Now then people,
Me and Mase are intending on meeting up for lunch at a pub at somepoint during early march. Nothing special but we thought it would be cool if to see if anyone else would like to join us.
It will be in a country pub near basingstoke, any suggestions would be ace as i'm not from round that way.

Will confirm times and date, location etc nearer the time but will be at the weekend.

Cheers
Chris

I'd be up for coming along

Yeah me too

Cool cool, you guys know any good pubs to eat at, i'll be venturing into your part of the world i guess, i'm easy with where we go as long as it has good food and a carpark Mase is near Guildford and i'm near bath so thinking somewhere in middle.

I should be up for coming too

Sorry Chris, only just realised I had a PM.

The wife doesn't normally let me meet people off the internet (not since she found out!) but I might able to slip away for lunch. Halfway between Bath and Guildford, are we looking at somewhere near Newbury or Hungerford?

Count me in

cool, still need to work out where we are going for this..

Well we been chatting and there is a slight change of plan. Idea is to go somewhere in wiltshire for lunch (perhaps salisbury plain pub, nice roads there, but still open to suggestions) and then anyone who wants can come back to my house for drinks and make a night of it. Maybe get a few crates in or go to pub. I can put a few people up, not guaranteeing ultimate comfort though. Got a long sofa, short sofa, and double sofa bed that could be put out, and hard floor.
Just seems like a shame to all meet up for lunch in a pub and not have a drink or anything. People up for that?
Oh and we need date suggestions for this, after the 20th of this month for me as thats when i get paid but i'm easy.

Jamie, quite a few pubs in Lacock, could go to one of those, wouldn't even need to move oyur car

Still sounds cool to me

Although I would prefer it to be early next month rather than end of this month because the Bravo wont be on the road until 1st March

I think i can make my wages stretch that far

I'll throw a date out there, Fri 2nd or Sat 3rd March..? Little trip for your new beastie

My birthday is on the 2nd, so wouldn't be free that weekend...

Im in too hehe.

I'm in to. Sounds good. Its good to hear something going on in the south. More or less on my door step to,Just the job

i could well be up for this, have a blast down the westcountry and accross the plain Patch and i do love that area (im originally from somerset so over that way a reasonable bit anyways)

begining of next month sounds good to me aswell, need some money, and my insurance payout will hopefully be here soonish and i can get her running sweet and supprise a few unsuspecting people in my lil engined big car

Well looks like we a have a few people coming along.. I'll look for a pub with suitable car-park..

right how about this? http://www.three-magpies.co.uk/index.html

map: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=SN12+6RN&spn=0.005,0.02&hl=en

Got car-park and reasonable prices..

What are the chances of you putting it off until the 10th March or is that too late?

I dont mean to mess people about but as Mark said he cant make the 3rd and I'm going to be pushed to make it because I have so much to do that weekend (but will try if it definately goes ahead for the 3rd)

I think we can possibly do that, i will just have to put some money away for it.. Everyone else ok with the 10th? thats a saturday.

I drive past that pub i mentioned on way home from work and the large carpark it boasts about isn't so large at all, if it had a few cars in it we would have room to park cars, i'll look for another.

10th is now a no no, Mase has a birthday to goto. Christ, can't believe how hard it is to find a date when people are free.
Mase is awaiting to find out dates of footie match he's in, he finds out saturday, will update when he finds out..

On pub front, i'm thinking we should possibly go to Lacock, (@Jamie, where you park your car) as its easy to get to, has carpark, sells food, is near my house, and is a picturesque village. Bit boring for Jamie i guess but hey, its only Jamie
