Dear Fellow NERDS,
The time for our annual festive knees-up
is approaching. A week from today as I write. Wednesday 9th.
Seaford types should take the 10.25 train, collecting Lafayette en route, arriving at Lewes at 10.44. As is now our custom, we then repair to The Runaway Cafe (apparently soon to close, by the way) for a coffee and an optional brandy.
The Berwick train leaves at 11.09 and arrives at 11.20. As you have probably guessed, we then visit The Berwick Arms for a couple of stirrup-cups of whatever you fancy.
Then we tackle the rigours of the cycle-path and quiet lanes to The Cricketers, where we are booked for the meal at 13.00 hrs. An unashamedly tarmac ramble. Boots, muddy or not, should not be required.
One point, previous Xmas rambles have been a little chaotic on the finance side due to people ordering drinks (wine, etc)
and putting them on the bill. This makes it difficult when the bill arrives, as some NERDS drink less than others! Therefore it might be an idea if people buy their own drinks at the bar - sharing a bottle with a chum, for example. Just an idea.
Hope everyone turns up and that we all have a jolly good time.
Exotic headgear, badges and unruly behaviour - are all optional!
