[alan c]

Its our first breakfast meet of 2010 this Sunday :woot:

I am going to suggest we meet at Nells cafe just off the A2, Gravesend east turn off.
It has a tarmac car park !!! i went there and checked it out and breakfast was good and no massive que.

just thought it was worth a try, we dont have to, let me know what you think :scratch:

Hi Alan,

Give Nells a go - had a fantastic rhubarb crumble there once

I'm easily pleased :)

[ryanhorton1973]

I have always had nice grub at Nells so sounds good to me to have a venue change !

[Gadget]

Fine by me also.
Just need to find out if I am working on the Sunday.

[scrapps]

Sounds good to me. Not tried but happy to try A new venue.

Count me in.
Might have to be on the bike too because the battery's flat and it needs a run.

2010- Must get power cable to the back garden to run a trickle charger for the bikes...

Good idea to get charger i started both bikes yesterday no problem due to the new charger I got a few weeks back.

Why don't you just stick your tongue out and taunt me too...

[scrapps]

Ok I will do. . . Haa haa. Hee hee

I best not mention I got it in a sale reduced from 50pounds to just 29.99 then !

Looking like may have to give this one a snow-check!

[alan c]

will have to take car :hissy:

[gary tompkins]

May have to pass

Our 1:4 hill is like the cresta run at the moment, and the grit bins have been empty for days. Needless to say drive into work is a non-starter for me today, and it's just started to snow hard again :thumbsdown:

On the plus side... I'm about to fire up the X-box :D

[J.P]

I'll see you there Alan.
Did we suggest a time ?

[Albie]

As Im meant to be working anyhow Im heading for 10 am.Im stuck indoors as roads treacherous and no urgent work to do.

[scrapps]

Mmm may be a bit tricky for me as well. took me 1.5hrs to get to work today its only 8 miles (so many bad drivers). my car is crap in the snow and i made it in. not helped by people slowing down to a crawl when aproaching a hill etc.:nash:

[ladybird]

I got as far as Wandsworth today, Lucy cut out 3 times that far.
Turned around got half way back and then couldn't get her started again.
So I made a snowman while I was waiting for the recovery van.

[scrapps]

Very nice LB :thumbsup:

[alan c]

Snowing this morning in Dartford, will post up if going in Car tomorrow ?

:tgoe:

[J.P]

Or if you can actually get there !

[gary tompkins]

Bit of a lottery really - they have forecast lots more snow in the next 24 hours

I've been out to do a site survey at Grain this morning. They've had a lot more snow overnight, which had drifted across the road in the wind, building up into 2 foot banks at Allhallows & Stoke . Luckily for me the A228 was still passable with care. Wind chill on site was unbearable, and my face was numb after a couple of hours. Fingers crossed we can get a brekkie in tomorrow but it's snowing again here now :nash:

[BigOz]

I only have the bike so I won't be there, should have some shiney new bits by next time.

Andy

[scrapps]

My car is stuck 2 miles from my house so it's a non starter for me.
More snow forcast for tonight so take care if you do try and get there.

[J.P]

A2 all clear. Car park at cafe a little tricky but ok.

[ladybird]

My duvet and myself had a lengthy meeting about the cold weather.
This overran and unfortunately I did not make it out until after breakfast.

[alan c]

Good breakfast this morning, good to see Albie (and work mate), JP,Gary T and Shuffy. Enjoyed banter and chats about wombles, Carbon, world ducati week etc

Got served straight away and food was good, did not have to line up for second and third tea,s :mand:

next breakfast meet should be around Maidstone ? Albie, Ryan and Oz do you no of good cafe in your neck of the woods ? start hunting !

See you next month with no snow and on bikes :chuckle:

[Shuffy]

Great to see everyone today despite the weather. I think it's agreed then, Albie's going to make his own carbon 'Uncle Bulgaria' and piliion it down to World Ducati week later this year, with Caroline possibly hiding inside. Topics for discussion next month: World peace, global warming and how to crochet your own carbon fibre bellypan.

Thanks again to Alan for the lift.

[ryanhorton1973]

Hi. After an hour of snow shovelling and still not being able to get my car out of the car park I gave up There is a nice cafe in St Peters street in Maidstone in the Powerhub business Centre (I think it is called Sue's Cafe but not sure !)

[alan c]
