We aim to be back in the Carnforth area around 16.30-1700 to allow time for people time to get ready for the evening meal. Anyone not staying locally that wants to attend the meal is welcome to come back to our house for a freshen up.

That looks fabulous Mandy. Thank you so much. I will be doing nudges about food choices etc where relevant tomorrow.
Gary and I are hoping to be there from the start and after we wave goodbye on Sunday, we will then head off to Windemere where we have booked an overnight in a fancy hotel with a lake view room 😊
Looking forward to seeing you all
 
No as we we won't be going that way during this trip but thanks for the advice. I just got back from Scotland and will adding full itinerary soon.
Are you joining us? You don't appear to be on the list.
We never know what we will be doing from one day to the next due to 3 very young Grandchildren !

30 Months, 21 Months and 4 Months.

Hi Teresa, just filled in the form hope it's come through.
 
Hi @Teresa,

I have just completed the form on behalf of myself and Jessica.

I'll be involved in the whole weekend, from start to finish, and Jessica should be with us from the moment she finishes work on Friday evening.

Really looking forward to this. :)

Tom
Thank you 😊
 
We will be around Friday but decided not to go to dinner to save some pennies! 😅 @Teresa how do we go about the dinner for Saturday. Is there another online form for that one or we just message you? Many thanks!

Hi Virginia
I think you still use the same form, if you just answer the questions one by one it then comes to dinner for Saturday evening click yes then write in the box your choices.
Look forward to seeing you again
 
Just a reminder for anyone planing to use M6 J36 Countryfest is on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th June at Westmorland Showground ( Crooklands ) as is Ulverston Retro Rendezvous on both days. Roads around J36 may be very congested on those days. Route to Ulverston is A590. Lakeland Motor Museum is just Off A590 at Haverthwaite. Good job there is no Race Meeting at Cartmel that weekend.
