Count me in as well! Not working now, was originally, will be without B though, just me on my own, get to chat properly though.
Is the pub the big one on the right as you're going into Long Eaton from the A52?

No Charlotte its not that one ......... its near sawley.

easiest way to get there is off the a50....take the long eaton exit and follow the signs to sawley....its about a mile down that road on the right hand side.

Be great to see you again

Dont tell her that Charl.   We like making her wear that pink cowboy hat at meets.   Grin

Besides she made me flipping wear it last time so she needs to have a bash at it i think.   Tongue

If you come off the M1 at junction 24, and head towards Sawley, you'll come to a big roundabout as soon as you've left the A50.  There are two or three roads off this which are signposted 'Sawley' and you want the last one (I think it's the third).  If in doubt, go round the roundabout again.

As long as you follow the signs to Long Eaton, B6540, and for Sawley Marina, you'll be ok.


Just to remind you, the pub is close to Attenborough Nature reserve, which is good for a walk before/after lunch.

http://www.attenboroughnaturecentre.co.uk/

and the Nature reserve is just down the road from a reasonable Next discount outlet.

Hi, I'm looking at still trying to make this one, but will have to get myself away earlyish, as the new man has invited me to his cousins birthday at 2.30! Will keep you posted at whether or not I can make it.
Thanks for the offer of a lift John, but because of time etc, will pass this time.
Very grateful for lifts when plaster was on, but I can now drive WOOHOO!!
See you all soon xx
