Oh dear...summat's come up, so I won't be coming.:( Mum had a teensy mishap yesterday - nothing life-threatening, just extremely painful for her, so she's in hospital (SO glad I was here!).

Sounds like it's going to be a good one! Enjoy...
 
Sorry to hear that Bloden. Hope your ma feels better very soon.
 
Oh no, I hope that she and you are both ok. Hopefully meet you on the next one if you can make it

Take care of her and yourself🙂

Thanks, Northener. She's made of stern (Yorkshire) stuff, but it'll be a relief to get her home - hopefully tomoz.🙂

Ah, it's good that she's not a soft Southerner, otherwise she'd be looking at a three-month stay, minimum, I would imagine 😱 😉 Hope she's OK to go home tomorrow 🙂
 
Sad to say I now have to work on Saturday so can't come. Will try to make a different one instead :(
 
Bolden I'm sorry to hear about your mum. I hope that she makes a fast recovery. Stephen and Bloden it will be a shame not to see you.
 
Having read through of the posts are some of you really intending being in the pub from 11-7??? Blimey I must be getting old. I will definitely only manage 2-3 hours but I'm blaming it on the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome!! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I'm not sure what time we will arrive but probably around 11.30/12ish. Be warned I've been in a very quiet mood this week. Most unlike me.
 
Like Cinderella I need to be safely home before the light starts to fade so I'll be leaving about 3ish. Looking forward to my day out and meeting as many of you as possible 🙂
 
I'm really looking forward to meeting you Flower.
 
Bolden I'm sorry to hear about your mum. I hope that she makes a fast recovery. Stephen and Bloden it will be a shame not to see you.
Thanks, AJ. 🙂
 
OK, I have updated the list of attendees, reproduced below for your convenience:

Northerner
@Hazel
@AJLang + 1 (perhaps)
@Flutterby
@Diabeticliberty
@Flower (hopefully!)
@Matt Cycle (hopefully!)
@Marsbartoastie
@spiritfree (hopefully!)
@Annette (+1, possibly)
@Rosiecarmel

If I've missed anyone off, or if you are on the list and unable to come, please let me know 🙂 If anyone needs my mobile number please send me a PM (or let me know here if your PM/Conversation option isn't working and I'll fix it).

Have a safe, pleasant journey everyone, and see you tomorrow! 🙂
 
Hope you all have fun. If I wasnt doing the Thames Path Challenge, id have jumped on a train and popped across for this one as there are people there I really want to meet. Have a drink for me please. X
 
Have a lovely day, everyone, sorry not to make it. I'd got as far as looking up cheap train deals when I realised the date clashed with the Blenheim Horse Trials, which I'd already bought tickets for. Apparently it's going to bucket down there all day, so not the best choice, I'd rather be in a nice warm pub!
