Hi all

Many thanks to those who have already entered this event, and the (few!) who have sent their food requirements. This is a reminder that we need food orders by 6pm tomorrow (Saturday 25th). I can take MAP requests up until Monday 27th.

A brief note about the food - when we first made contact with the pub about 4 months ago, they were not providing evening meals, but promised that they would be by the time of our event. A month ago, they were still not providing meals, but still promising ....... Last week, the landlord got in touch and told us that his official food opening date was December 1st, but that he would open the kitchen a day early - to accommodate our event. Food orders to date are very low (< 10!), and my concern is that the landlord may not consider it worth his while to provide ANY food for us, so .......

Please can you let me have your orders before the deadline tomorrow. I am happy to take orders from those who have entered already, but declined the food option!

Definitely looking forward to a deluge of replies.

Thanks

Grahame

PS Trevor has asked me to point out that the start and finish will be in the covered area outside which is accessed through the public bar (not the room we will have for registration). It is a fenced off area on the south side of the pub with a  gate which will be opened for the duration of the event, leading to the east-west road “Longford Road West”.
