One of the details I had been holding out for...

I've just had confirmation that we will also be having lunch at Blenheim Palace on Sunday 23rd April.

 

[flyingfish]

We were originally provisional, but I'd like to change that to confirmed if poss. Also, can we grab a suite before they all go pretty please Mark?

Is there an Ice Cream Parlour, how close is the nearest Costa (for Envelope) and Starbucks (for me and you)?

I can now answer this and say that the nearest Costa for @#steve is 1.5 miles away from the hotel.

Is there a Zip Wire?

Not that I've been able to find, unless there is one lurking in the Fire Service College.

However, I'm reasonably confident we could have a Zip Wire where I'm already planning for 2024.

Are we there yet?

Oh dear... it's going to be a long "journey" isn't it? Only another 238 days to go

 

[Black Pig]

Get me, Anne and the big guy signed right up....

 

[Trooper]

Do we need a Transport Manager for this meeting and if we do, will he be able too sorce Cheap Fuel for us.

I don't think we'll need the services of a transport manager on this occasion - I'm working on a different solution

...but hopefully petrol/diesel may have continued to fall in price by the time April comes around.🤞

 

[flyingfish]

50 shades will be brim full of 99 octane 5% ethanol before we leave our village, there's a Shell station on the corner of our cul de sac!

 

[Super350]

Even if 'Tibbles' were brim full of 99 Octane 5% ethanol before he/she/it leaves our house (it will be so...), he/she/it will be gasping for more by the time we get near the Cotswolds

I've got you down as about 225 miles to the Fire Service College, Simon

They like a swig lol, up Northumberland yesterday so that be 870 miles since setting off for Stirling last weekend.

 

[flyingfish]

But perhaps he has no points and drives at 85mph in 4th instead of 79 in 6th

 

[MarkFY]

Just a quick heads-up - on the back of the Jaguar Breakfast Club's visit to JLR Classic Works near Coventry on Saturday 1st October and in order to extend the day and increase the fun:miles ratio even higher than usual...

I've put together a bonus event for the afternoon at the relatively nearby Silverstone Museum.

If you're interested in joining us for the full day, or just the afternoon... check out the details here...

MEET 1st October 2022 - Jaguars at Silverstone...

The amazing Jaguar Breakfast Club are holding their monthly meet at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works facility at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, near Coventry on Saturday 1st October. As many of us travel quite a few miles for these morning gatherings, I thought it might be a good idea to look at doing...
