Sorry John, I am afraid that you have added our names by accident.

I'd like to come, please, John.

There's a possibility that Emily may come with me, but that depends on work-related factors, which probably won't be resolved for at least a couple of weeks.

John, I'd like a place and plus Jacky, but not sure she can make that weekend yet. Is is possible to to make a provision booking for definitely 1, but possibly 2? Thanks.

Phil, not by accident, if you look back at an early posting about Knighton you requested places for the three of you. George and Simon will put you down for 1 possibly 2. Is it something about club chairman and ex-club chairman?

John,

As mentioned at the hill climb, apologies but I will have to withdraw from this due to other commitments.

Not to sure what I am doing in terms of riding over as yet.

When are you planning the walk for Andy, Saturday or the Sunday?

I'm planning a walk for Saturday. It is a figure-of-8 route with 2 loops of approx 5 miles, coming back to Knighton (for lunch) at the half way point. We are aiming to start at 10.30 from the Horse and Jockey, lunch at 1.00, finish by 4.00 in the usual cafe. Options to do morning, afternoon, or both.

There isn't a group riding from Black Horse Alan, Laurence & I are making our own ways to Bewdley to meet John for about 10:30 at Riverside Cafe. If you want to ride there with me just give me a bell or a message.

Are you stopping at Burford on the way back? I'll aim to roll up there about 11:30 on Sunday, unless I hear that some other route or café or schedule is planned.

Another thanks from Lucy and I, and the food and the service in the Horse and Jockey was truly outstanding.
