Hi
I'm also in south east Essex and would be interested. I know I don't post very much but long term reader of forum posts.

You would be more than welcome to join us. @stich147 I can always meet you somewhere convenient once we agree on where. I could always pick you up from Shenfield if we decide on Chelmsford. Let us see where is best for Steph if most of us drive and I can meet you Stitch and then take you home afterwards. My brother is in Rayleigh and my best friend lives in West Cliff.

Its no problem for me either. I can drive, although if it was Romford I'd jump on a train and if it was Chelmsford, walk.

I guess if Steph is interested in coming it's what is easiest for her as she would have the longest trip (if it wasn't for the fact I'm busy Saturday mornings I'd pick her up from the station).

Having lived near Romford for best part of 54 years (Harold Wood) I try to avoid the town centre at all costs. But I can always pick someone up from either Harold Wood or Shenfield stations or Grays on the C2C line. I can offer lifts to three people however I only have 2 door car so have to be mobile enough to get into the back.

Should explain to anyone not from Essex that Harold Wood has to be pronounced as arold wd.
 
CHelmsford would be good for me- I have been there once!

Thanks Grannylorraine, that would be great.
 
16th June will probably be ok for me - just need to confirm with the lady I share a horse with as to who has him that day! Don't think it will be an issue 🙂
@Stitch147 assuming all ok for me on the 16th, I can pick you up on the way if you'd like? I'll be going right past Rayleigh anyway!

That would be great if you don't mind.
 
Hi all, is this meet up still going ahead? Its all gone a bit quiet.
 
I'm now a maybe - the horse has hurt his leg and needs tests which will be on a weekend as I can't get time off work currently - he needs to go for an MRI in London so all depends on when that comes through and what results say!
 
Yes it is Stitch, hopefully most people can still make it. We can meet in the Wetherspoons @ 12.30 if that is good for everyone. I think it is call the Ivory Peg.

Mark provided a list of carparks

For parking, Waterhouse Lane [https://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/parking-and-travel/find-a-car-park/?entryid1049=24602&p=2] is free on weekends. But it's a 10 minute stroll through Central Park in order to get to the Wetherspoons and it's not the easiest car park to find (which is good for me).

Coval Lane [https://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/parking-and-travel/find-a-car-park/?entryid1049=24587] is £1.50 for the whole day, but again you might need a Sat-Nav.

The easiest option is the Park & Ride [http://www.essexhighways.org/Transp...d/Bus/Park-and-Ride/Sandon-Park-and-Ride.aspx]. That's got free parking, but the bus ticket is £1.50 each so if you have a car full you might as well be parked in a shoppers car park. The are two bus stops either side of the Wetherspoons.

I can pick you up from Shenfield @Stitch, if Sprogladie isn't able to make it. If however it is only going to be the two of us, I can come down to you as there is a cake decorating shop in Southend that I have been meaning to visit all year, plus a running shop in Leigh on Sea, I want to visit (the running shop also have a branch in Chelmsford, so I will go to that one if we meet in Chelmsford).
