Seeing as The Boss is down this way next week....how about a mini-meet as the usual?

Forget now which is the usual...J&H or Leather Bottle.

Wednesday 10th or Thursday 11th good although Thursday better.

Not much notice, I know, but he's not back down for another 3-4 weeks.

Where's that Adrian??

:eek: :( Am away in Scotland until late Thursday night, sorry no can do

Yep can make this one.

Where's that Adrian??

Jekyl and Hyde is on the A33.

The Leather Bottle is in Mattingly and can be found here

Anyone else...Xav, Seb et al?

I know it short notice but "The Boss"...Colin....is in the area.

It's further up than I thought but I'll try and sweet talk SWMBO.

What's on the agenda?

Oooh, well, if da boss is gonna be dere, den i mite as well come over

Either day should be fine. Nothing planned at the moment

It's further up than I thought but I'll try and sweet talk SWMBO.

What's on the agenda?

Nothing specific..we just meet up...having something to eat/drink...chat. Normally quite a good crack.

Food is pretty good at either venue.

You got me if its the Wednesday, not sure about Thursday due to work commitments :( , let us know which day asap and I'll try and swing it.

When what who why where? if it's an evening and not too early we may be able to make it.....just give us a bit of advanced warning

Would love to have popped along, its not far from work but will be fighting traffic the whole way there, including those widening works on the M25.

I'll see how I am, but I can only do thursday.

Rob,

it's in the evening...we usually say around 6:30pm but most times people stay to around 9pm...if there's enough people.

Twist Nicks arm and see if he'll come along...he's been to most but that was when he was working in Guildford and venues were on way home.

Both venues are in Basingstoke so would be a trip down M4 and off J11 and onto A33.....if you leave at 6:30pm you should get to J&H in 45 mins..depending on Plod and how you drive.

Can peeps start a list and mark down your preferred day.

If we don't get enough...no worries...will reuse to organise for next month when Col is "Darwn Sarf" again.

I think you mean J11 / South Reading, Adrian

Last time I came back from Rob's, it took me just under 40 mins, but then again, I wasn't hanging around. And it's about the same time / distance.

May be able to get along to this ... will see what SWMBO thinks And yeah, don't worry I'll park my car round the corner out of site :P

Chris

I'll park my car round the corner out of site

May see you there then if I bring the Celica.

Its a possible

Aahh go on Manny, it's not too bad to get round there. I've done itr a few times without many problems

Have we actually decided on the venue yet?

I've been trying to give directions to a certain pigletesse and have been describing the LB as on the LHS of the A33 when in fact I meant J&H

Come on Adrian, make your mind up ;) :P

If I do come along, I will prefer thursday. Give me an excuse to book Friday off work.

You've got 2 hopes for the Leather bottle directions to Madame piglet. I've got sat nav and I still manage to get lost.

yeah but dad knows the way!! lol. i just sit in the car, get out when we are there, and then go and find the boss!!!(he knows why:P)

I don't mind where....LB as a bigger car park although it is a little more difficult to find than J&H.

J&H has a small car park and can be a bit of a b*tch to get into out off IF ther's lot sof traffic.

Personal preference is LB.....but I'm more than happy to go with majority.
