The next 2 rambles are, respectively and chronologically, on 18/11 and 9/12. In November, for reasons of his own, Lafayette has requested a very short ramble and has suggested the popular one from Falmer station to Stanmer house. I am delighted to oblige. I think we are all fans of the fin de siecle opulent decor of Stanmer House, not to mention the fine food, wines and saucy young waitresses. Details to follow.
For the Xmas Ramble, Froggy had the idea of the (again short) walk from Berwick Station to a sumptuous, festive repast at the Cricketers Arms. For once, a good idea Froggy!! Lafayette and myself did a field trip to this establishment and perused the Xmas menu and decided it looked good on paper. Unusually, the courses are individually priced - starters are £7, mains £13 and deserts £6. So you do not have to have 3 courses unless you want to (ha!ha!). Also unusually they do not require a deposit. I have booked a table for 8-9 persons.
This leads to my next point - who is going and who is not? I think the 6 who went on the last ramble are signed up. We will also be joined by the Man in Black - Dio. So, the Bish and the captain - will you be joining us? Please let me know. We have to give our menu choices about a week before 9/12.
In anticipation.......

PS. Is it true that the Cords is soon to go into receivership?
