there had been 2 accidents on the M1 between Nottingham and Sheffield

the meal was fantastic. great choice James. (as usual) that and the company made the painful journey there well worth while.

the journey home was a breeze, roads were empty. we litrally had the M1 to ourselves at one point

Yup took me ages to cross the Derby/Notts border on the way hom elast night. Was hoping to ride shotgun with Bert but babysitting duties were in force whilst Alison was jollying it up at the School show.

And a belated thank you from me as well to James for organising such a great venue and for the quality food choices.

I enjoyed meeting up with you all and it was great that partners are so much part of DDK!

Traffic wise it was a bit of a nightmare: when I drove down south on the M1 to pick up Chris, I decided to go the long way to Skipton: A50-M6 to Kendall and then across to Skipton. How I wished this was in a 911 but alas.

I suddenly met the man with the hammer on the way down and Chris took the wheel of my car somewhere halfway... Arrived safely and still grinning


all the best,


Bert

Bert, we lost you on the M1 somewere. presume you knew where you were by then and were taking chris home. so we didn't slow down

huge appologies if we lost/left you



we got home at 1.45am

No apologies necessary Helen: we had to refuel -even diesels need that once in a while - and chris took the wheel from that point.

But thanks for your consideration


Bert

phew.
BTW: the signums diesel too

Hello everyone, sorry for late reply. Good evening wasn`t it, thank you James, another triumph, the food was great and the staff were, I thought ,really friendly in a very un Yorkshire sort of way

Good to meet new faces... well old faces but new to me....not saying the faces were old.... just..... never mind, you know what I mean.

THANKYOU THANKYOU Helen and Larry for the fridge, just what I needed
sorry Hayley and I didn`t get to talk to you more before we left.
Iwas so busy trying to sort out our car, I hope Ididn`t appear rude

We took it steady on the way home with no water in the engine, lucky it was such a nippy night... ever come across an air cooled Volvo before?

Happy Christmas every body

Regards Mike and Hayley

P.s. where does the antifreeze go in my 911.

yes sorry we didn't get achance to chat....my fault for arriving late.


glad the fridge is of use. it seemed a waste to have it sitting in my spare bedroom un-used.
