It's breakfast time again! This month will be at MINI of Sterling, Va.
No RSVP is needed. Please come, get together with the new/old members.

Non-members and soon to be a member are welcome as well.

The finalists pictures from DCMM first and second photo contest will be displayed at the breakfast as well. Please join the presentation.

 

Hmm... British Pantry, good lunch,...Savoury tea.....Shepherd pies, .... twisty road...., Hmm... it's so tempting.

Must be a good hang-out place, after the breakfast meet.

 

I am going to be able to come to this one and finally get a chance to meet everyone. We should definitely do the British Pantry, I've been wanting to go there, and it just so happens that it is located a couple miles from my home.

 

Sorry, I'll have to miss this one.
Vacation quota is filled for that day. I'll have to be a mailman.

 

Can you transfer yourself to the Dulles office on the day?

 

Will it be an issue for a large group at the pantry ? My one time over and they were booked solid.

I should be able to make this one, as long as there's no snow, Wensley don't go in the snow !

It depends on the group size. For winter, it might, since we won't be able to sit outside.
I plan to make a reservation before hand. Last time we had about 15 people.

Please go to the Calendar to reserve the renowned Shepherd pies.

 

So, is there going to be a "run" from MoS to the British Pantry then? I'd like to take part in one, just to see what a more extensive run is like.

 

That's a good idea!!!

Now, we need some volunteer to do the routing and to lead the run.
Should be a fun, ~40 minutes run.

 

Somebody told me last week that British Pantry recently changed ownership; true? Make any difference?

 

Oh, hopefully they still use the old recipe.


Reminder: Please go to the Calendar to reserve the renowned Shepherd pies.

 

Any "run" that the club does from MoS to the British Pantry needs to be done at a calm, casual pace. Some of us let go of our better judgement last time we drove over to BP, and it was not a positive image for the club.

I don't want people to be discouraged from making the trip!

 

Good suggestion Edge.

 

also.....be accepting of new people (not that anybody here is not, but, just be aware of engaging new faces for more than two minutes). I had a long conversation with a member today and both he and his wife felt the same as my wife and I did after a DCMM event. The cliques take over and the n00bs are left wondering why they bothered to come out.

We discussed this very subject at the last board meeting. All of the board are going to try and do better about this, including myself.

Don't forget to wear your badges.

 

I can't find mine. :(

 

This will be my first event, so I am one of the noobs you speak of. I just want to meet everyone and have a good time, which I'm sure I will. Do I need to get a radio or something for the run? I thought I read that somewhere.

 

This will be a casual run (should we call this a run, or just driving together to the lunch place ). Not long, but fun. You'll be ok without the radio.
But it will help if you have it and will make the run more enjoyable for you.

For more info and discussion on the issue and the topic "What is a good run, in your perspective", please go to the thread.

 

Did you sell it in your FS marathon?

 

perhaps! if some skinny guy shows up pretending to be me, step on his toes and grab it back for me would ya?

 

We should be able to reissue it. Please contact Katie, she might be able to reissue a new one for you.

Jay and I will be there with badges and the list...so you all who are planning on coming can get them!

 

Would the "East side" (Maryland) members heading over to Sterling like to join up on the way over ? Always fun to run in a group !
