Hi Everyone,

We have brought back an event for November that we tried prior to Covid and it worked well then, during the winter months, so we thought we would try it again, to see what take up was like.

Would it be rude to ask if I could come for the drive but not stay for the meal. :see_no_evil_monkey:. Animal commitments for those who don’t know me. I could stay for 15 mins for a chat .

Hi Kim,

Not at all, you would be very welcome to just do the drive but it would be good if you could stay for just a little while :crossed_fingers:

Kind Regards

Mal

I would like to stay for half hour. If I leave at 1pm I should be home by 2.30, as Toby Pony will be going in his stable at night by then. :horse_face::slightly_smiling_face:
