Easter run 2011

:wave: Ok folks just to give you all the heads up I hope to start planning our Easter run after Xmas .
I have been looking at doing the Mourne Mountains and Ards peninsula taking in a few of the sights and maybe stopping for a barbecue on route weather permitting.(Ronnie hope you have new tools on your xmas list) :+:
I have had a look at a potential route and it would work out in the region of f 130 mile taking in a ferry crossing on the Strangford ferry and a stop at the Spelga dam and or the Silent valley .We could also visit one of the local forest parks Tullymore /Castlewellan
This is only a suggestion and if anyone has any other suggestions please dont be shy and let me know so we can have a look at it .(Mark get the thinking cap on) :+:

:+: Merry Xmas and a Happy new year to you all :+:

Can i ask you all let me know if you will be attending ASAP and if so will you be wanting to stop for Dinner at Molly Browns i have made an enquiry and the cost is £14.95 for 3 coarses but they said they will look at a reduction depending on numbers.

Regards

count me in...for the meal too :) :+:

all being well i shall be attending even though i dont like heights or water....the club run attendance comes first....will pratice my blindfold driving between now and then ..wife should be able to help me out greatly in this field..literally...lol...not sure about meal as no doubt the babysitter costs will be mounting up as the day goes on...

I can always trust the old faithful's to be the first in the queue and Ronnie no decisions need to made on the meal until a week before the run .
.Pat has been in contact and all being well he shall be with us as well .

Colin :+:

pat might be along too...happy days...the orignal crew unite again... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :+:

Hi all
Sorry for not being in contact sooner i have had PC problems and still am ,im on sons laptop but all the club run information is on my PC it would only happen at Easter when everywere is closed.Anyway for all you guys who are going on the Easter Run on Sunday .Can we all meet up at Sprucefield B&Q carpark around 10 AM for 10: 30 start.As i said before we will stop en route for a picnic lunch so dont forget to pack the goodies and drinks ,would not want you all to be driving on an empty stomach.
Also i have changed the venue for dinner to the Pitstop in Bangor it serves good home cooking and at a very reasonable price .My reason for this is we dont need to book so we can just eat when we arrive rather than having to wait to a particular time and also it will not matter how many people we have .This way if we are in Bangor earlier than anticipated we will have no waiting arround as i appreciate some of you will have a good drive home in front of you .So will see you all on Sunday.Also i can not post on the forum at present as my password is on other Pc will try and get new one can some kind person please add this information to the Easter run threads in the Northern Ireland and Ireland sections.

Any problems or queries give me a call on 07792558897 or drop me an email
Cheers
Colin
