SteveR Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Midlands Christmas Meal! Saturday 6th December - 1pm Food & Drink The Farm restaurant, Solihull - Just off the M42 between Junctions 4 and 5 so it's nice & central for all Midlands people (and anyone else who fancies it!) postcode is B90 4EH - map Accommodation Burna found this: Corus, Solihull, £51/room (It's 1.3 miles from the restaurant, so a short stagger or an even shorter taxi ride.) postcode is B90 4EB - map The restaurant doesn't require deposits, but I don't want to say there are 30 of us going then only see 20 turn up as they are reserving tables for us and wouldn't take kindly to being mucked about. So please only post up if you are DEFINITELY going. Thanks. We'll sit down to eat at 1pm, and those of us that are in it for a session, will stay 'till we're no longer welcome. 1.

SteveR Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Anyone fancy doing a cheapo 'secret santa'? We do this at my diving club and it's a bit of a laugh. £5 max, boys buy a boy present, girls buy a girl present, pick a prezzie out of the appropriate bag. Yay or nay?

AlexM (Likes the colour Pink and drives an N/A, but goes much faster than me in my BPU in corners where his ground clearance is much higher so can easily go over the high curbs, however on the straights is dreadfully slow and gets his ass beat every time) Nothing like being honest. i couldnt agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Bugger it, just read the email from the Corus hotel and it says the earliest I can check in is 2pm Looks as if Jule and I will be eating later or just coming for drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 There are 2 Premier travel lodges in Shirley, 1 near the Corus hotel by the Plough Pub on the Stratford rd and 1 a couple of miles further into Shirley also on the Stratford rd next to the Saracens Head Pub. Also theres quite a few speed cameras in that area, several on the Stratford rd to and from the M42 and on Monkspath Hall rd so be carefull, Stratford rd dual carrigeway is a 40 limit and Monkspath Hall Rd is a 30. Also watch out for the police jumping out from bus shelters with there speed guns, almost got caught a few days ago half a mile from the Corus Hotel !

Burna Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Cheers Dunk I originally tried the Premier's but they wanted nearly £70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Good info there Dunk. Burna, why not come for the food, then one of you nip out afterwards and check into the hotel, quick taxi ride back (or lift from a non-drinking member) and jobs a good 'un! Doh, forgot to ask about set menu - I shall aim to do that tonight Linda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Cheers Dunk I originally tried the Premier's but they wanted nearly £70 No problem, just thought seeing as i live 5 mins away i'd throw in my 2p Ive just looked and it says £52 for a weekend night so might be worth a call.
