Hi All
I have confirmed that the show near Newark is on for the 11th, so pushing ahead on that weekend.
We took a drive out today and called in at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa (
https://www.petwood.co.uk) which has an interesting wartime history and has a large car park. I was thinking of it being a early afternoon coffee/lunchtime stop as they offer a simple coffee/tea through to full lunch if you are that hungry…..
We also called in at a local Pub/Restaurant/Hotel the Hare and Hounds (
https://hareandhoundsfulbeck.com) at Fulbeck which we have been going to for years and have put a provisional booking for the evening of the 10th. They also have rooms available, all are doubles, but there is a single occupancy price at a small discount.
The other reasonably local hotel worth considering is the Old Barn near Marston which has plenty of parking and a pool etc.
A bit of Googling will bring up various other options, but they were the ones which came to mind.
I was proposing to meet up at our house in Oasby, East of Grantham, postcode NG32 3NA for tea/coffee/ toast/croissant etc (no meat, sorry..) and to set off for a reasonably long drive heading for The Wolds and eventually zsstopping at The Petwood for a break, then a shorter drive back. For those interested we could take in the perimeter roads of RAF Coningsby and Waddington. No idea if there will be any activity on a Saturday…..
For Sunday, probably meet up at the Hare and Hounds assuming some are staying there, if not maybe our place, then shortish drive out to get to the show at Muskham just off the A1 at around 11ish. I assume folk will then make their way onward from the show. The show is a charity raising event put on by my local club, The East Midlands Classic Vehicle Club.
When we get nearer the time I will need to have an idea of numbers to let the Petwood and the Hare and Hounds know, so if you know you are coming please let me know how many.
Thanks
Peter
