To confirm, defiantly going to this, will be in the Activa for its last meet up in my hands... and then driving to Reading after to drop it off for its new owner.

I have booked for 6 at the King William IV. A single course Sunday Roast is £11.50. The booking is for 12:30, but if aim to get there about 12 we can kick the tyres, and get the first orders into the kitchen.

Here is a general location map Heydon is just below the centre of the map, and the IWM is the pink area to the north east.

a detail map showing the location of the pub.

Anyone else want to join us?

Oops I made a mistake

, I thought their summer hours started this weekend... Time for a replan

I think we need at least 3 hours at Duxford, so I think the only way to achieve that is to scrub the pub lunch, and meet directly at the museum.

They do have a cafeteria there, but I can't vouch for the quality.

I wont be able to stay too long, as i have to get to Reading for 5pm.

How about meet at Duxford for 10.30am, then pub lunch at 1.30pm?

I think we should postpone this.

Apologies to anyone who had planned around this weekend.

I will tentatively rescedure for 14 March, when Duxford ARE open till 18:00.

I will post a reminder closer to thta date.

Get well soon Jim

Probably for the best, we won't have to rush on the 14th of March

Sounds good to me Mike

Noted on the calendar. The thing on the wall covered in dates, not the cooking utensil that leaks a bit...

Yep, no worries. I can get on and do my ECU now with no fear I'll miss it! If the museum is open til 18:00 it'll be less of a rush too and will improve on the enjoyment.

Date noted!

Excellent. I couldn't have made Sunday, but March's a lot better.

Get well soon Jim.

Be good to see you and your immaculate XM Phil!

Good job we did postpone from this weekend. I'm still not at all well (although a little better today) and would not have anywhere near well enough to attend

By current recovery progress, I should be just about there by March

OK, Time for a reminder of this great day out at Duxford. All welcome!

Duxford will be on summer opening hours, so we have a bit more flexibility of timing.

I don't mind booking a table at a nearby pub for lunch, or we could eat at the "restaurant" inside the museum.

Any preferences?

I'm on for that Mike

Eating with care for me. My blog will divulge all in due course
