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).

that will be great, thanks Grannylorraine.
 
@stephknits and @Stitch147 are you both still able to make Saturday. Hopefully one or two of the others might make it along as well. @Stitch147 I will message you with my mobile number and can arrange for meeting you at Shenfield going and I will take you home.

I'm planning to go to Chelmsford on Saturday all being well
 
Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
 
My train is arriving just before 12.30, so should be there soon after. See you then
 
See you all soon. I'm easy to find, blue hair, tattoos and wearing a stitch t-shirt!
 
Have a great day everyone. Want pictures! :D
 
Hope you all have a good time. 🙂
 
Was great meeting those who were at Chelmsford today. Will have to arrange another meet up soon. Thanks for the lift @Grannylorraine
