Yule Solstice Day
Sunday 21st December @ 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
UPDATE
The Walk ( 3 miles)
It’s looking a lot like a walk over Box Hill. Day return to Box Hill and Westhumble rail station,
Getting there
Please take the train departing WEST CROYDON rail station at 10.35am, and change at Sutton (train arrives at 10:48).
The train from Sutton departs at 11.11am and arrives at Boxhill and Westhumble train station at 11.35am
Note; I will board the train at Sutton or Epsom.
You may come on the walk, even if not eating and maybe have a drink at the end.
The Meal (from about 2.30pm at the Stepping Stones Pub)
On the day we all pay our separate bills, and ensure the pub has included its service charge/included tip. Pay for any drinks at the bar.
IF YOU WANT TO TRY AND JOIN THIS MEAL STILL, I AM NOT PERSONALLY TAKING ON ANY MORE BOOKINGS, SO PLEASE CONTACT THE PUB YOURSELF AND MAKE YOUR MENU CHOICE WITH THEM AND PAY YOUR DEPOSIT TO THEM, should they require one. Mention my name as the booking you are trying to join. Find their contact details and the everyday Festive Menu on their website.
See you, PAUL.

The Meal (from about 2.30pm at the Stepping Stones Pub)
IMPORTANT: Please select your food choice by Friday 12 December along with any dietary needs/allergies.
This will be at the Stepping Stones pub, about 8 minutes walk along a road from the Box Hill & Westhumble rail stn – also a car park at the pub. It will be at 2.30 in the afternoon, with a walk beforehand of around 3 miles in the local area. You can attend just the walk, just the meal, or both, or neither! Maybe a good idea to have a change of footwear, and ways of hiding any mud on trousers (there are tricks you can use)…like last year.
How to select your food choice
Please go to their website and look at the Festive/Christmas everyday meal menu (not the ones for just Dec 25th, 26th or New Year). Note that the vegan gravy and vegan custard can be normal gravy or custard. I shall assume everyone is having normal gravy/custard UNLESS you say you want either in a vegan form.
The pub would like our menu choices by December 12th (Friday) please, and wish to be informed of any dietary needs/allergies.
If the booking goes over TEN, they will start to need a £10 deposit from each person. You can do all this through me, but if you do anything direct with the pub, please mention my name for the booking and tell me if you have booked direct, or paid a deposit to them.
I know it’s still over 3 weeks away (as I write) but they suggest booking as soon as possible, especially as Sundays is their busiest day.
More details of the walk to follow nearer the time.
(So far the deposit is not necessary.)
Paul.
