Thanks to all for responses received via posts to this thread and verbally. Will be going forward on basis that all 17 of us are happy with lunch and evening meal and will be looking to book venues for this number of attendees. More a bit later .......reddyzeddygo said:Many thanks for responses guys and gals. Date for cruise confirmed as Sunday, 30th September. Will update the original post accordingly (and as we go along with the planning).
Proposal is for a mid-morning meet-up (somewhere serving coffee/tea etc), then a round trip cruise ending at Burghley House for lunch (in the Orangerie restaurant). After lunch there will be two or three options available at Burghley for afternoon entertainment (including (weather permitting) continuing the EA Crew attack on Mike & Sandy's tea bag hoard with a brew-up with the now famous whistler and gas stove!) - will be posting details of options for consideration a bit later on. There is also the usual option for the Crew to enjoy an evening meal somewhere before we depart for our homes.
At this stage, could you all please post responses to the following:
(a) those happy with lunch in the Orangerie (once we have confirmed numbers I can talk to Burghley re: any need for table reservation etc)
(b) those wishing to have evening meal before departing home (again, when numbers confirmed I can seek suitable venue).

Welcome aboard for the cruise Mark! :-bdM@r]{ said:Count me in if it's not too late, probably not the evening meal but the drive and lunch
Mmm, now that depends - how spirited do the cruises tend to be? If I bring the missus it won't be Left Foot Braking, more like Left EAR Braking :-@reddyzeddygo said:Welcome aboard for the cruise Mark! :-bdM@r]{ said:Count me in if it's not too late, probably not the evening meal but the drive and lunch
Will add you to the list - will you be on your own or bringing someone along in the co-pilot seat?
We have cruises not races and it's more about the company rather than spending all day driving at break neck speed.M@r]{ said:Mmm, now that depends - how spirited do the cruises tend to be?
