EMMGF Kaffenback I - Saturday 2nd November 9:30am start

Post by Phil_B » Fri Sep 20, 2013 9:46 am

A date for the diary. Saturday 2nd November 2013 - 09:30.

The first (hopefully of many) East Midlands MGF Register Kaffenbak. I have shamelessly stolen this idea from the cycling community (and the name from a bike manufacturer).

The basic idea is that we all drive to a cafe and back (geddit, cafe 'n' back = Kaffenbak). It's not a run, more of a meet but at a greasy spoon cafe somewhere rather than a pub. We'll meet at 9:30 on the Saturday morning and probably be there for a couple of hours, then the rest of the day is yours to do as you please, either go off for a drive or head home for kid duties (that'll be me!).

I'm going for a tried and tested (many times :thumbsu: ) venue for the first one. It's a great cafe with a selection of mammoth (and more sensible) fried breakfasts.

The Salt Box Cafe
2 Derby Rd
Nr Hatton
Derby
DE65 5PT‎


Look forward to seeing you there!

Nice one. :thumbsu: I think it might catch on. I'll put the Ponderosa down as a possible venue for one next summer.

Hi All,

Well, today's HGF repair didn't quite go to plan and the mechanic has to come back tomorrow morning. As a result I am very unlikely to be there at 9:30 tomorrow. I will try to get there as soon as I can, but not sure what time that will be.

If someone wants to send me their mobile number (via PM) I'll text or ring you tomorrow morning when I know more.

Really sorry about this folks, hope to see you tomorrow.

Thanks
Phil Brindley

Hi all. Sorry I couldn't get there today. Mechanic didn't get here until later than planned so didn't leave until gone twelve. Hope you had a good breakfast, I've got some lovely venues lined up for next year, less truck stop more farm shop.

See you at the clock warehouse.
Phil
