Better get it well insured then, if you plan to turn up at the MB event .

I have raised my life insurance as a result of feedback from John's GTG

Did you ask the Duke if he was ok with serving mince pies and milled wine?

That would be the late Duke ! - but seriously,they have a great Christmas Fair there and there is a great Hotel called The Peacock Hotel nearby at Rowsley,plus plenty of places to stay in nearby Bakewell etc.

As I say to my team at work: "You're talking yourself into a job!"

Can you check on prices and parking so we have a rough idea then?

Parking for 200 cars - seems more like it........ thats if people don't mind travelling

Cheshire isn't too bad, I picked it as it should be similar timewise for me travelling from Scotland than for someone coming from London. Plus it seems there are a few cheshire/merseyside members.

Depends on what everyone thinks

Sounds good, what about a date. I proposed the 13th, is that suitable?

At the risk of sounding like a rep. for the Peak District Tourist Board - here is another excellent Hotel near Chatsworth. www.izaakwaltonhotel.com
Both this and The Peacock at Rowsley offer excellent trout and fly fishing and walking nearby and Buxton,Ashbourne and Leek offer excellent Christmas shopping for those wishing to extend there stay. Vote away - but I can see the sense in a venue that keeps people in a fairly close proximity in terms off accomodation.
