would it be advisable to prebook dinner on the sarurday
night  or just turn up ?

[Testament]

Sorry I'm not going to make it. It would have been nice to but I', going to the goodwood revival the weekend before and between the logistics of getting over and having to take more time off work means it's not possible.

Greetings from North Conway in the White Mountains (Maine). 

I think Bren is right with the 18 rooms (could be 19) but this does not take into account people living locally who will be attending but not staying in the hotel. I've advised the hotel to plan for 10 extra people to be dining with us (over and above the number of people booked to stay). I don't have exact total numbers and am awaiting texts from people making last minute decisions, but I would not be surprised if the event was not as well attended as Leenane last year, if not better. 

Great to hear that we have an attendee from Wales but shame it's not the silver Racing!! 

Now all we need is the weather!

I've been to North Conway too Kev (which I think you'll find is actually in New Hampshire) ...watch out for the bears around the dumpsters! And I'm being serious!! Beautiful place - lots of enclosed bridges and wonderful mountains.

Not that far from Mount Washington there if I remember correctly. Didn't get to see it myself as the pass was still closed due the snow (I went in March (a few years ago now) and there was still lots of snow and ice about). There was a 124 Spider 'grave yard' at Don Black's place not far from Nth Conway on the main highway north to the Canadian border (I think ). That was the only place I saw any Italian car when I was there.

There's an old diesel Railroad Engine at the top of the town isn't there? I'm sure I took a few pics of that.

Enjoy the rest of your trip.
