EMMGF Kaffenback I - Saturday 2nd November 9:30am start
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 ) 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. I think it might catch on. I'll put the Ponderosa down as a possible venue for one next summer.helsbyman wrote:Well as i said i robed it and we went to a cafe in N Wales called the Ponderosa 13-15 cars turned up some went on to a drive into deeped N Wales and the rest went home.It was a great day and the sun shone all the time

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

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.
