Title: Southern Shandy Drinkers Hampshire New Venue?....
Post by: RedRobin on June 29, 2010, 08:59:28 pm
.
Having now had two successful meets at the Jekyll & Hyde, would we like to find another local venue simply for a change and because there is apparently lots of choice in that area?

We're talking July and it's coming up fast. Any ideas where else is worth considering? Or would Jekyll & Hyde be preferred?

Of course you're invited, buddy! Even if you can't spell and don't speak The Queen's English :laugh:

I reckon most of us won't mind if J&H again or elsewhere. I'm just responding to some of you very locals who know the area and mentioned other alternatives.

Hedge? Neo? Chris? Dom? Thor?.. Any ideas? I'm happy to organise it wherever it is. If we go to the J&K again I'll ask for outside tables subject to weather on the night.

Let me have a think over other venues and post back with some ideas, though I'm not unhappy with where we have it.

Robin,

Been having a think and this is also a good pub in the area with a decent size car park, also provides a more interesting drive from the M3  :driver:, just watch out for the hairpin bend  :wink:

We used to meet at the Leather Bottle with Briskoda and changed to the Jeckyll & Hyde when it turned into a Blubeckers.
Subsequent Briskoda meets ended up moving to The Star @ Kingsclere. http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thestarinnkingsclere/

You could do the Shoulder of Mutton for a change.

Ok.. all 3 choices so far are within same easy reach for myself (who probably travels the furthest).

I can't tell which would be best as they all look pretty similar.

Do they each have a big enough car park and are they each able to sling tables together so we can all be together?
Title: Re: Southern Shandy Drinkers Hampshire New Venue?....

Blubeckers - restaurant with reasonable car park
Shoulder of Mutton - restaurant with smallish car park
The Star - pub/restaurant with big car park.

I am going to a R32OC meet at The Ely, Yateley a week on Sunday so will be able to report back about that one afterwards but it has an ample car park and is just off M3, Junc 4a.

Good info, Ian :drinking:

M3/J4a getting too far for me.

The Star or Jekyll&Hyde seem the best choices - How shall we decide?

Methinks it's time to make some decisions if this meet is to happen in July and take advantage of light summer evenings.

So, it's either The Star or Jekyll & Hyde, and Thursday 22nd.

Trouble is that wherever we hold it it's gonna be a good meet as usual and we're all happy with either venue. Shall we try The Star and then be better able to choose the next venue? Or shall I toss a coin?

That pub the star is abit off the track, not easy for the guys coming from a northern direction.

....Ok, let's go for Jekyll & Hyde then.

22nd and hopefully Hedge can make it although not his preferred date.

I'll start a new thread soon for the list and confirming details.
