Suffolk meet-up?

I've entered it on the house calendar - there was nothing on that day so house rules are whatever is on the calendar first is the priority :D

 

I'll wear a name badge but it won't be my user name on here - I wasn't allowed my normal handle because (expletive deleted)

 

But to help you all out I'll add a picture to my name badge

 

This is me

  • But this is not social, this Is important multi disaplinamary business interactions with other sectors of the self build community in your location (dear!) 🤣

    Yeah, happy for anyone to come along to mine - maybe along with a visit to @LSB who isn't very far away I think?   Getting more interesting, but still probably a bit dull, oak frame started

  • Too easy.  We are self builders.  We never do things the easy way lol

And be afraid, I can still sing the theme song!

You can be whoever or whatever you like these days - apparently!!!

 

I've just worked out how to get a profile picture up - so now everyday is banana splits day :D

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!

You’ll recognise me by the worried look underneath my shiny, bald head.  
 

Or perhaps we should all wear hi vis lol

Good plan.  I’ll be in a fetching little bright yellow patent plastic number!

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 ;)

why not just book a table in a name 'bob the buider' or 'buildhub' and we just ask for that

I'm not a self builder (just a very hands on DIY'r who would like to self build one day - is it OK if still come ;) ) but you make a good point very well

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.

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.

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)

Sounds like the last AA meeting I went too :D

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

Won't be able to make it this time.. 

 

But I'll raise a glass from home. Have a great night folks

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
