THE PROPOSALWe are going to have a weekend away in a (couple of) large farmhouse cottage thing(s), where we will eat, drink, be merry and play games that require not a computer or a console to play them. This will be open to any and all Beexers, and their significant others, should they be brave enough to join us.
I've been
HERE before with Bobby and a bunch of other chums, and it's a great place to stay. There are rolling fields, a garden to play footy in, tons of rooms and beds, a full sized snooker table, a pool table, a fussball table, a massive kitchen, and is only a couple of minutes from a massive Asda, so booze replenishment.
For food, I know that Mrs Curio is very keen on cooking for everyone at least once, as she likes doing that kind of thing. Last time we were there she made two epic pots of chilli (one veggie, one meaty), which was awesome. This will probably be food for Friday night. For other foods we can sort out our own stuff, or other people can also do cookings.
For getting there, I'm sure that helpful Beexers would be happy to give lifts to those along the way, or be able to pick people up from whatever station is nearest (I forget which it is).
Location of the place is:
Stenson Hill Farm
Nr. Derby
DE73 7FZ
(There's a longer address which I'll dig up at some point).
So, who's interested?
DETAILS!We will have the place from Friday 15th October until Monday morning (we need to be out by 10am). I expect most people will probably return home at some point on the Sunday, but you can stay if you want to. On the Friday we (strictly speaking) have the place from 3pm, but I've had a word with the owner and he said that as long as they haven't had a late booking using the cottage on the Thursday night then we can have it from whatever time we want it. I'm to call him a week before to find out.
COST!Should be 70 quid per person, as long as we get 30 people. Here's the list of people currently interested. Please feel free to add your name in the thread. It's never too late, etc.
