Ta very much. In kid-like anticipation... Two sleeps to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kettle 1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hi Bob many thanks for arranging the Butley Ash - Can you add two more from the Pub Classics part of the menu of Brewers Chicken, from the Oakham PSSA members. Photo taken the year XH558 finished flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just a word of warning about getting there. On the How to get here on the website the map on the bottom of the page shows a postcode of SK7 1AG, that will take you on a narrow single track road to the Avro Golf Club on the wrong side of the airfield fence from which there is no access to the Museum. Ask us how we found out........ The Golf Club told us that seemingly everyone tries to go that way, we certainly weren't the only ones that day. Further up the page it quotes SK7 1QR and putting that in Google Maps shows that is the correct entrance from which you follow the peri track around to the Museum. I'd suggest a quick look on Google Maps satellite view before departure, to get your orientation, would be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Phil/Bob, I shall be coming to the museum with the family - 2 adults, 2 children, but we shan't be eating at the pub as we need to get back early. Thanks for your efforts on our behalf. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jennings 1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I've pre-booked the 7 food orders that have come through so far with the Butley Ash. We are currently 13 for lunch, and I'm getting really hungry now just thinking about it! I've not asked whether they have a spare table for us to build our Hurricanes on, that might be pushing it a bit. Although the beer garden does have some hefty benches...
