Hi Ian & Sharon.

Will be at Ponderosa at 11.00 Elaine and I , Roy and Sue are all down for Pancake House. Not sure if Senna88 is meeting up with us and all going together. The weather here and Noth Wales is really bad with lots of roads flooded yesterday...Lets hope it improves for Saturday. Don't want to be late back on Saturday so earlier the better at Pancake House the better for us......Take care .....looking forward to seeing you both.

Hi David, I'll be coming from Manchester and won't pass by yours on the way so I'll just meet you at Ponderosa. I might try and catch Kare and Phill in Wrexham on the way?

Is there any chance we can do 4pm for dinner? As I'm supposed to be back in Manchester for 7ish for a birthday do (plus I'll probably be hungry by then :p)

Hi Sean, If you are going to Wrexham we could meet you and Kare / Phil . I take it you will go to Chester and pick up A55 and come off on the A483 for Wrexham- Llay- Gresford. If you keep on that road and take the A539 to Llangollen . Mile or so down that road you go past a pub Hampen Arms on your right just past this there is a car park on your right we could meet you there, if you want. Let me know you have my mobile number. Regarding eating at 4.00pm that suits me . But Ian & Sharon have kindly arranged so need to sort with them really. Looking forward to seeeing your car now it's been sprayed.

Meet up at the Ponderosa from 11am with a view of setting off at 12 noon. With the run planned we should make it to the pancake house for 4:30pm at the latest. Table has already been booked for 5 pm, but if we turn up a little bit early hopefully they should still get us in. (They are staying open late just for our group)
Sean, it should only take 1 hour 30 mins to get from Conway to the heart of Manchester so that should leave you enough time to have a large pancake! Saying that, the large pancake may slow your drive to Manchester!

Is it the Ponderosa cafe?

Kingsley sounds like a plan, what time do you think I need to set off to meet you there?

Ian sorry I don't mean to try and alter plans just to suit me so I'll go with the flow, if anything I'll just have to make good progress on the way back!

Mile or so down that road you go past a pub Hampen Arms on your right just past this there is a car park on your right we could meet you there, if you want.
