Anyone fancy meeting up for a beer and maybe a bite to eat in the South Oxfordshire/Henley area this coming Monday afternoon?

Post up if you are interested and I'll come up with a suitable venue.

Regards

Andy

I think that makes 5 interested parties for Easter Egg and Pie.

EdT - did you ever do that dry run of suitable pubs in the area?

Shall we say 12.30pm at a pub to be determined.

Entry requirement 8 cylinders. Although we will drop it to 4 in certain circumstances...

Shall we say the King William at Ipsden? Someone more technical than me is bound to post up a map....

12.30 meet initially sounded a bit early, but the King William will be busy on a Bank Holiday, so those wanting to eat had best turn up promptish...

(Guy - stop showing off. We'll get the last laugh when you beach it in the car park)

Edited as 'prompt' has 2 "p's"

Details of the King William are here:

www.readingrestaurants.com/king_william/

"The King Willian IV is a charming country pub in an area of outstanding natural beauty with spectacular views across the Chilterns. An ideal venue to escape the bustle of city life and relax and unwind. There are five Brakspear ales direct from the barrel and the freshly-prepared food is delicious and reasonably priced."

Large gravel carpark which is now reasonably Ultima friendly since they smoothed out the bump on the way in.

The initial map you get when yo click on the 'map' link isn't very helpful until you zoom out a bit.

Hi guys, looks like a nice select bunch, room for another?

Shouldn't have any trouble getting in if the carpark is Ultima friendly. See you all there.

Weather is looking promising. Nice down pour during the night to wash that nasty Snetterton paddock dust off the car (and for all you gardeners out there) - the sun is now out and the earlier haze is clearing.

Bloody Snetterton - everything I own is covered in a thin layer of brown dust - YUK!!!

Better get polishing I suppose....!

That's because Norfolk os brown.

Yup.. it's OFFICIAL the sun is shining. And in other news I appear to have a mild hangover. Good.

Oh if anyone wants a mini convoy a few of us are meeting in the Waitrose car park, Henley, at noon. leaving at 10 past or thereabouts
