Curry house finalised at 36.


Seating us at 3 tables...so that's:

- early group (me and those of us at Sinatra's)

- on time group (track day junkies)

- late group (track day casualties) ;-)


Banquet style menu, due to scale of our party. Hope that's ok for everyone.


Veggies will be catered for on the night, seem to remember they rustled up a couple of excellent bespoke veggie dishes to order last year, contact your waiter for details :-)


Drive safe everybody, see you at Hawes or the Premier Travel Inn or adjacent Bar or at the track on Sat as appropriate!

Thanks, Campbell.

Note the restaurant website says that "it oozes with class from the decor to the fashionable clientele"

oozes with class?

Will they let me in? Does that mean I have to bring shoes?

If I remember correctly last year, I had my classy black silk trews on, Burt Reynolds white jacket, trainers, and they would not even let me into the Pub that we went to after dinner.

They had bouncers on a pub????????????? What the hell is the world coming to? Have I suddenly come to after a 30 year Coma?

Yeah but you spoiled the distinguished air of sophisticated elegance by wearing a pair of worn out 20 year old gutties. :lol:

The restaurant is 8) Stayed at the pikey lodge just up from it last summer.

I was hoping to make it down, but didn't know whether I could until the weekend there. As I suspected, I can't :(


Have a good one all :thumbsup

Well I've got my digital SLR with me this year - only had a wee compact last time! - but I can't vouch for the quality of the pics. I'll see what I can do though...There are plenty others with big skills in this area though I suspect they are all on track :-)

its not raining currently, but it has been. Its looks ominous to the south also - suspect I'm going to be swimming at some points :mrgreen:

Still meeting Walshy for a pint when we get down so that should ensure I've got the beer coat on later :thumbsup
