We have 2069 members that have logged in within the last 2 months.
But usually I apply the 90:10 rule...

90% of members "browse"
10% of members "participate"

So I'd say approx 350 members you'll see repeatedly around the forum :)

Thanks @Karl :)
 
Hardwick inn is out unless you want to meet at 4.30pm? Their rooms are all booked over lunch time. Hooters it is :grinning:
 
Jesus... people book shit for Christmas far too early!!

We'll keep looking, Hooters is not an option I'm afraid :joy:
 
Put Saturday down so we can hopefully stay over if it's further away but either day should be ok.

WS12 - Cannock, Staffs here.
 
@freshandminty, you could always travel Saturday and stay overnight, then have the meet on Sunday, but it's looking like Sunday will be the day. And Nottingham isn't too far from you I don't think :)

Okay, well unless we have a surge of interest in any one particular region, I think we are set on Nottingham and the 2nd September.

I'll keep this post open until the end of the month, but I think it's safe to assume that you can all start planning for this eventuality.

So with that in mind, if anyone already on the list CANNOT make the 2nd December, and/or cannot get to Nottingham on that date, please let me know so we can remove you from the list.

As you know, places start booking up quickly around Christmas, so we will need to get somewhere booked as soon as possible.

Sorry hadn't read full thread when I posted last one - Sunday 2nd December in Nottingham should be good
 
Its 4hours away from us so doubt we will be able to make it sorry guys 😔
 
Other possible options i can think of with big enough parking and reasonable food, there is a brewers fayre pub just off junct 28 of the m1
https://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/pub-restaurant/Derbyshire/Castlewood-Mansfield.html
The hutt pub does excellent food and has a largish car park and is opposite newstead abbey if people want something to do in the afternoon
https://www.chefandbrewer.com/pubs/nottinghamshire/hutt/
https://www.newsteadabbey.org.uk/
or back up to the peak district then the dog and partridge just past langsett on woodhead pass is a really nice pub with a big car park with views out over the peaks

Or if anyone fancies all you can eat chinese for christmas dinner then there is this place?

Anyone else round here got any suggestions?
