Stafordshire/Midlands Meet

[SEFFnSARAH]

Hi,

I have only just found this thread as I was sitting having a read. We are in Warwick so could make it. OH is in Ireland golfing at mo so knows nothing of this. I would love to come but we usually have commitments on Sundays. Will speak to him when he gets back and see if we can change arrangements. Would love to join the meet and hear everyone elses hopes (and moans!)
Look forward to meeting you

Sarah

PS If we can make it there will be 4 of us - me, OH Paul, George 4 and Ciara 3

Hi Tania

Yep we're still up for it. Asking the boys, Jamie and Oliver aged 18 and 16 if they want to come, think it will do them good seeing how many other people are doing the same thing.

Just gotta tell people, GOT MY SKILLS ASSESSMENT ON FRIDAY!! YIPPEEEE!

Going out on a 457 but applying for the 175 before we leave the UK, anybody else ever done this? Be good to hear about it.

[TaniaColin]

Well done on passing your skills assessment, at least its one step closer to your dream
See you next sunday

Hi Tania,

Yes, we are definately still up for it!

Haven't done the route planner thing yet......we aim to be there for 11.00- 11.30 ish, depending on traffic and also, us be organised enough to leave home in good time!(you know what it's like with kids and hubsands!)

Looking forward to meeting you all on Sunday.

Hi Donna we still haven't looked at the route, and certainly not going to rely on the good old sat nav else we'll never get there. I can sympathise with you about the kids and hubby, I will try to bring Arran with us he is 10 also.
See you on Sunday are we wearing stickers or what so we know who we all are

Hi guys,

Seems like there are lots of people coming to the Castlewood on Sunday so it looks like its going to be fun. I thought I'd better post the address so you can all find it.

Castlewood Brewers Fayre
Carter Lane East
South Normanton
Alfreton
DE55 2EH

Its just off Junction 28 M1, take the turn off for A38 Mansfield, turn immediately left and you will see the entrance to the Castlewood on your right. Incidentally, when you leave will have to request a ticket with a security code to get out of the car park ( something which I always forget to do!) Just ask at the desk near the entrance door.

See you there!

Hi Tania,

My Hubbie says he will wear an australian flag, maybe carry a plastic Kangeroo or even dress up like Dame Edna!

It will be good for the kids to get together instead of listening to us waffle on about Oz all the time.

See you sunday....will think of a more sensible way of idenifying ourselves before then too!!

Hi Donna, someone on another thread suggested wearing a pink caronation, sorry can't remember who, just up at this time cause my 8 year old has been sick in his bed, leaving that one to my husband as i don't do sick. See you soon.
