I'll pop up to the pub this week and have a chat to make sure it's all OK (maybe we can get the adjacent field to ourselves again).
This year will be very informal and will be BBQ based rather than an organised meal.
My plan is to warn them that YACFers will be calling to make reservations and that we will mostly be using disposable BBQs.
Would be useful if you sent me a PM to let me know who, how many and if you will be having a BBQ (I can buy them in Tesco if you let me know in advance, I'll be driving up).
I may amend the Saturday ride slightly this year. Leckford Estates (John Lewis/Waitrose) are opening a Farm Shop/Tea room at their garden centre this week. It's an absolutely lovely half-mile detour into the centre (Antonio Carluccio was there at the weekend's open day). See page 1, OP, for route details including optional detour..
It's not far away now so PM me with details so I can give them some numbers. Booking will be left to you to do individually.
I'll be arriving on Friday evening, about 6:30pm, and I'll probably book a meal in the pub.
