"THIRTY-ONES"@ The Railway Inn Billingshurst

We received a casual invite to this again this year but not sure which day it is being held.

Anyone able to confirm ?

Would liked to have come down to this for a day out with the pushbike and train as I thoroughly enjoyed it last year.

Unfortunately the calendar is filling up fast, so with no news, it's unlikely I will be able to make it.

Sav.

Hi Sav,

Yes we enjoyed your company last year.

When I spoke to the landlady (Stella) last night even she did not know the planned date.
She promised that someone will give me a ring as soon as this is known.

Hi all,
Unfortunately the 31s did not happen this year due to various reasons.
Sniffer and Skippy out of the country.
I had an almost terminal case of man flue and was only saved by Lemsips, Fishermans Friends and Scotch.
This is a great cure as you really don't care after your first three doses of all of the above.

We are sorry to have let everybody down but promise normal service will be resumed next Christmas.

No probs Clacky, we shall just have to look forward to the next one.......time moves on quickly when you get to my age, already Xmas 2014 is only 50 weeks away !

Glad you're back from the brink after suffering the dreaded seasonal Man Flu.........Tommo's usual bout was kept at bay this year with the help of Margo's special Pickled Onions. (Apologies to Billy Hammond for this blatant act of plagiarism !)

Maybe Christmas in July for some off-season fun?

HINT ! HINT !
This used to be such fun on the Friday after Christmas..........

Margo and I would be up for it were it to be run again and were we to get an invite.

Hi Clive,
First I've heard of it.

That's very clever, Clacky, misquoting me with a post of 4 years ago !!!

I was only fishing: Do they even still have a table in the Railway ?

Ah I may be a little slow but I always get there in the end.........

Is it worth me dropping a not-so-subtle hint again ?

Fond memories of arriving with pockets weighed down with change and leaving with them a lot lighter !

Excellent day and right by the station for me, here's hoping!

Well we can but keep hinting, but the Railway team quit having just won the League and their players dispersed.

It's still a good pub to meet up at though. I think it still has a table.

Would you believe that your foray to those parts was as long ago as 2012 ?

Here are the threads for the 2011 and 2012 competitions, great fun as you say:
