New year 27th Dec to 4th Jan at Ferry Meadows

I'm in!  After such a great time last New Year who wouldn't want to do it all again    

I think I booked in too!  

Been too busy to log in recently, cleaning in preparation for meeting with prospective, maybe, in laws. Now all I've got is boiler service Monday, man to clean slate floors Tuesday, friends arriving wednesday, NEC all day Thursday and Friday its my birthday and I'm off on the boat for a week Relaxing on the Ashby canal, no locks, plenty of gin.

But I have managed to book in for New Year, almost looking forward to winter as we had such a good time welcoming in 2016.

Ooooo, that's a busy week you've got lined up there!  Have a fab birthday on Friday and a lovely relaxing week on the Ashby Canal ...... oh yeah, and enjoy that gin   

I'm booked in!  

Bump

And suddenly it's October!

Just returned from Uttoxeter with Pippa, had a lovely few days and we were talking about New Year. When I was at FM in September I got the timetable for the Nene Valley Railway, they will be running trains over the holidays, perhaps we could book for a lunch or afternoon tea?

Also is everyone still up for a Murder Mystery om NY's Eve? If so I'll order one from Amazon.

On another subject when I got home I washed the van and found a crack in the top corner of the rear panel, had a look online and I see Elddis have had a few of these reported I will ring the dealer in the morning and see what happens.

That's a great idea.  I have been looking at the meal on a train thing myself but couldn't figure out if it would be available or not. I reckon that if people are up for it we ought to book as soon as possible 'cos I wouldn't mind betting they get booked up pretty quickly. The 'Murder Mystery Dinner Party' is something I've been looking forward to ever since it was mentioned. I'm certainly all for it.  

Slightly different subject,  Is everyone doing the full eight day thing or are people going to cut back on the length of the meet?  I know I have booked 27th to 4th Jan cos I reckon with Peterborough so close I'm sure there is plenty going on to keep us entertained but I don't fancy being stuck there on my own if everyone else cuts it short.

Hope you get some joy from Elddis. Good luck

Yes, not sure I'll stay until the 4th, will have to think about it. I will definitely be there on the 27th as I am taking the caravan to the prospective in-laws for Christmas and think I can last until the 27th and as they are half way to Peterborough it is quite handy. I'll give the railway a ring and get more info. The order for the Murder mystery has gone in, I will let you all know your characters and hope you all come appropriately attired.

there is still one place left, if anyone wants to join us.

the van goes in on the 27th, we will see what happens.

I am up for the train and meal at some point.  Not certain of the whole stay dates at present somewhat depends on daughter!  But with the 72 hour thing there is plenty of time.
