Berkshire pre-LM planning
« on: May 14, 2004, 11:55:41 pm »
Anyone in or around Berkshire want to join JP Chenet and myself for a planning session?

We'll decide date and venue once we have an idea of numbers. However, I think Wokingham is pretty central isn't it?  ;)

As though you need any planning!
Expect the only planning to be what your having next round. :)

I think you'ld be right Rhino, but it is better for them to plan the next round and the next rather than have them stumble into the next one by accident...

Wish I lived close enough, Smokie, I need to know how much more work I have to do on the belly before next month!

And of course any excuse for a few bevvies is good enough. ;)

Wokingham is good enough for me.  :-)  But parking is not brilliant there.
My personal preferance would be Reading.  Mind you most of my plans are in place.

Reading would be good for our crowd as this is where we usually meet up.

Can't do anything until the end of the month though so I guess I'm out and will just have to make up for it in June!!

Could make the Friday 28th, we usually go to O'Neils near the station and then onto curry house opposite the station.

JP I'll catch up with you when I'm back to see what is happening and if I have missed, if I have maybe we can catch up in Bstoke??

28th sounds good for me too. I'll hopefully have the first batch of polos ready for then too so we can distribute them on the night.

OK 28th it is, somewhere in Reading (not Wokingham?). Someone suggest a venue - I don't know the pubs much in Reading.

Can I suggest The Back of Beyond on Kings Road Reading?  It's Wheatherspoons pub no music and pleanty of space.    You can park on Kings Road normaly  though I don't normaly go there on a Friday even so you can always park in the Queens St Car Park and walk.   Or you can run the risk in the Home Base Car Park.   Here is a handy map  http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=472122&y=173361&z=0&sv=RG1+3BY&st=2&tl=Postcode+RG1+3BY&pc=RG1+3BY&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf
