I'll mark the Sunday as required.
It'll be good to see Sarg and Annely even if I have to look at a Merc
We haven't seen Mark and Lynn for a while, but then I've not senn Tintin for a good few months either.

Sunday works for me - I'll probably come in the S8, but may bring the Coupe out instead for a change...

Right, what's the plan gents? Is Sunday still on? I may come in the Tesla, mainly because I'm likely to be on my way back from Scotland - and I may have ma wee Scottish pal in tow.....

Shall we start a list of attendees? I've even heard a rumour that ol' buddy Architect M8tey may make a star appearance

Not sure, depends a bit on where I'm coming from, but I'll aim to fit with others plans/constraints. I'll be heading to either Lytham or Lancaster for dinner afterwards, so probably clear till around 6 or 7ish...

We are still good for the Sunday, mind the piggy bank is a bit empty.
With a bit of luck I might even have another job by then.

I emailed The Carding Shed for an update on the move this morning. Got this very helpful reply ....


Quote:
Hello Mark,

the complete business will still be at Dobroyd Mills on your planned date, as the new site is not available to visitors yet.
I know that you are planning a smaller outing than originally anticipated, could you give me an idea of the number you expect just so I can let the cafe know that a group will be visiting that day? There is also additional parking in the upper field which is available as long as the weather has not been exceptionally wet.

The vehicles which are on display change regularly, I have attached photos of the vehicles in the cafe today as a guide however this may change before your visit.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Carding Shed.

Kind regards,
Sarah
