IB Midlands Meet - meet from 6:30 for 7:30 sit down - April 2nd, Bulls Head, Meriden

[johndglynn]

Good craic at our first Midlands Meet of the year. Wednesday April 2nd will be the second one.

I would like to go back to the Bull's Head as it has an excellent car park, good food and is pretty central being in the centre of the country.

They now do sittings for big tables so either 6pm or 8:30 - I think 8:30 to sit down would be fine but what's the verdict. I will run a poll for a week and pick your favourite.

EDIT - this is now confirmed for 7:30

I think we should easily get 12 there on a Wednesday but add your names below -

JG +1

Either time works for me as its 45 minutes away.  So local-ish.👍😎

I can do either time, but chose 6 in the poll.

[Jon Miller]

I'm in. 6pm would be very tight for me so chose an 8:30 kick off.

[johndglynn]

• JG + 1

Sorry, will gives this one a miss, have fun and hopefully see everyone at the next one

[Ian Comerford]

I’m in, prefer the earlier option so we can stand outside in the fading light and talk rubbish around our cars

[Northy]

I should be in for this. Don’t mind the time. 6pm more of a stretch to make it in time, but can make it work 

[johndglynn]

Cool - should be fun. We can always eat outside and chat sh!t - that is fine too!

[AQS]

Please add me to the list - 18:00 is preferable for me (I have voted)

Regards Andrew

[johndglynn]

No problem Andrew

[RufRyder]

Count me in please - I'm good for either time 😎👍

[johndglynn]

OK so I have now paid the deposit on this. The booking for 12 people has been amended to 7:30.

The all day menu is here. A 10% service charge is added to the bill.

They would like to get pre-orders but it is a manual form for that so just DM me.

Final List:

• JG + 1
• FXM
• Nige
• Beaky
• Chris_911
• Jon M
• AntA

[Ian Comerford]

Looks like I can make this.  Is there room for one more John?

Oh, that makes 13……

[Northy]

I’m coming too 👍

[Nige]

Yep, still good here.  I'll send you my food order shortly.

 

Its looks like its gone more 'upmarket' since the last time we met there.  Is it a Porsche tie with a crested blazer job then

Ian, I think no.2 service dress is best suited to this event.
