Back of Beyond 2025 - revised date 5/6 December

[GillianC]

We are arriving Saturday. Look forward to seeing everyone.
Colin & Maria

Look forward to seeing you. The weather is truly shocking here this afternoon but hopefully will have improved by then!

Well, there has been a nice steady stream of Calis coming in this afternoon and I’m sorry that the weather hasn’t been very welcoming!
If you fancy meeting in the bar again tonight there is an area between the main bar and reception where we can gather. They have tidied it up and I think there is a woodburner.
The bar is open from 4-8.

Great evening again with Pizza night.
Tomorrow we should have the use of the area between reception and the bar. They have said we should have plenty of seats and the wood burner will be lit.
There is also a serving hatch through to the bar.
When the entertainment is on we can go through to the main bar to participate.
Hopefully the weather will be kinder to us tomorrow.

Echo that - and thanks for organising Gillian, lovely to meet you all.

Thank you all for coming and joining me. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will admit to feeling a little jaded this morning!
Apparently Peter is doing the same thing again in 2026 on Saturday 5/12 and Julie in the office said they took lots of bookings this morning as people were leaving.
What do you think? Should we make it an event next year? Let me know.
If so we need to get booking by the sound of it!!!
Meanwhile here are some photos as a reminder.
