Star Inn, Newbury - Friday 17th August

Makefish · 11-07-2007, 01:50

Following on from the successful last two meetings at the Star Inn near Newbury we are having another on Friday 17th August starting from 6:30pm onwards. The pub is a great location and easy to find and accomodates us quite easily although it did upset one of the regulars last time!. As before, arrangements will be made to secure the same area in the pub again but all being well the sun will be shining and we'll be eating alfresco

The Star is very easy to find approximately 5 miles from Newbury towards Basingstoke on the Newbury Road.

Hope that you will be able to join us, the last one was most enjoyable and look forward to seeing everyone again along with some new faces, all are welcome
