Been on holiday sailing Monday is fine with me but the pub is shut so we'd need to find another venue for food if that's important. Also bear in mind the M5 Northbound will be pretty hellish with all the grockles going home.

If I'm reading previous replies right, is it now 4 of 6 who can't do Sunday and only 3 for Monday?

I can only do Monday now, I think Mike (Conan the Librarian) prefers Monday but can probably make both, and believe me when I say that I'd much rather do Sunday because I've got to brave the M5 going home on the Monday too, but work means I can't do Sunday any more

I'll have to brave the traffic on the single carriageway coast road back through Dorchester to Blandford but hey ho.

Cant do Monday.
Training for the 55km Dartmoor cycle ride.

Good luck with the m5.
Here's hoping it's not like today.

Alrighty then. The postcode is EX17 5NF - Copplestone Business Park, on the A377 between Exeter and Barnstaple. Turn in to the yard and you'll see my D2.
I'll be there from 09:00 so any time after that until we all get bored

There's another pub nearby which does food from 12:00-21:00 but we'll need to book a table so can I get some ideas for when we'd like to eat please? I'll start the ball rolling with 13:00 for lunch. Alternatively we can get pasties from the local shop for lunch and go to the pub later? I have tea, coffee, soft drinks and biscuits in the workshop.

Can we have a new roll-call so I know numbers please?
