Anyone fancy meeting up for a convoy to The Coach & Horses, Lubbenham. Perhaps Shaun you have got the map references? Can meet up on the way?

Hi Mike & Sandy.
Our Satnav is ready programmed! Happy if you, and other EAC members coming across this way, would like to rendezvous here at our place first. The Coach & Horses should be just over an hour from here, so if you reach ours at 9am, you might catch the old kettle on for a cuppa before we head off!

just spoken to rockingham again.
they dont do group bookings on event days.
but they are going to see if they can save us some space in car park to all park together.
hope to find out later if they can

 

[badman gee]

Good stuff mick, I hope they do, I like to park with plenty of room!

Ps the event starts at 12 and were having lunch then.

Would be good to look around the castle though!
