| Sun 22nd | East Anglia: Last of the Summer Wine Lunch To be held at the Fox Inn, The Green, Finchingfield , CM7 4JX, with parking for Alvis cars at the back of the pub accessed from the right side of the pub near the bridge. Assemble from 11 for coffee. and pay for your drinks and meals as you arrive, so that service can be smooth and efficient, with serving from 12:00. We have chosen the early timing again due to our potential numbers of 25-30, as the pub cannot cope with such a large group during the normal early afternoon sittings, and the only other timing was 16:00, which is far too late for lunch or for driving home in the dark! Please select your menu choices (menu on attachment) and email to stephendhorne@gmail.com, from which a pre-order spreadsheet will be given to The Fox Inn. Last pre-orders must be received by 8th November . Any queries or last minute changes to Steve on 07734481693. |
