Essex & Adjoining Counties Meet - SUNDAY, 10th December, 10am Brunch, Details in topic

Post by Essex2Visuvesi »

We are honoring the late Ray Harrison aka Harrizone, who was one of the founder members of this wonderful car club, by attending the Essex Meet that he started many years ago =D> =D> =D> =D>

Over the winter period, we are trying out a new format, Sunday Brunch meets. We hope this might be more attractive than turning out on a cold, dark, and often wet Friday evening. It also avoids the issue of a lot of night closures of the A12 for long term roadworks.

The venue selected for December is this one, The Black Horse Cafe:

https://www.oliversplants.co.uk/drinks-and-breakfast/


Date: Sunday 6th Dec
Time: 10am


It is situated not too far off the A12, between Coggeshall and Earls Colne, near Earls Colne Airfield. Ian Mothersole reminded of this venue, one that a few of us road-tested a while back on a Sunday runout. It currently has a small area set up as a Christmas Market, selling local hand-crafted goods. Gwyn and I visited, sampled the lovely breakfast and ended up buying a few items in the market area!

I urgently need confirmation of whether you are coming and number in your party, so I can book whilst they still have availability. I spotted high chairs for Felix, plus any other infants who you may wish to bring along.

Would anyone want a post brunch drive around the area afterwards (30-60 mins max)? If so, please let me know and I'll set something up.

Table booked for ? :D

I hope to make the next meet and would be happy to try the Diner. Have driven past it loads of times since it reopened. It was the "Eight Ball", or something like that, then shutdown for quite a while I think?

No problem with change of venue for me certainly, and yes it used to be the Eight Ball Diner where we finished the breakfast run one time.
Now a distant memory unfortunately.

Thanks guys!

There's another car meet there on the 28th I think they're called 3D or something like that. Its a club thats open to all and is more about the detailing than any particular marque, but there should be room for all of us

Hi Guys

You'd better drop us from the list, as it's way too far from NI :(
