So far we have 13 coming along all camping, The pub is booked definate, breakfasts will be available sat and sun,
I am not interested in another Brewery tour but if anyone is let me know - I think they will need a few to justify it. It may also clash with the ride out.

I'd be interested to know what happened to the winter  we sampled there last time that was for M&S (the one with sweet mince etc). I searched high and low for it in M&Ss and it could not be found anywhere.
Jake, Bev and I would naturally be interested but I'm trying to arrange a trip to Norway, and sods law and all that....can check nearer the time even if only as day trippers.
Happy New Year all ;-)

Hi Fritz - We got a bottle in amongst some other bottles as Crimbo prezzie - although we were also interested in it after our tasting trip, we couldn't even drink the bottle between us - bit too many 'hints of fruit and spice' for me. We were disappointed because we have really enjoyed all other Cropton brews but this one was just not to our taste. Not that this helps you find a bottle  but just to let you know it did hit the shelves.
Cheers for the book. Hope to see you both at Cropton.

Dazco your a puff - there thats got it out the way Eh!, you know the pub has a cottage for rent if its any good to you, keep it quiet though cos its not unknown for certain people here to slip quietly into the warmth when your looking the other way and find a spot on the floor or a setee. If you look around there the easy ones to spot after a few  s - they usually wear pink shirts and very tight hot pants. (the bloke one do anyway.)
Me Ill be the one in the mini skirt and fishnets with red high heels  !!!
(ignore the beard though)
Tchus Jake.

Oh well - we're in Scottie land from that w/e so probably won't get unfortunately. Hope your back improves Jake.
Keep taking the medicine ;-)

It would appear that my injury is worse than I was hoping and will need extensive ongoing treatment and surgery is not ruled out, and I may end up out of circulation for quite some time. As a result I wont be able to make the do at Cropton. I would ask if someone else can take up the mantle of organiser and do any of the contact with the pub on my behalf. If someone can I will give the contact details for the pub and the person to speak to. Still on the positive side it leaves an extra space for camping. If bye some minor miracle i get better and the doctors have it wrong then I will try still to get down - but don't hold your breath on that one. 
On a worse note that is my trip to Syria ruled out this year as well as the end of my days working with stone. Unemployed now.
