutely frightening. It’s almost unstoppable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm a bit surprised I haven't had cancellation emails from the caravan park or the Premier Inn yet. Given the way things are going, there's only one thing I can do really, which is call this off. If I end up losing the money I've already laid out, well it could be worse. Be safe, everyone. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well, the cancellations have come in, from both the caravan park and the Premier Inn. The refunds will follow in due course, which they wouldn't have done had I cancelled. Because the operators have done it, I can get my money back. Let's hope we can have another crack at this next year. danthecapriman and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Fingers crossed Eddy, this years a write off unfortunately I think. Even doing something later this year I’m not convinced will be allowed. Glad you’ve managed to get your money back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think you're right Dan. I've been getting cancellation emails for events I would normally be at; I've had to re-arrange one of my Experience Days that I had booked. The other's in July, so I'll have to make a decision about that one too in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just saw the title in an email and was transported back to the days of NADS, there was a Lemon Eddy there (Edward Citrone, if that isn't some kind of coincidence, lived in your part of the world too). Too much Beaujolais (yes, I had to copy it off the label) Perhaps enough for one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 NADS? I don't recognise that. Edward Citrone wasn't me I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Well now... it's looking like this is back on! September is the ballpark, we are hoping to be able to travel, for various reasons. If it does happen, Cannock will be the evenings of Wednesday 8th and Tuesday 14th, and Fareham (M27 J9) on the dates between. Not sure if I'll be able to work in a stop at the Burger Van at Portsdown but we will see. Of course it could all change yet! red5 and St.Jude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I may be able to make an afternoon/evening while you’re here in the sunny* south eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Ok, we are booked in at Fareham, at the Premier Inn. Cannock not confirmed yet but that is where I'm planning to put the overnight stops, both directions. Dates as already described. If there's going to be a burger meet, which is not yet guaranteed, I think it will most likely be Saturday. Having said that, would people be able to make Thursday or Friday instead?

eddyramrod Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 And Cannock is now booked, both ways. Wednesday the 8th going; Tuesday the 14th heading home. WS11 1SJ, Premier Inn Cannock South. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dates are upthread. Talbot and Dan_ZTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A trundle along the coast would be a nice thing to do on a summer evening. I must be losing my marbles/eyesight/sense (delete as appropriate) but which month are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Following top level negotiations by a crack team of specialists, I have now scored permission for a Saturday burger meet up at Portsdown Hill. So that'll be September 11th, 12 noon, all Shiters within reach will be welcome. chaseracer and Crackers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Is there more than one now? The one I remember is called Mick's, I think. It's surrounded by a big car park, which was handy when Dan and I had Huggy and the Mercury there together! sdkrc and Dan_ZTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
