Mid-Essex yacf Epiphany Extravaganza (Saturday 4 January 2020)

[JenM]

Plan A = see you at the Spiritual Home in the evening, possibly with my sister and French husband*.
Plan B = join you for breakfast
Plan C = there isn’t a Plan C

* Quite what they will expect if I told them we were going to meet a group of mainly men that I met on the internet, oh and one person will be dressed as a reindeer!

[Oscar's dad]

I very much like Plan A possibly combined with Plan B. Everyone is welcome but please inform your sister and BiL that kazoos are still banned (and I still wish to apologise for introducing them in the first place    )

Make sure it's the Horlicks he passes you not his "special milk carton" 

[The Family Cyclist]

Jem I read plan A as that you have both a sister and you have a husband who is French.

I'm fostering some outside hope of getting along for the evening and even outsider of getting Mr Millard along

Carlos, camping? 

How about you psyclist?

Maybe the following year. I've come across a Bivvy-RtY challenge, but I'm planning to start in April so that acclimatisation can be achieved before the colder months.

[JenM]

I can see where you are coming from....well unless I can find one and marry him before the 5th it will be my BiL

PS I’m JenM who is rarely confused with the cycling ace Jem

Stop being a snowflake (can you see what I did there?) and just do it!

[Regulator]

I am negotiating a pass for this - but my not be able to make all of it (Mr R’s father is not well and we’re having to make regular trips to the hospital in London).

Can someone PM the locations (I’ve found the Chelmsford Club but am lost by the reference to the Spiritual Home) and I’ll see what I can rustle up?

Excellent, some of us old hands remember the last time you turned up, in fact it was Christmas then not Epiphany.  We’ve all grown up a bit in recent years so you’re in for a far more civilised time of it!

The Spiritual Home is The Compasses Inn, Littlely Green, if you need more info let me know.  Hope you can make it

Does that mean I won't get my seasonal snog?

I believe OD isn't fussy about seasons (or who)... Lol

Exactly, that's a pathetic challenge in the summer. I don't know how you'll survive the Tour Divide, I really don't.

You'll enjoy camping with us, we can help you with our advice and expertise, it'll toughen you up a bit and it'll help you function outside of your (wussy) comfort zone.👍

I’m sure something can be arranged!

For goodness sake come along and save me from OD tickling my tonsils again.

[Oscar's dad]

I’m sure there’s enough to go around!

errmm, don't think so, you're getting your infrequent withamites mixed up 
Although JF is a little more frequent than DL

[Oscar's dad]

The Current Mrs R would like to join us for luncheon.

[Christophe]

Morning. Am  too late to join the party? Intending on joining breakfast and lunch if that's ok. Cheers

I’d be surprised if you were too late!

[tedshred]

Never too late for a Christophe.

[Christophe]

Cheers chaps. Is there any requirement for perusing lunch menus this year? What time is kick off?

[Regulator]

I have a pass!  It looks as though I'll be joining you (albeit courtesy of the infernal combustion engine) for dinner at the Spiritual Home... 

I have been a wimp and booked a room.

Jog my memory - Is that the scene of the missing bike lock key on one of Wowbagger's rides?

Absolutely excellent!  I hope you won’t be disappointed if nobody wears hot pants this time!
