Harold has asked me to let you all know that he and his Veena plan to move to Scotland within some weeks to be near their daughter Shivali. It is Harold's wish to have a little party to which all Wayfarers are invited, not this time at his home where many of us have enjoyed lovely Indian food in the past but at a Midweek Wayfarers venue!
Question is where?
Harold would like it to be at the Cobham British Legion but it may not be large enough for all to sit down comfortably and for practical reasons does not fit in with our rides pattern as a lunchtime venue Veena would like to have a venue where she can bring in hot food with access to a kitchen facility to brew tea etc. She does not plan to cook as such but maybe keep things warm. They would like to serve food as a lunch between 1pm to 2pm. Again difficult at any day centre venue as they are supplying lunches for their normal customers.
We have however been invited to say a Christmas lunch at on venue in the past? to share with the regulars. I have talked to Jeff about the practicality and explained to Harold that the rides list is already published for Sept/Oct (where's my copy?) so its not easy to just make things coincide. One suggestion could be arrange at the time of MWW AGM or the DA AGM at Walton on Hill. Another could be hire the facilities at Nonsuch Park but I suspect that would be costly.
Veena and Harold would like to do this within Sept/Oct but its all tied in with when they find a buyer for their house! Early November may be quite practical.
May I invite any comments of suggestions as to venues, particularly from Colin, Dave Aylett and Pete Barnard or anyone else who knows the venues better than either Jeff or me! May I also suggest that if any of the Ladies would like to help on the day I'm sure it would be appreciated and Lynda you may have some ideas on this front?
There will be a prize for the one that comes up with the winning solution so put your thinking caps on!

What a lovely suggestion from Harold and Veena. One possibility--if the date suited H & V--might be for the lunch to be on the day of the AGM, 14 Oct. If Cobham RBL was available (and met Veena's needs) we could all cycle over from Hersham after the meeting to arrive at Cobham at about 1pm. I'm sure we could all fit in the RBL somehow.

The Sept-Oct Rides list should now be on the DA website!
Bill Stead to celebrate his 90th birthday used the day centre at Cobham round the corner with plenty of room and buffet style
