When is the next Hoofland curry night happening?
My leg injury is much better now . . . . so would be up for this if it is arranged :y
But am not available Oct 5 -8 or Nov 2-9 ;)
-
Serek and Big G are always up for it,I am and I would guess Nick W possibly..... Like Al I'm not around on his first set of dates and not back for another week or so after those. Looks like mid November could possibly work :-\
-
I cant do 8th to 11th November as on NEC duty
-
I'm interested too, if I can find a suitable gap between hospital appointments and other nasty things!
Ron.
-
Looking like mid November onwards.....just need to think about not too far into December :-\

What about Sat 1st December . . .

I cant yet see a problem with that date.

3 out of the "Famous Six" so far . . . just waiting to hear from Big Griff, Nick & Serek
And of course any others who we would all be delighted to see ;)
-
was going to post about it :D but alredy started , i did visit spiceland last night :) still nice meal out there
im up for it :y
-
Hi Serek. As you might have read, I was going to combine curry night with asking you to carry out a full service on my car to save a double journey, but the logistic of that plan are dodgy, especially as 1st December is on a Saturday - early closing for you?
I'll PM you shortly to arrange the service, and I look forward to seeing you again. :) :y
Ron.

Where does this take place?

Where does this take place?
Sorry . . .should have explained that :-[ :-[
Oof meet has been going on here for several years now and takes place at Sawtry on the old A1 just outside Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. And was Sereks idea .This is a social meet rather than spanners ;)
Full address : Spiceland, Old Great North Road, Sawtry, PE28 5XP
Hotel next door for overnight stay which some of us do is :
Google . . .Redwings Lodge at Sawtry. £35 per room per night . 1 or 2 persons :y
-
Thanks for that, AB.
It's a long time since I last went to a meet (at Newent) and as Sat. 1st. December is the 79th. anniversary of my parent's further infesting this planet with life I'll do my best to get along with SWMBO if she hasn't planned anything that I don't yet know about.
Would need to stay over, of course, so I'll make a decision as soon as possible.
It would be nice to put faces to some more of the clever (and crazy) people on here.
Cheers,
Bill.

I'm busy all that weekend with ringing responsibilities, but ought to be able to get to the dinner. Count me in.

Been away for a few days so just seen this . . . problem is with a re-schedule . . I and I know one other oofer have already made bookings for accomodation on the date agreed 1st December ::) ::)
also 8th is my weekend to work :'( :'(

Okay,,, can't be changed, just was talking to serek over weekend, he just mentioned about the following weekend, if people's have committed to accomodation, then far does,
:y
Also as your worming the following weekend, I can see the problems.
-
I am tempted, would like to meet some different faces. At the moment I can do either weekend but I will commit formally closer to the time depending on SWMBO's work schedule.
-
Either weekend would be OK for me and cancelling or changing my accommodation booking isn't a problem at this stage, but if not many members are going to be there the journey distance wouldn't be justifiable for me and SWMBO.
However, I may be combining this with a visit to Serek, (not yet discussed), so I can wait to see what is finally decided.
Bill.

I can try to roll up, unfashionable late, and make a dramatic entrance... ;D

Late start does not bother me . .. & as I understand it . .would suit some
Changing date is a pain for me now . . . as it is my "off" weekend & SWMBO has put that weekend in the nurses rota book to be off as well ::) ::)
Just how late is "unfashionably" late then Trev ?

I was with Serek yesterday, and was talking about the arrangements,and he was unsure wether the date is the 1st Dec or the 8th Dec. I took it as the 1st after looking through the who can and who can't. So am I correct? as after speaking with Serek I guess it's not been booked yet :-\

As I understood it the 1st Dec was agreed with a later start than usual & several have booked to stay at Redwings on that date . . . Lets hope Serek can get a table reservation ::)
-
Cheers Al,still plenty of time to book,I'm sure there won't be a problem.He's away for a couple of days, :y but I'm with him next Friday and I'll give his memory a nudge if he hasn't done it by then.

Well, another hoofland curry all digested, lots of nice conversation, the world was put to rights,,, and a drink taken.. was nice to meet a new face,, and welcome him to the spiceland effect, morning ffcgary.
Nick there's talk of an easter-ish curry, not to long.
Entwood just tow the pikey house up here, plenty of lay-bys and farmers gateways, to park up. So a big till next time spicelanders.
-
I had every intention of joining the curry club, but things didn't work out for me. Easter sounds great and I would love to join you, all being well. :y
Ron.

Just back home from last nights get together.
As Bigriff says . .good night all round . . .not seen GaryFFC for ages so good to catch up with him & his missus.
My missus was on best behaviour , only drinking 1 bottle of vino :o :o
Ken & Carole always good company as usual , KeithABS & Trev always good for a story or 2
Very nice evening all round . . .& will look forward to the next one :y
Memo to myself for next time:
We must keep advising Serek which date we have arranged ;D ;D ;D
-
Agree with Al,great place for a curry and a chinwag,nice to see everyone and looking forward to the next one :y
-
just got home from a great time last night at the hoofland xmas curry, good to meet some familiar faces last night and some new ones too, have spent the day in lincoln, what a lovely city, nightmare drive home as the A1 closed again, still the jag made it a lot better.
look forward to the next.
gary and yvonne.
-
Yea, great night, great food, great company
Roll on the next one
I saw the warning signs for the road closure and diverted off to the old A1 back past the curry house and missed the lot of it
But, 3 miles from home, almost T boned a pikey who just pulled out without looking and then stopped.
Missed him by a couple of inches as he reversed with his girlfriend going ape at him
-
It's days like that when you value your car,you have to be sensible and not do the world a big favour :-X
-
Glad everyone enjoyed themselves,,, there will be a hoof'land meeting soon, to try and arrange the easter-ish curry night .
Still don't know if we're having Christmas dinner there yet. :)
-
It would be rude not to ;)

Best cooked breakfast I ever 'ad was from the beach front caff in Santa Ponca... * ::)
*The one in Benidoom is probably betterer ::) ;D :D
-
its about time we had another currie boys and girls :y
-
I had to cry off from the last one unfortunately but am definitely up for this subject to the date being no sooner than mid September and no later than very early November.
I would hope to get the Omega to Serek for quite a few jobs at the same time, and to stay at the hotel next to Spiceland.
Can we start talking about prospective dates, please?
Bill.
-
It looks like there will be a queue at Serek's, assuming that my Omega passes its MOT, as I have things that need Saint Serek's healing hands. I would love to go to the curry-fest, if my hospital appointments don't clash.
Ron.

I can't do last 2 weeks of October. All depends on what days serek is free.
-
October 5th ? :-X
