Newbury/Basingstoke Meet Feeler

Makefish · 02-03-2008, 12:10

OK, this is not going to be here for too long as I'd like to get the next one organised asap. Choice of dates are Friday 4th or 11th April at either our regular haunt the Star Inn Newbury or our old venue The Leather Bottle Mattingly.

I've added a poll which you can vote for as many options as you like ie. if you can make all dates and dont mind which venue then check ALL the boxes

Poll open for a period of 10 days from 2nd March.

is the leatherbottle the one on the A33?

**tfboy** · 02-03-2008, 13:33

Steve, leather bottle is or rather was the pub at Mattingley. Last time we had a meet there, it was closed and we moved to the Jekkyl & Hyde which is on the A33.

The Mattingley pub is now a Bluebeckers. I've eaten at other bluebeckers before and it's ok.

Which location do you want? J&H @ A33 or Bluebeckers at Mattingley?

Makefish · 02-03-2008, 13:53

I was refering to Bluebeckers but I thought I'd call it the Leather Bottle for now for those that remember it as such

Johnwg · 02-03-2008, 13:54

Haven't voted for a venue as I don't know either, or where they are located in relation to driving over from Devizes....

The Star is a lot closer to Devizes

apd007 · 02-03-2008, 14:51

Can only realistically make the 4th of April. Only know the Star so can't really comment on venue.

Edit :- Going on distance alone it's a tough call, the Mattingly pub is only about 20 or 30 miles further to drive from Brum.

Suz911 · 02-03-2008, 14:55

I would be up for for either. I missed the last one and have not been to a meet yet!

The more the better really and you would be very welcome

Suz911 · 02-03-2008, 15:02

Brilliant, I will look forweard and definitely be there.

Quick question though, does anyone do the action days at coomb?

RandomRich · 02-03-2008, 15:45

I wonna come but I have angered a few big people within this car club!!

But I shall be at Trax

smstext · 02-03-2008, 16:21

4th at the star would suit me (and swmbo) as the daughter is at her mums so i wont have a bored child with me.

The Star on the 11th it is then for me

Cheers Rob

If you express your preference in a post but dont vote in the poll then it will NOT be counted when a decision is made!

smstext · 02-03-2008, 17:05

im special i did both :p

Tom_vRS · 02-03-2008, 17:23

I've voted for leatherbottle as its about 15 mins closer, and 12 miles closer, but will still go to the Star if its there

Mater · 02-03-2008, 18:40

Ive put either date but its work dependant which i wont know till nearer the time

Also put down for Star just because its closer to Catterick (253 miles vs 265 miles

)

But will go to either place if work permits

Carl

Emily-Elizabeth · 02-03-2008, 18:44

I can make either dates....

The 4th of April clashes with Maidstone meet and the 11th is when I am on nights.

**VRStu** · 02-03-2008, 20:03

11th is a definate no go for me but either venue is ok.

I do like the reception we've been getting at the Star and I do feel he values our business. Perhaps time to negotiate a Brisky Discount??

Oh well............ sh_t happens

Hedge · 02-03-2008, 21:40

I think that Leather Bottle/Blubeckers is too much of an eating establishment for a meet. The Star is pretty good and the staff are friendly and I can get to the LB in 10 mins.

Makefish · 02-03-2008, 22:03

Looks like the Star Inn is the favoured venue but the date seems divided atm

Tom_vRS · 02-03-2008, 22:15

I did like the Star for sure.

Only a couple of more days before this poll closes, the venue looks nailed on but the date is very close so get voting or forever hold your peace!
