Dear Darling
I am now confused.com !!
We're off to Glastonbury for the weekend so will be out of touch till Sunday night. (the 7" Android tablet gave up the ghost and has gone back to Amazon for a refund. B---y technology!!)
Can you let me know WHERE we will be on Tuesday so that (when I get my lazy a--e into gear and turn up) I come to the right place!!!
I like the Quote. My favourite quote about Negotiation is Teddy Roosevelt's - "speak softly and carry a big stick". Works for me!!
Where ever we are, I'll be on the cadge for a backline. Hope thats OK.
Lets hope it stays dry this weekend - had enough of that rain yesterday!! Oh Boy!!
cheers
ian

Glastonbury and dry, two mutually exclusive words methinks....
As the Gt Wyrely Committee won't be meeting for 3 weeks why don't we go elsewhere for 3 weeks and
let them see what they will be missing if we are not there?

If you dozy lot of buggers don't tell me anything by Sunday night then we'll be going nowhere on Tuesday.

It's nice that so many people take an interest. ( Or is it morbid curiosity? ).
Considering the vast majority of people here don't know where Great Wyrley is. ( And them that do can't bloody well spell it ).
I wonder if anyone considers the background work that goes into negotiations such as Roger and myself took on recently.
Does anyone realise that over a period of twenty five years there is a potential saving of £ 2345.00?
Does anyone realise that this, ( plus the odd couple of hundred quid ), is the going rate for a Left Handed Custom Shop Stratocaster.
Does anyone give a toss?
We are very fortunate. ( I just forget why, it'll come back to me ).
You see, diplomacy is most important in these cases. Whilst standing talking to one of the locals a thought flashed through my head.
But enough of that.
I stood there and was tempted to ask, "Would you like some underarm deodorant for your Birthday?" However, until negotiations
are concluded I thought I'd let discretion be the better part of valour.
Whatever the outcome of our meetings with said committee, it never hurts to say to someone, "Don't take me for granted".
So tell that somone that you love, just what you're thinking of.
Oh sorry, that's what I'm listening to in the background.
Anyway, possibly early next week we'll know the feeling of the committee toward our proposal and will, of course, cast it to the public domain.
After all, you wouldn't have read this far if you weren't interested, would you?
Cheers, Alan, ( Joint negotiator, dog lover and all round good egg, for a fairer deal for Hankies everywhere ).

Well put Al !
It's the Saddlers still I believe for next visit.. Ecca is in agreement when I phoned to discuss, but we might give the Pretty Bricks a try and see visit later. We cannot return to Gt Wyrley till negotiations conclude and committee make a decision. The Saddlers might prove to be a temporary move whilst the negotiation goes on. After that we could be returning back to Wyrley or finding another venue in time. Very much a time has come to sort this £30 fee bit out as some of us have not been too happy with it's introduction and occassional difficulties funding it.
The Bradford Arms on the A5 towards Telford was suggested by Mike Downes, however it may be a bit out of town for some of us although it would be free and it is a nice pub. I think Amanda alone would have too far to go on that one... but it shows there are places out there if e keep looking.
So it is the Saddlers Tuesday folks !
