16/03/2022 19:35:57 SlapHeadDiver Duncan is working this weekend and plans to leave an hour early on Sunday i.e. 16:00, 2 hours to us at Syresham, shower and change before we head up to the Green Man say 19:00 to allow a bit of slack for traffic etc. Hopefully this will fit in with table time

17/03/2022 15:05:10 NigelS Have put in a reservation for 16 of us at 7:30pm on Sunday. See you all there.

17/03/2022 17:21:04 SlapHeadDiver Thanks Nigel Safe journey one and all

See you all there.[/QUOTE] Update - am having huge issues confirming our booking as for 16 of us they consider this a "party" booking and haven't confirmed and I can't get them to answer phone calls or emails at the moment. I am currently looking at alternatives but these will involve travelling a short distance away from the Premier Inn site.

19/03/2022 15:47:50 SlapHeadDiver We've finally booked two tables of eight at the Green Man for 19:30. See you tomorrow tonight Mark
