g0ozs Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Dear All (or at least all in or near Suffolk) There were a couple of comments on the "Do any forum members live near Felixtowe " thread that the HMVF members in Suffolk ought to get together, so I have started this separate topic to continue that discussion separately from solving Richard's logistics problem. For what it's worth I usually have a babysitter on Monday and Thursday evenings (although the next 3 weeks are a bit more complicated) so those would be my preferred days. I think I would prefer between Xmas and New Year or early in the New Year as I will have a lot to do before Xmas. Please suggest dates that would work if you are interested. Again for babysitter related reasons I'd prefer early evening (say 7pm) to later. Or possibly a Saturday afternoon if other kids will be there to keep each other busy (I dont't know how long my daughter's game? Do folks feel that a pub or a village hall would be better ? Do we want to meet somewhere central in town with food or somewhere out of town with plenty of parking for vehicles ? I suspect it will depend on who is interested and where they live where we look for a venue - I work at Martlesham Heath and live north of Stowmarket so anywhere between Felixstowe and Stowmarket will be "on the way home" for me Regards Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Im on the Essex/Suffolk border and would be up for it. Pub sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 All welcome to come to my place and peer at my junk, usually free Saturday afternoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Adrian That sounds like too good an invitation to refuse. I think the Saturdays I can do are the 19th or 26th December and the 2nd of January - the 2nd of January is better for me as I will have child care options. I can bring biscuits and a supply of disposable coffee cups, if it helps ? As to times does 2pm to 4pm seem reasonable having regard to lunch and sunset at this time of year ?

Adrian Barrell Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 26th might be tricky being Boxing Day but the others are fine. Biscuits? Bring biscuits and you can come when you like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 OK - let us propose the 2nd January at 2pm at Bedfield with biscuits ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Any updates on this? Doesn't seem to be too much interest :undecided: I'm still up for it in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Likewise - I have the biscuits already Adrian My daughter is 8 - she has been to W&P for 4 days without getting herself squashed but I guess I should ask if she is welcome or I should book the baby-sitter on Saturday afternoon ?

Adrian Barrell Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Iain, my daughter is 8 in six weeks time so I'm sure she will entertain your little one! Looks like it will be a small turnout but that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g0ozs Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Adrian We will leave here at 1pm - my mapreading and satnav permitting we should be there a bit before 2pm coming via Thorndon and Bedingfield If you need to guess who we are we should be in a green Defender 90 hard top with Union and Saltire flags on the antennas My daughter has tested the biscuits (she only wanted the ones with jam in) I may have some disposable coffee cups if it will save you washing up ?

g0ozs Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Adrian Looking at google earth/maps is it near Bedfield Garden & property Service which is a predefined location in the IP13 7EH post code? The Sherman hull in google street view is likely confirmation enough Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Mendlesham is only 25 mins, even by Landrover...... Cups would be good if you have some. You can't miss my place, though no tanks in the field at present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
