Saturday should be good Marco. I shall make sure my drinking trousers have been laundered.

Might well be there for this, a few beers are in order for making 2nd cat I reckon.

Might even have scored my first points as a 2nd cat in the afternoon :twisted:

[quote="marco"]If you are coming down from London or up from the sticks its only a 6 minute walk to East Croydon which has trains running all through the night so it shouldnt be a problem getting back


...unless you are Jon Hemming - :P :twisted: :P lost en route last time..... :shock:

Have a blast folks - sorry I can't be there :(

Anyone attending - go in and ask for a 'half and half' and you'll score some brownie points immediately.

Apparantly the Czechs like to drink it back in the old country - its a mix of the imported Budwar Lite and Dark, hence half and half and hence the name of the place - its only the strength of a regular lager so you've got nothing to worry about on that front

Not that I've been spending any time in there of course :roll:

Yeah but do you trust a Huw drink recommendation. :wink:

He'll probably have his camera poking out the window of CW Towers to record the results of our experimentation. :)

I was close to going on a trial run last night - especially when I met Mr Rob Crozier heading up there, but the lunchtime training session kicked in when I got home and I fell asleep in front of the track racing

Woke up an hour later with a warm cat on my chest and 3 gold medals :D

Very good evening. Great place and good booze, Good to meet Sarah this evening. Budvar dark = thumbs up, and the half and half was nice too - not the rocket fuel I expected from a Huw recommendation :D .

Guttet I missed this social.

I marshaled the JBS race and and rode home with Steve and Matt, we had bags on our backs and the weather was not our best friend. At 8pm Saturday night I didn't even have the energy to reach over to the phone to book a cab to go out :lol:

Can't wait for the next one, Book it soon so I can sort a cab out now please :roll:

All the best, Marky Mark
