Well, it looks to me like Guy has volunteered to be our guide at Cosford, which sorts that query out and saves a few quid.

I am presently thinking of Cosford as part of the Sunday morning itinerary so we can do a drive with lunch on the Saturday and people can leave when they wish on the Sunday like last time.

Ok, time is moving on, so its time to start thinking a bit more about this.

Are there any more people interested in coming along on 19th August?

Also, to add a veneer of competence to this, could someone with the authority possibly change the thread title to 'Betameeta 2023'?

Hi Mark

I have asked on FB but no response so far.

I am changing the thread title, but you need to change each entry individually…..

Thanks Peter- that seems to have worked form my end.

A little more info. Cosford RAF Museum is open from 10.00. Free admission but £7.50 to park(£6.50 booked in advance). Not sure this will suit the no plane buffs at that price .

On this basis, not sure whether to include Cosford on itinerary for Sunday but leave it open for those who are most keen. Let me have you views. Cosford is 10 minutes from base or Shifnal so doesn’t really influence route planning.

How gutted I am having spent the last year working in Telford, but now back in Thames Valley

I'm up for Cosford too. But then again, you might have know that!

smithymc · « **Reply #50 on:** July 20, 2023, 08:27:10 PM »

I appreciate that we may not be at our final numbers yet, but are there any votes for any particular type of cuisine for Saturday evening? We went to the Fox at Chetwynd Aston last time which is still good but on the expensive side. Feel free to have a look at the menu.

Mark

smithymc · « **Reply #51 on:** August 05, 2023, 01:08:12 PM »

2 weeks to go so we are definitely in the countdown phase.

Are there any more who might come along?

Routes are reccied, still open to food ideas when numbers are more certain.

Oh, and there’s hoping for some rather better weather!

Mark

Hi Mark

I too am putting in my request for better weather, getting a bit fed up with it especially as we should have been in France….

Sorry a little late to the party, been one of those years.
I'm up for this, as are John Bower, Amanda/Steve Dodge and possibly Andy C.
Checked the mentioned accommodations, which are all booked for the Sat night.
Not knowing the area, and not wanting to be too far away from the Sat night meal, can anyone recommend anywhere.

Thanks Tony

SanRemo78 · « **Reply #54 on:** August 06, 2023, 09:13:23 PM »

I'm staying at the Anvil Lodge, Shifnal, walking distance to the pub venue for the meal. See if they've got rooms left?

Guy

smithymc · « **Reply #55 on:** August 07, 2023, 09:18:37 AM »

Good news Tony

I'll have a scout about for alternative accommodation.

We can collect /ferry people about for the Saturday night anyway.

Mark

smithymc · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2023, 09:39:37 AM »

A quick search suggests that there are still few rooms.

Lilleshalll Hall for the price of the Premier inn, or Days Innn at the M54 services outside Shifnal or the Park House n Shifnal , Swan Inn at Newport look possible. The White House at Muxton, Mecure or Holiday inn in Telford.

That's great will take a look.

I've booked a room at Lilleshalll Hall for the Sat night, as have Amanda and Steve Dodge.
Due to dog walking commitments, I will arrive around 12.30.

smithymc · « **Reply #59 on:** August 09, 2023, 08:08:57 AM »

Great stuff Tony. We will work something into the timetable.
