East Midlands - 11am, Sunday 15 April 2012 - The Bonnie Prince, Derby DE73 5UE

[elnevio]

Between miller, Nick Mann and me, we have arranged a mini-meet from 11.00am onwards on Sunday 15 April 2012 at The Bonnie Prince, which can be found just off the A50, south of Derby. This is less than 10 minutes west from junction 24A of the M1.

This was also the first place that we went to a CVR4 mini-meet, and also the first place I showed off my new VR-4, some four years ago!

The reason we've initially sorted this between us is that we wanted to get all the kids introduced (or reintroduced!) to each other prior to the Ring trip next month. And nothing to do at all honestly promise with us just wanting to have a gasbag! Anyway, it's now open to all, hence this thread, and indeed, all are welcome!

I have provisionally booked a table/tables for 15-20 attendees, but this can be extended. Ideally, I would want to sort numbers within the next seven days (i.e. by Easter Sunday).

For interest, the venue has only just been refurbished, and has been rebranded as a Hungry Horse, so it sounds completely different from the last time we were there. Here's the official web page, and also some more useful info on the Pub Explorer site.

So post up your interest and/or confirmation on this thread, and I'll keep this post up-to-date with the details.

EDIT: Remembered that this is the day after the RR day in Nottingham, so if you are coming from farther afield, you could make a weekend of it!

A thought - if you could specify if any high chairs are required, and I'll update the list so that I remember to ask the pub for them!

[richy rich]

Lilly and I will try and get to this. Lillys work dependent! As lilly works for hungy horse there maybe some discounts for us all.

[elnevio]

That would be really great if you guys could make it!

[Nick Mann]

Nev - one of ours for a high chair please!

Would be good if Lorr can make it, Rich.

[miller]

Lorr has just been made assistent manager at the Master potter wich is a hungy horse (well done babe) so still not 100% sure if she can make it, Sunday is her day of so does look good for her but who knows. I'm a 95% sure ill be there and ill prob have Jess in tow (don't think there is a need for a high chair but some weapons for her and Mr Mann may be needed).

[miller]

Excellent news Lorraine!!! Will be good to catch up with you guys again

[elnevio]

Great news!

[richy rich]

Ok update Lilly and I will be there Jess has something for her Duke of Edinburgh to do.

[Nick Mann]
