Pre Christmas Meet.
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2018 4:35 pm
It must be getting to that time of year again when we think about putting cars into hibernation again. Mind you, I haven't had my Healey out of the garage since April!
I was thinking of organising a lunch and a meet up in a few months so just proposing something below.
Can you let me know who is interested before I book anything to see how we are with numbers please. Obviously open to all as long as it's pre booked. All welcome.
I'm proposing a get together on Sunday 2nd December 2018 at lunchtime. Venue: Lindores Abbey Distillery in Newburgh, Fife.

I realise this is some distance for some members but I needed to pick somewhere central so it is around a 1.5-2 hour drive for us as well. next year we could pick somewhere either further south of further north. Last January's post Christmas meet up at Blackfoot was down on numbers owing to the falling snow.
The distillery is really interesting, newly reopened, as you can see from the website. I was speaking to one of the family regarding the proposed booking and I was told a story of how her Mother ran out of brakes in their Interceptor many years ago and planted it on a roundabout. Much to her Fathers dismay.
So, the details. At the moment I was thinking of a buffet with 2 hot dishes, 4 side dishes and 2 pudding for a cost of £25 per head which includes a discount.
We would have an exclusive area to ourselves but which area would depend on the numbers but probably the Legacy Bar.
We have also been offered an informal tour of the distillery in with the cost of the food whereas a normal tour would be £12.50 per person.
Let me know what you think please. I have provisionally booked the 2nd December but as we know at that time of year venues can get booked up fairly quickly.
