Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
We are certainly hoping to have another meeting next year Sue and it would be great to see you there.

Yes, Sue, - keep your eyes open on the Enid Blyton Day section next year and I am sure something will turn up!

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
We are thinking of a picnic/meal at the Spade Oak and boat trip. Plan to do some investigation in the New Year and hopefully establish a date early on.

You are a star, Sally - I hope you realise how grateful we are. I do know that June is a good time for me so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
Boat trip sounds nice! It's a pity Old Thatch isn't open to visitors any more — I've never seen it, and had to miss out on the previous meet-up there when I could have gone — but I would still be happy to see the general area and get to meet some fellow EBS members at last.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
June would be an ideal month for a picnic and boat trip in Bourne End, Sally. Chick and I would be most interested in such an outing.

Sounds fab to me, Sally. Let's hope we can make it too.

Only 8 months away - help to get me through the long dark days of winter.

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
I hope to be able to make it, too. I may incorporate an overnight stay next year though as it was a very long day, and drive, this year.

Sounds sensible - I am lucky enough to live near enough not to worry.

You and Erika could stay at the same hotel as we do, John.John Pickup wrote:I hope to be able to make it, too. I may incorporate an overnight stay next year though as it was a very long day, and drive, this year.

Good idea Julie. A mini meet-up the evening before!

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
I've just had an email from the Planning Dept, about the proposed flats they wanted to build. I expect those lovely ladies we met on Blyton Close will be pleased that the application to build was refused!

Re: A meet-up in Beaconsfield?
That is good news Julie ..... although sometimes appeals are re-admitted - some people don't give up easily! Let's hope in this case that doesn't happen.
