If you are thinking "Eastern" wouldn't somwhere more central be a good idea? (Can't believe I'm saying this - i could walk to Gib Gardens in ten minutes!). Dereham?

Gib gardens has a decient size car park and a beer garden, perhaps if somebody could start suggesting some dates, so those of you who work on the weekends don't get left out...

Just caught up on this thread. I'm in Norwich also. i'd been keen to join a meet. I note that no one has suggested dates yet .... so I'll stick my newbie neck out and list Sun15 or Sun22 of July at the Gib pub (which I've no idea where it is but I'm sure I'll find it) or am I barking up the wrong tree with a Sunday? Cheers. M.

Perhaps some clever person could move this thread to the meets section.A Sunday evening is good for me,depending on my start time for work,and if I have been sailing that weekend!!22 July is better,as we return from holiday late on the 14th.Can someone in Norwich post a map or a postcode or even an address for the suggested pub,please?

Firm attendees:

Update the list as you post.

I'd expect a drop out rate of 30% so I'd say we need about a minimum of 8 firm attendees which would result in 5 turning up. Any less than this and is it worth it....?

This is not going to happen without greater attendance. Therefore I suggest an alt date of August 26th.
