With 1 week to go, here is a reminder of what's ahead.
18 members / 26 seats.
SATURDAY:
I will be arriving at the Premier Inn South Mimms around midday. There is no fixed itinerary for Saturday but I will be going for a short walk to The White Hart on St Albans Rd, South Mimms EN6 3PJ. Hopefully have a couple of pints there before moving on elsewhere, maybe a taxi ride away. Back to the hotel around tea time to check in and have a freshen up before we go out again locally. A few drivers would be handy but failing that, a short taxi drive maybe down into Elstree. Anyone arriving on the Saturday is welcome to join me.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING IS STILL REQUIRED AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SIT TOGETHER AS A GROUP.
SUNDAY:
The Itinerary:
