What's the betting they'll try and charge the Pub Club
That was my point. Seems like excessive greed to be honest- they make a killing on Pub Club days, without adding a further £200 to it...Andy
If the wisper is correct it seems like little gain, no brain!!.
Maybe I should charge them £200 to take the Pub Club there and put it in the charity pot ;-)
But also on the other hand I have been doing my homework and the Empress of Blandings is also
has new landlords who are very happy and willing to accomadate us, and there is even noise being
made about the brewery having the carpark done properly too ;-)
See you all soon

Empress probably too far for me on a regular basis, West Meon 10 mins short route or 20mins the twisty way.
I know the staffing issues were a problem, and the main reason they moved on to another pub, as they didn't have any real full time staff for a while. The new landlord has brought 5 staff and retained 2, so should be better staffed now.
Seven Stars may struggle with numbers,as the car park is usually half full mid week, and besides I could walk quicker than drive there, I guess what numbers you lose from here would be gained from down there, but would be a shame if our little convoy doesn't have anywhere local to head out to.

Can't please everyone. The Meon was an 88 mile round trip for me, mostly motorway too. I made most evenings though as it is worth the drive out. Isn't that the point, go for a nice long drive after work then dinner and a catch up with friends. The south coast is a large region, you're never going to please everyone when you have people from Poole and others from Chichester all hoping to attend the same meet!
