Wednesday 3rd October Pub Night Trudi We so liked the Queens Head when we went there in August, that we've decided to go again. Meet from 8.30 for excellent beer and sparkling conversation. Formerly called The Partners, the pub is in Lower Anchor Street, off B1007 New London Road, Chelmsford. (Grid ref TL702063, see map) Saturday 6th October George's Birthday Dinner George marks the passing of yet another year with a hearty meal at the Three Elms public house in Chignal St James, 8.00 for 8.30pm. He's eager for all his friends to join him, but needs to know numbers in advance so the table can be booked. As George has yet to enter the modern age of telecommunications, please declare your intentions to Dave P before 3rd October. The pub is at grid ref TL675096, see map - take the A1060 (Rainsford Rd./Roxwell Rd.) out of Chelmsford; turn right at lights into Chignall Rd., after 1 mile turn left (Mashbury Rd) signposted Chignall St. James. The Three Elms is on the right after another mile. Wednesday 10th October Annual General Meeting Join us for a fun-packed evening where we review the events of the year and elect the committee to take us into 2002! Please make every effort to attend at 8.30pm as we need a minimum no of members before we can start the meeting. Take the opportunity to shape our future! Jim is resigning as chairman because he will be devoting his spare time to a training course for the next few months. Dave Julian has been nominated to succeed Jim. Other nominations may be made at the meeting. Written motions for the meeting may be sent to the Secretary, Lorna Benson. Wednesday 17th October US Coast to Coast Slide Show US coast to coast...after reading Jane's and Dave's articles you will all want to come rushing to see the slides...the streets of San Francisco, Al Capone's cell at Alcatraz, the Golden Gate, the domes, peaks and waterfalls (and bears) of Yosemite, ridiculous views, the Pacific coast, the Boston Tea party, sailing with the Kennedys, golf with George W, the Mayflower and the gentler countryside of Massachusetts. Don't be late as seats are bound to go quickly!!! Friday 19th to Sunday 21st October Meerbrook, Peak District

Venue is Riverside sports centre in Victoria Rd, Chelmsford (see map) at 9pm (depending on court booking) with compulsory apres-game drink in the bar afterwards. Please let Dave know if you are interested at least a week in advance so he can book the right number of courts. Cost £2-£3. Sunday 28th October Walk in Weald Country Park Trudi The walk postponed from March due to flooding and foot & mouth. Weald Park, north-west of Brentwood, is a mix of semi-formal parkland, large areas of woodland and the remnants of a medieval deer park.Meet 11am at the main car park ¼ mile NW of South Weald village (Grid ref TQ570939, see map). The walk is 9 miles with shorter options, bring sandwiches for lunch. Wednesday 31st October Halloween Night Trudi Why stay in and put up with all those little horrors that come knocking at your door trick-or-treating? Come and spend your Halloween with us instead! Trudi is hosting a traditional pumpkin carving and foul food night. The pumpkin carving is pretty self explanatory, but for foul food you will need to exercise the dark corners of your imagination. The basic idea is to bring along food that looks disgusting, but is perfectly edible (I feel I should emphasise that last part) - rice maggots, spaghetti worms, amputated finger sausages, etc. the world of food colouring is your oyster.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford |
