Testing the water

RPWC · 24th October 2015, 09:46

I am planning a mini meet around the end of September, start of October at the Haywain pub in Little. Bromley Essex,between Harwich and Colchester.
Disclaimer Please note that this is not an official 75/ZT owners club meet,is not covered by the club public liability insurance,and the club accepts no responsibility for this meet.
http://www.thehaywain.co.uk.
Plan is to meet at the pub 7-7.30 for a meal,beers and a natter, those travelling from out of the area,such as myself,and anyone else whowants to come along can stay over in one of the Travelodges in nearby Ipswich around 15 minutes away,or Clacton which is also nearby. Next morning meet up for breakfast followed by a photo shoot somewhere local( viewpoint or equivalent), then head for home around late morning.
Having spoken with a couple of the Essex members who attended the North South get together last weekend, they are on for it.
I intend for this to become an annual event known as the North South get together,alternating each year between Essex and Newcastle.
So if anyone fancies it please express your interest

Date is Saturday 8th October

ist of attendees,
RPWC
Coolcat
Night Owl
Waanty and Lesley
Graham 1961
Ivorthedj
Anthony and Maricel
Stan 315 + 1
Trikey and Debs

Just to fill you in on the Haywain, our very own Flying Banana, Anthony & Maricel, Fezzyfox, Ivorthedj and of course Night owl and Myself can highly recommend the food they serve......it really is a proper family run village pub and Andy and Dawn will make you feel very welcome
