North Weald Pre-Meet - Wednesday 28th May

Makefish · 27-03-2008, 11:47

Briskoda is having a car handling day on the 29th of May so as a prelude to that we are having a gathering of like minded enthusiasts on the Wednesday night (Venue TBC).

More details will be added here very shortly as to the location but it will be in North Weald (which is very close to the M25 and M11 interchange). Map Link

You dont have to be coming on the handling day to come along to this so all are welcome

For those wishing to stay over, particularly those on the handling day, the majority are staying at the nearby Travel Lodge (Harlow North Weald).

Edit (22/05/08): Venue has been decided on an Italian Restaurant in Epping but meeting in the pub opposite from 7:00pm onwards

Unico Ltd
261 High Street
Epping
Essex
CM16 4BW

01992 577776

The is a pub right opposite.

I'm booked in at the hotel too, thought why the hell not, and perhaps makes it easy to get a cab from the venue to the hotel should beer be consumed

Great stuff. Not sure what time I'll actually make it down on the Wed night though. Hopefully around 9pm

Tom, like the idea of getting a taxi and consuming alcohol

Tom_vRS · 27-03-2008, 13:00

Well I'm sure the venue wont be far from the hotel regardless.

Beretta · 27-03-2008, 13:05

Last time we used The Talbot at North Weald for the night before meet/meal/drink, if you do so again then the Travel Lodge is only a couple of hundred yards stagger away from the pub.
There are many other pubs that do food etc in the area.

Wardy · 27-03-2008, 13:25

Sounds great if its within walking distance Gerry

Personally I'd prefer the 'best' pub rather than the most convenient ie. good food, ambience etc. Any suggestions Gerry?

Tom_vRS · 27-03-2008, 15:37

I'll second that Steve. Take it your not adverse to sharing a taxi to the hotel?

roo · 27-03-2008, 19:07

there is the one in North Weald, I think it is the kings head. It's an old pub and the food is basically the same as what you find at the pub used for the Newbury meet

There are loads of places in the area to go to

Take the missus out to a quiet Essex (by way of a change) country pub for a meal in the evening. By some small world coincidence, you may run into the pre handling day meet. Surely she cannot blame you if it is merely coincidence

An excellent plan Holmes but a flawed one, she reads my every post on here!

Any other ideas..................................perhaps I can persuade her with my cool charm and sofisticated sweet talking?

Steve, face it you're probably f**ked!

If you are going to have to bail, and it would be for good reason I admit, then I think Stuart_J was looking at a spot, but otherwise maybe you could as suggested find a nice country pub or something?
