Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[the straggler]

Cannot make it out this week, too busy at work with a deadline this Friday. Maybe next week?

[BFC]

I'm available. Need to check out the bike that takes full Hartford End controller luggage for the weekend.

In as respectful a way as possible, people from the Centre of the Known Universe don't really count as everywhere is handy for you guys.

Strangler - Cross Keys works as a train assist for you ?

Fandango - is the Hurdlemakers within range ?

Let me know where you are going please, I'll go somewhere else.

[tedshred]

You're stuck with us 

Am I in trouble again ?

The members of the FWP are the core of our Wednesdays but there isn't much point in inputting their details into the ACME Triangulator as they are the COG.

[Nick]

Hurdlemaker's Arms is fine for me! Thank you.

[felstedrider]

Annoyingly work now want me back in which means 5am starts on a Thursday.  It’s unlikely I’ll be out mid-week for a while.

[huggy]

I think I am definitely maybe going to be at the RBT of guaranteed adventure.

[Carlosfandango]

It's looking a little damp here I'm afraid. I think I'll give it a miss tonight.

[Andy C33]

I'm home a little late so my presence is doubtful

[Nick]

Sorry, chaps - I'm out as my chain is knackered and the rear wheel bearing is rumbling. Noticed while cleaning so a new chain on order ready for the Knights Templar on Sat. The wheel I will squirt stuff at.

Hard as nails!

Yep, 3 1/2 hours in the rain, I'll go rusty!

I believe you can get special pants for men of your age.

Outside Phil, outside. I'm not totally intercontinental yet🙄

Careful with the "men of your age" comments Phil.  There are an increasing number of us Mid-Essex folks edging ever closer to 60, not to mention those who are already there?

Hello lovely people, how about we celebrate Spring having started and the clocks about to be changing, with a follow-up event at chief’s gaff? Perhaps Friday the 25th March?:

•   Arrival at the Chequers, Great Tey any time ready for curry and a naan bread that will be served at 8pm
•   A few light refreshments before cycling back to my place for around 10PM (ish) - it's about a 10-15 minute ride
•   Tent setup and fire will be lit – I’ll provide seating for everyone
•   ~1 cubic foot of Pizzas/garlic bread will be served for late night munchies
•   Drinks into the night
•   Head-off by mid-morning to start the weekend

Facilities are in the process of being upgraded with such luxuries as a lav’ light and an on-demand hot water tap.

Bring anything you’d like to drink for the evening but I’ll also put on a couple of ales – likely from the Mighty Oak Brewing company

Donation of £6 each toward the chicken curry and naan at the Chequers would be greatly appreciated.  They will also put on a veggie option but please let me know before hand.  Further dietary requirements need to be organised directly - can always order straight off the menu

If you could let me know numbers that would be great 

Cracking time last time, sure it will be the same this time

[Oscar's dad]

Yes please chief you lovely fella!

Oh I’m in the same edging to 60 age group OD, self depreciation

It was rather superb, and very much appreciated that you’re proposing a rerun.

We’ll need somebody sensible to collate the numbers, OD?

Yes please Chief! Thank you for offering this again.
We had a great time last time and I don't remember going to bed that late/early (I think it was about 3.30am ) since I was a student. It was the most fun in ages.

[Tomsk]

Cheers Chief!  Friday 25th March will work for me.

[Christophe]

Thanks Chief. Count me in for 25th.

[tippers_kiwi]

Bugger, I can't make this one

You're a top bloke Chief. I'll be very happy to come along and chaperone her ladyship.

[Oscar's dad]

Are there plans for this Wednesday?  I'm not 100% if I can attend, depends on how the week pans out.
