Had a great night in the Black Dog last night. Gave the landlord and landlady (Gary and Tracy) a small taste of what they could expect only we warned them there would be a lot more of us and we would be invading every part of the premises!!!
Various queries were answered regarding facilities too
1. Drainage is superb so no worries about waterlogging at all
2. There is a disposal point for chemical toilets which also has a very basic outside toilet (no roof so we will bring golfing umbrella and promise no dinosaurs!!)
3. It is a Tetleys pub so one pump has to have that the other three plus two mobiles can have what we like from guest list so Geoff and I will discuss that with them in good time for the weekend (Abbotts and IPA on last night)Cider is Strongbow (no scrumpy)
4. Good chance that Tracy will serve cooked breakfasts if people are interested - haven't fixed any prices yet but will sort nearer the time and get a rough idea of numbers wanting it.
5. Unlike last two years there will not be a meal organised for the Saturday evening but the pub does great food at reasonable prices so don't envisage a problem.
12 weeks to go.
