Red face ★ Cambridge Meet ★ - Sat 12th and Sun 13th August *

OK... the Norfolk meet is moving a little... to Cambridge.
This will include a repeat of punt on the river Cam that we organised in 2013... so...

CAMBRIDGE MEET
Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th August 2017

Basic information at present - more to follow once I start to organise it.
Come for the Saturday drive only or stay the whole weekend.

SATURDAY
START: 9:30am @ Cambridge (Boxworth) Services, A14 North West of Cambridge - NEW Postcode is CB23 4WU (was previously CB3 8WU)
Shell Petrol Station here as well as McDonalds, M&S, KFC and Costa... should be something for everyone.
PLEASE TRY AND PARK AS FAR BACK AND LEFT AS POSSIBLE (furthest away from Coaches, McDonalds, Costa, etc)
That way if it's busy we should be able to find everyone.
Call my mobile on 07949 830020 if you cannot find us.

A drive around Cambridgeshire including:
- coffee stop at Houghton Mill and Waterclose Meadows (£2 car park)
- lunch at the Red Cow (Current Menu - The Red Cow, Chrishall) - table booked for 11 so far.
- and of course some nice roads.
- And then an evening meal
- And Accommodation - Sharon and I have booked the Arundel Hotel https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/aru...ighlight_room= NB: There are plenty of other hotels and a couple of Premier Inns north of Cambridge

SUNDAY
Will probably be parking at the Park & Ride like last time (unless anyone knows a place to park)
A day on foot in Cambridge including a punt on the river Cam.

Steve
Can you put Maryam and I on the Possibly May Bee list please.

As soon as you have an expected start time for the Saturday then we'll be able to decide if we need to drive up on the Friday night or leave it to Saturday morning.

Are we able to pre-book our punting lady in advance ?
