Forum Breakfast Meet-ups

Hi all It was lovely start to a Saturday, meeting for our forum breakfast. A very serious time discussing the most important issues such as eggs & bacon, porridge with either strawberries or bananas, or a sausage batch. Equally serious though, it was a very sweet time together.

Hi all A small but cordial breaky meeting this morning, as we were all enthralled with Helen's "Coventry Model Project". A member & his wife joined us for the first time too. Brill! I cannot remember a meeting where there was so much real historical content discussed, much of which I am still piecing together. We were still there gone noon. It's easy to imagine that those of us that come to the breaky meets, are free of life's issues, but nothing could be further from the truth. Thank you to each who came, & a special thank to you Helen for driving all the way from Warrington.

Many thanks to all who made this morning's breakfast meet-up such a warm and enjoyable occasion - the warmth especially needed after we were all left waiting out in the cold until they finally opened at 10am!! And biggest thanks to Charabanc for today's treat!

A great get together. Plenty of chat going on and a hearty breakfast thanks to Charabanc.

Great meeting this morning and many thanks to Charabanc for picking up the tab! Shame we didn't know about the new opening times - most were there before 9:30 - and I thought I was a few minutes late due to roadworks just meters away from The Coundon forcing me to make a 5 mile detour , only to find there was a

Yes, echo the thanks to all and especially Mr S (Charabanc). We honestly did not look like a bunch of rogues standing in a pub car park at 0930 banging on the door for it to open!

I'm sorry that I wasn't free to sus the venue out, so blame me for that. That's why if I suggest a venue, I like to test it out. Infact, I like testing it out, the eggs & bacon, toast, coffee, mushrooms, tea, sausage, bus routes, air quality, gardens, decor. Hold on, what on earth am I on about? There's a white coat coming for me.

Philip we've definitely been there at 0930 before with you even though the bar-lady reckoned they've always only opened at 10! Anyway look forward to seeing you on the next one.

I agree with all the comments. It was a good do, and thanks once again to charabanc for stumping up. It's odd how often people disagree about the opening time/s. About 3 years ago, my gym started opening later at 0630, which doesn't really give me enough time in the morning before work. I much preferred the 0600 start, and did that for years. Yet only last month, a regular member said "No, they never opened at 0600, it's always been 0630, and I've been coming here since it opened..." Well no, I have been going there since the year 2000, longer than he! And from 0930 until 1000 last Saturday, all ten of us, we certainly looked like a bunch of desperados.

Oh yes, please, standards must be kept, don't forget the napkin. Derek.

Thank you, Robthu, for funding our feast. Thank you, Bev, for your administration. Brill, brill & brill.

Big thanks to RobThu from the Orland rabble, too, for a fine breakfast. Lovely enjoyable morning, plenty of good conversation and tasty nosh all round! It'll be great to repeat the experience early next year, hopefully with even more members along for the trip. I must also add, that Wetherspoon's service was first class - we were served within minutes of ordering with no compromise in quality.

Yes, apols for delayed thanks (work getting in the way!) but a smashing morning and special gratitude to Derek for the breakie tab. Very much appreciated.

I did get to the meet up, but only in time for the benediction. Nice all the same. Best wishes all.
