A message from Eileen and Peter (Kathryn’s Dad).
Eileen and I have arranged a 2016 Derby Sloggers and Betters event in Derby for Saturday May 21st.
This year it will be held at The Brunswick Inn, which is around 200 metres from Derby station. It has an excellent reputation for real ales, many of which are brewed on the premises. We have booked the upstairs function room, which can seat around 40. Those who have attended previous Derby events will know the pub, since we have often gone there after having lunch at The Waterfall.
We plan to have a buffet, which will be £10 and will include vegetarian options. Other dietary requirements can be accommodated.
For now, please put the date in your diary and let us know below if you’d like to attend. Nearer the time, we will sort out the details and finalise numbers.
If you need to know anything more, please contact Peter on pwharvey {at} msn {dot} com. Looking forward to seeing faces old and new in May.
Eileen and Peter
PS We may have told some of you privately that this was going to happen on May 14th, but it turns out that the venue is not available for that date, so please put May 21st in your diary if you’d like to come.
Count me in please! Thanks Eileen and Peter
As on the previous four occasions, I totally disclaim any credit for organising Derby Days: I simply ‘encourage’ Peter. 😉
Eileen, I think that’s called project management!
Shame, we’ll be out the country for this one.
Kath and I will be in the UK at that time so it’s in the diary already. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
That’s great news, Poins – looking forward to seeing you again!
Can’t miss this one, it’s on my doorstep (well, about a 10 minute bus ride away)! See you there.
In!
Hurrah!
Hope to attend
yep, fully intending to be there – many thanks
I hope one will appreciate my presence, even after being ticked off recently.
Eileen and I don’t do ticking off, Sil – as you know. Just a warm welcome. Pleased that you can make it.
Hope to make it – like the change of venue!
Please count me in. Brunswick rules OK!
I was looking at train times for someone at work and so thought I’d just look at how accessible Derby was from home. The train times work but the cost (even with what the nice man at the station calls my ‘young lady’s card’ is more than my ‘entertainment’ budget will stand.
Hope you all have a lovely day.
Hooray! Thank you Peter for organising and Eileen for ‘encouraging’ (nagging?) him. 🙂
I’ve just got to remember to book my train ticket when the fares are cheapest.
Crypticsue, I don’t know where you live but tickets booked online are very much cheaper if you know when to book. I’m just going to check.
Cheaper tickets come online 12 weeks in advance of the journey date and it can be cheaper to book tickets for parts of the journey even though you stay on the same train.
I can do Oxford to Birmingham then Birmingham to Derby cheaper than Oxford to Derby! It’s the same train.
Jenny and I have it in our diaries. Looking forward to the first of these events we have attended.
I hope to be there; many thanks for organising it.
Very much looking forward to being there, DV.
Despite the protestations of my Greek wallet, pretty sure I’ll be there. Cheers to E&KD for arranging things.
I’ll be there barring catstrophe – it’s only 20 minutes walk from home.
Wild horses couldn’t keep me away. Disaster permitting, I’ll be there – just possibly with Mr Kitty if he can make it over then. Many thanks for arranging it.
I’ll be there, can’t wait.
Booked my train tickets now.
Not even that bad.
The Brunswick is a good place.
So, I’m looking forward to be there (as always).
I might bring a (slightly unusual) Dalibor puzzle to add to the fun.
[or to subtract from, of course 🙂 ]
I will attend this – looking forward to it.
Tickets booked – looking forward to meeting up with old and new friends –
neilr
I would have come to this because Derby isn’t far from home. However, I’ll be out of the country. Have a great time, everyone!
Sorted. x2 please – if there’s still room?
J
Always room for you two, John. 😉 Look forward to seeing you both.
