JohnnyB Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Looking forward to meeting lots of you. The Crown is easy to get to from the A14, and fairly close to me so a good choice!

Isn’t that gonna be a bit “sweaty” I do like the high Viz idea from a guessing who is part of the meet up - but I wouldn’t want to wear one all evening

JohnnyB Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I'm not going to be able to make it, when I mentioned it yesterday I was reminded that we are away that week. The bar at the crown isn't too large, you find each other easily enough.
Alan Ambrose Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 I called into The Crown, Stowupland on Sat - purely for research purposes you understand. Had a word with the publican, Mike and booked a table for us in the quieter bit. I'll probably eat, but he said he's happy if not all do. Give me an idea of numbers for Thurs so I can expand the table if we need. I thought we could each spend a coupla minutes giving a sense of where each of us is in 'the journey' and what we're building and go from there. Drawings, pictures etc would be great.
marshian Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I'll be there around 7pm (depending on the work situation) If I leave work late I may chose the eat option - chicken curry looks like a good move (not a fan of Pizza)

zzPaulzz Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Unfortunately I have to be in London now on Thursday so won't be joining you all. Hopefully there will be a next time!

FuerteStu Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Won't be able to make it this time.. But I'll raise a glass from home. Have a great night folks
LSB Posted February 5 Posted February 5 We will be there, and probably eat as I won't get home from work until 6 and it's 40 mins to get to Stow. There will be 2 of us
