taken from s/net................................should be a good day out..even better if it doesn't rain

The best rate I can get from the Swan Hotel in the High St is £80/double and £70/single - higher than last year I know but they are looking forward to lots of you staying there. They have blocked their central system and agents from making bookings in order to reserve space for us, so you need to call them direct on 01420 83777 and mention the Scooby Meet - first come, first served.

The Wheatsheaf pub in Market Square has been taken over by new people since last year and they are promising to open early and serve cooked breakfasts - their licence means they can't serve alcohol before 12 but they will feed you when you arrive! Pizza Express also planning to open early and serve bacon butties to take away. There will be an Italian coffee wagon in the corner of Market Sq and a good burger wagon in the High St for teas, bacon rolls, burgers etc.

Plenty of good places for lunch - Wheatsheaf and Market Hotel pubs in the Square and the Kings Head opposite in Market St. Just down the hill opposite Square is a new pub opened since last year - The Leathern Bottle - owned by local brewery Triple F, who do excellent real ales for those not driving! Also in Market Square for lunch is Pizza Express and Prezzo - a good Italian restaurant. There are more pubs around the town centre and afish 'n chip shop at the end of the High St where the Scoobies will be parked.

Entertainment will be provided by Kai Jansen, the singer/guitarist, playing outside Pizza Express as last year, a wandering street entertainer, Lady Madge, who does a comedy juggling act with a fire-juggling finale (better keep her well-away from the WRXs then!) and a bouncy castle for the kids.

Parking - we'll fill Market Square first, followed by the High St and then the Ladyplace car park, which joins onto the Market Square. I'll try and reserve blocks in the car park for big groups but the rest will have to be first come, first served from 0900 onwards.face-icon-small-happy.gif

Just a thought but it is probably better to do a rolling meet with tiny & his crew at clacketts, done this before as it saves us from going over to the dark side just to travell back the same way. Just agree with me you know it makes sense rodney'sface-icon-small-happy.gif if you think this is ok i will speak with him to let him know.
