January 13, 20251 yr 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.
February 3, 20251 yr Author 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.
February 3, 20251 yr 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)

February 3, 20251 yr Won't be able to make it this time.. But I'll raise a glass from home. Have a great night folks
February 5, 20251 yr 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
