Hi Mal.
We have now booked the Oaks hotel in Alnwick from 18/9 to 24/9
Looks Like a lot of the accommodation is being snapped up.
Richard and Clare.
Hi Tug,
Many thanks for that and its great you managed to book the Oaks. The Oaks is not far from us, as it’s SE of the town and we are SW. There are a couple of others that are booked in the same area as you👍
This one is shaping up very nicely🙂
Best Regards
Mal
Bookings for Northumberland are going very well but as Tug has mentioned in his post above, the accommodation in the Alnwick area is being snapped up in September, so it may be wise for those wishing to join us in this tour to try and book something this weekend, to be sure of having somewhere to stay🤞
Best Regards
The Solent Area Northumberland Team

Sorry Mal we’ve been away. Yes still interested. I’m not quite clear how many nights in Northumbria. Thanks
Hi Mal,
Lynn and I will be joining you. We have booked into the Holiday Inn Express, Warwick for the Sat and Sunday and then onto our accommodation in Alnwick for a few days: accommodation in Alnwick also booked.
Speak soon.

Hi Mal
We’ve booked the Premier Inn in Alnwick 18-23 as it offers the best accessible facilities.
Cheers,

Hi Mal, I think it best that you also remove Richard and I from the Northumberland tour too. This is due to Richard’s ill health. Thanks,
Christine
Good morning Christine,
I was sorry to see your message, saying Richard is too unwell at the moment. I sincerely hope Richard’s health improves soon and you can both join us for another of our events.
Regards
Mal
Hi Mal,
Sorry to say that we need to remove Sheila and myself from the Northumberland tour due to Sheila’s extremely limited mobility issues. Shame, as we were both very much looking forward to it. Many thanks.
Best regards,
Graham & Sheila
Hi Graham & Sheila,
So sorry to hear that you are withdrawing from the Northumberland Tour but realise that Sheila’s Health & Comfort must come first and its a long way up T’North😁
We hope to catch up with you both at some more local drives and events soon.
Warm Regards
Mal
Hi Mal, sorry to say you will have to strike us off the list for this trip as Nick has ongoing dental issues and been advised against going. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to it

Please could those names in BOLD, confirm attendance or not, so we know how many we will finally have on this tour.
The original Pub that was co-loacted to the Holiday Inn has now changed to a MacDonalds 
So, I phoned the reception and they recommended the Racehorse Pub, Warwich, just a short distance up the Stratford Road. 4 mins by car or 29 mins on foot, so if you want to get your steps in for the day this could be a good option 
The menu for the Racehorse Pub, looks standard fayre - see link given below;
The Racehorse Pub, Warwick (racehorsewarwick.co.uk)
I am booking a table for 10 at The Racehorse for Saturday night and if need be can increase this nunber, given the responses to this post, so please let me know, by replying to this post if you wish to be included for Sat, Sat and Sunday or just Sunday night for evening meal.
Not long to go now and we are really looking forward to this one 
Best Regards
Mal
