baser999 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Rather than relying on Essex to provide us with our run-outs I wonder if there's enough interest in organising one of our own next month , perhaps Saturday 11th or 18th February. Going down to the coast is perhaps the obvious destination and yes I know that its still a bit cold but we could always find a fish shop on the front for something to eat when we got there. It's since been suggested that we make it either Sunday 19th or 26th - I hadn't realised quite so many people worked on a Saturday and we could also make more of a day of it , grab a pub lunch etc and possibly more people would come along knowing that they could bring their littl'uns, which with hindsight is probably a better idea. You can tell that I no longer have wee folk to worry about - what a selfish b88tard I am So we're now going to have to relist preferences for 19th or 26th ok.
granby Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Great idea Barry as long as it's a gentle drive , i can make either day as long as my car is OK after Brands
baser999 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Herne Bay or Whitstables fine by me and theres no doubt somewhere we could grab a bite to eat . Doesn't it defeat the object of having a "cruise" though if you're going to be able to walk there lol At least if the weather turned bad we could all go back to yours ...........
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 a nice run to hastings would be fun via ashford a few twisties that way. we need to keep ian off the motorways
Pele Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 This is good, keep the ideas and suggestions coming, I'm probably going to be taking a back seat (or passenger lol ) for a while, but will still be keeping an eye on things - don't think my courtesy car could keep up with you lot lol I may even be along for this one At the end of the day it takes more than one person to make an idea work....
baser999 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Hastings would undoubtedly be a better bet - bit more going on than in Herne Bay (local shops for local people....) and more fun getting there as the north kent coast after all is just a slog along the main road . Well if everyones happy with Hastings we'd best decide on the 11th or 18th and the time. I'm happy with either date and whatever times convenient so perhaps someone could start a list Looks like the usual faces again although the thread has only just started.
Deano 666 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 lets make it the 11th of feb, say 1400h??? 1. Deano666
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 14.00 no good as a few of us have to work. we was looking 6pm start ish. best idea is to put your name down and any date you cant make then clarify date neare the time. ie scoobytoo this means i can make both dates ie granby 18th this means he's not available this day.
rocket Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 G'day, Sounds like a good idea , the only problem I have is I work until 18:30 and I cant see annyony wanting to start of from East Dulwich so I would have to come down later, you never know we may even make Hastings Cruise as big as Sarfend and in the summer we could always pop down to Fairlight beach Fridays tend to be tight for me as I have family comittments alot on that night,I'll keep an eye on things, Regards, Pete & Rocket INSANITY IS HEREDITRY YOU GET FROM YOUR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dunks Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 This sounds like a great idea, i cant do the 11 Feb as im on lates but the 18 count me in.
baser999 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Start of the list then ....... Baser999 - either date
wedmonds Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Sounds good to me also... will have to confirm in a little while though. What about someone post on Essex site... they may just like to join us in between meets. Its was great the last turnout. W
granby Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Baser999 - either date Granby - either date dunks - can't do 11th
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Baser999 - either date Granby - either date dunks - can't do 11th scoobytoo- either date deano 666-either date?
baser999 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 I've put a thread on the Essex crew events section of Scoobynet but didn't know how to create the necessary clicky Don't know if someone can do this or whether it should have been done at the time of the posting . . . . and heres a man that was given a computer at Christmas lol.
Deano 666 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Baser999 - either date Granby - either date dunks - can't do 11th scoobytoo- either date deano 666-either date
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 ok people after several pm 's from members regarding "a drive out", the evening may prove difficult with people that have young children. can i make a suggestion please? obviously we need to try and find a day/date that is suitable to as many ks as possible. the more the merrier, including the little ones. it would seem that a day out would probably be best run on a sunday. this way MOST people will be off on at least one sunday in a month, ie due to shift work etc. daytime would be more favourable for parents with younger children. that way they can enjoy the day too! on a sunday we could also stop off either there or back for a pub lunch, roast dinner yum yum please post your feelings on this, as i think we all rushed in with both feet before weighing up the practicalities. suggested dates for FEB then....................??? SUN 19TH FEB SUN 26TH FEB. moved the dates on a bit to give people chance to make arrangements and get as many people going as possible dean
shrek Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Good idea Dean. A sunday would be better for us, as I work on Saturdays, and of course the kids would love to come too, so slightly earlier, would make it more enjoyable for them. Either date is fine with us.
baser999 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Seems I'm in the minority in so far as I work two complete weekends out of every five - if we go for a Sunday I'd only be able to make the 19th.
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 ok new list lets try for the 19th feb...sunday scoobytoo 19th basser999 19th dean 666 19th
granby Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 scoobytoo - 19th basser999 - 19th dean 666 - 19th granby - 19th or 26th
