Get Together - A debrief Anyone?

[Ballast]

How long are you away for Smokie?

I was thinking of a provisional date of Friday 16th July?

At the same pub we used last time? Can't remember the name, probably to wrecked  

[Brad Zarse]

The Back of Beyond was the place we went to last time,  However there are a few other pubs in town with a good selection of Real Ale.  It depends what you want really - if you want that Fosters Pish  or Alcopops then we can go any where - if you want to try real beer then we can go to:

The Back of Beyond
The Hogshead
The Hobgoblin

There are more - but if I give too many places you'll only argue

Otherwise - we could do Wokingham - lots of Pubs there - or somewhere like Crowthorne/Sandhurst  - some pubs there and easier access for Robbo and those coming Via M3.

the only comment that i would make, could we have somewhere with easy parking?

[Steve Pyro]

Has a date been sorted as I can probably drag my ar*e across to Reading or Wokingham if it's a Friday or Saturday.

R u bringing the cobra?  Steve Brown - 'all round good egg and snappy dresser'.  Could have a car meet as well, might polish the spyder and have a run out.  Centre of reading is out as the parking is not very good.  Somthing just outside would be better.

If people are driving, why not 3 Mile Cross, just off the M4.( No idea of pubs there though )

For those in Basingstoke, i can pick you up ( dates permitting )

Mr Robbo an excellent idea the one pub there is the

The Swan Inn
Basingstoke Rd Three Mile Cross
Reading Berkshire
RG7 1AT

Tel: 0118 988 3674

The Swan is very handy - just off the A33 and J11 of the M4 but not sure of the size of the carpark? Does anybody know any more? if not could get Brad to check it out (on route to work), look forward to seeing you lot somewhere!!

It's a bit out of the way if you aren't driving!

However I'm away from Saturday for two weeks so that's academic for me...

[rcutler]

Not sure if I can make it???

There is some bloody race in france in two and a bit weeks!! I am supposed to race the bike this weekend but don't like the weather forcast and the week after I have a very long race!!!

Only 8 working days until the classic!!!

Reading is OK all the time, anywhere that needs driving I will either remain S**ber or blag a lift off someone.

[Brad Zarse]

The Black Boy is the other pub in Three Mile Cross - easy to find, big car park - good food apparently and some good beers too I think......

I dont really know Three Mile cross - i'll have a look on my way home tonight though.

The one that was suggested looks a bit grubby from where I drive past it.....

That's also the weekend of the Le Mans Clasisc so I think you're safe there!!

[jpchenet]

So when does everyone want to aim for??

Smokie is soon away for two weeks. That takes us to the Classic weekend which is no good, then we are at the end of July and into the main holiday period.
