Hi Nic, You are very welcome to join us - in fact I was wondering how you'd settled the other day & thought about pm'ing you to see if you wanted to come but didn't want to seem pushy. It's not too far from Alsager, just jump on the M6 & off again at Junction 14; I'm going to sort out directions & let people know. I'm happy for OH to come, don't think anyone will mind as long as he can stand horse talk all evening without glazing over!

I really enjoyed it, nice to meet everyone and a big thanks to Debbie for 1st class organisation. Shame some people didn't come but you can't have everything - it was a nice place, food was lovely and just that bit different. And a chocolate fountain!!!

Big thanks to Debbie too. It turned out a good night.
I was on best behaviour...and need to point out - I DID NOT touch the chocolate fountain. I have my figure to watch lol.
The food was really good, those that didnt go missed a good night.
Even if we were nearly the last ones out.. Thanks to Nic's hubby for raiding the ice cream, again. So being the ladies we all were, we had to join him!
Hope we all do it again soon, and hopefully more attend, as its a lot of hard work arranging these things around everyones work and family commitments... But Debbie rose to the occassion. Well done x

Thanks Jill & Jan, I enjoyed it too & it was great to meet everyone! We'll have to have another meet up so if anyone's got any ideas please let me know.
Jan, your self-restraint with the chocolate fountain was amazing - watch you don't fade away! ;D

Lovely to meet everyone, although how most of you managed ice cream I'll never know - I can hardly move even now I managed to take a wrong turn on the way back from Jill's so had a tour of Telford Stupid road signs......!

Hi All
It was a really nice evening and we had a good laugh. It was lovely to meet everyone and yes the food was good. Gaz is always up for a bit more ice cream and not a bit embarassed!!! So hopefully next time there will be a few more of us, and thanks to debbie for organising it.

Oops Dawn! Knew there was something I forgot, but we were that busy eating & talking I forgot to take any photos!
Waverider - sorry, I missed your post but don't know of any yards in the Stafford area - we're a bit further north.
Rhillahorse - see you next time!

Waverider - try Baswich Farm, where they have the farm shop, off the Uttoxeter Road. I sent a pony on loan to there recently, seems a nice enough place. Or ask Sue Brown, she may have visited a fair few since she moved to Stafford. There's always Rodbaston if you want formal and pricey with lots of facilities.
