Northants Group venue needed.
Ok so I have just rung the Overstone Manor and got clarification.
They WILL be closed this Sunday (30th March) for about one month (until Approx 3rd May)
So gentlemen we had better have some suggestions and a decision as to where we will be holding our meeting on the 9th April.
any takers or suggestions........................
over to you ladies and gentlemen...................

Greyhound Milton Malsor? 
If its dry you can sit outside (or even under cover with heaters) and keep an eye on the motors.
Good beer and food as well.

How about the pub in sywell just up the road, cant remeber what its called but it has adecent car park and think its used by other car clubs also.
Alternative is the bar at Sywell airport .

The pub in Sywell is called The Horseshoe.

I'd also suggest the Aviator at Sywell Airport. Big car park with adjacent outdoor sitting area and a few airplanes to see.

I spoke to Dave Richardson this morning, he apologised that he is very tied up at the moment due to personal family reasons. I mentioned to him about
the manor being closed and he suggested The Horseshoe as well. giving the large car park as a bonus. I mentioned about the Aviator at Sywell and he
said that it might not be so good there due to them closing the gated car park early in the evening and the airport car park gets rather full.
Dave did say that he would try and get to the next meeting.
So at this point I think most seem to be pointing towards the Horseshoe.
Any other suggestions? ........................

The only problem with the Horseshoe is, it's not very big inside, and it's usually very busy, so it may be difficult for a large group to
get seated.

How about the Lakeside opposite the Britania on the Bedford Road. I have been told the pub is plenty big enough ideal seating areas and a large car
park. Remeber this is what I've been told not what I know.  Or we could always all gather round my house and the women can stay and chat and
us blokes can go to where I work and have a look around the cars. The trip to work would have to be after 9pm  ATB Trev
