We meet in the upstairs room at The Clockhouse, which sits on the river bank at Shardlow, on the old A6 just over the border from Leicestershire into Derbyshire.

Take the A50 from Junction 24 on the M1 and take the first turn-off signed for Long Eaton. At the roundabout, you should see a small sign for Shardlow, which is the 3rd exit.

Follow that road into Shardlow, it's only a couple of miles at most, and you'll find The Clockhouse on the left. There's plenty of parking.

We suggest that you get your drinks at the bar, then come on up.
