Thank you Craig, you've been added in for the Saturday.
One place left for the Sunday, plus if anyone wants to act as reserve for one or both days, let me know

Just under three weeks to go (

): there's still the one place for Sunday if anyone wants it, although we've got enough (min 4) to run anyway.
I'll be in contact with those that have signed up around a fortnight before, with all of the finer details. I'm pleased to say that the current workshop project looks as though it will work out well, timing-wise. The work that will be carried out by then will illustrate many of the subjects we'll be covering.

Hi barry - do you think the arrangements could include a drink the night before? I'm coming down and staying in a B&B on the Friday

Which B&B are you staying in? I'll need somewhere to crash as it's too far for a Saturday morning
Drink / curry on friday sounds a top idea

Hi Phillip,
I'm staying at
http://www.thecottagebandb.com/
Looks nice, I think it's close - the only thing is that they don't take cards - cheques or cash only. No idea if they've got vacancies
Cheers
Mark

Looking forward to it, I will probably stay sat night so may have a beer or two that evening. Barry how far are you from Brighton? (missis mentioned she could join me and make a weekend of it)

Hi Folks: sorry for my intermittent appearances lately

.
Brighton is around 30 miles away, or about 50 mins.
As for drinks: if you are at that B&B (which does look as nice as the pics, although I don't know anyone that's stayed there), about 150 yards around is The Horse and Groom. Very good semi-gastro (I'm sure they would like to think of it as fully gastro

) pub. Mr Donkin has sampled their wares before, and he approves of it

.
If you wanted to reserve a table for the night before: 01435 830320.

So who is staying on the Friday night? I could drive down in the morning, but if there's an option of a beer/currey (or other food!!) night then I'll book the B&B.
Any decisions made by the travellers?

I'll just keep an eye on what's happening with any overnight posse, as I expect I'll be doing final preps for the weekend, and generally getting in a tizz

.
However any overnighter is welcome to pop their head in the door just to confirm they've found my place O.K.

I'm down the night before and am up for curry/beer. My mobile number is in the members section contact details.
Barry - I'm assuming you'll be providing 6 "barn find" original 911's so that each of us have our own car to work on. Just in case you're having our individual welding machines individually monogrammed, my middle initial is "A", and I prefer gold leaf
I'm really looking forward to it
Cheers
Mark

Been thinking about staying the Friday night too. I have friends in Brighton that I could stay with. I'll call them tonight as see if it's possible. Otherwise I may join you in the 'The Cottage' B&B. So beer and food sounds great.
