Convoy? I love convoys. Can I be at the front!
Where did you say we are going :-)

Seriously the Diner sounds good to me.

The diner sounds good to me,lunchtime would be good as well.

Looks like us members north of Ipsiwch have been outvoted on the venue, it would have been nice to have one in the Ipswich area as last year it was also in Essex. Lewis I will have to let you know nearer the time if it is to be the Diner.

Don't think it is set in stone yet, I was just going with the flow and to be honest I can't stand the Crown or most Vintage Inns, overpriced pre made food!!!!
As an alternative and nearer to Ipswich I have looked on a few other Car meet based forums and there is a place called Ollies on the A14 near Felixtowe that gets good feedback, just a thought Lewis if you wanted to check it out.
But me, I don't mind where we go so long as it involves food!!!

Do you mean the Owell Crossing? this is a mainly a truck stop but other motorists use it as well. It would be a good venue as it is easy to get to and there is plenty of room for parking, just a suggestion. From the options, I would go for the Trasher at Naction, Ipswich.

The Badger near Newcastle Airport would be much more convenient for me so stop whinging

Borg Warner · 29th September 2011, 18:33

Looking good Lewis

How about a list of those attending?

wraymond · 29th September 2011, 18:34

Any of the options, except 2 & 3.

Hi Peter,

To be honest I don’t know of a great many places in Suffolk, or Ipswich that would be suitable. If you do then please share, as I’ll definitely make the next gathering in Suffolk if this ones in Essex
