Portsmouth RR Day - Evening before meet

WW_VRS · 13-01-2007, 20:06

Pub below makes sense to me, as SWMBO & I would definitely drop our stuff off at the hotel first, then we'd have to grab a bite to eat perhaps in the pub - if you guys are not there any longer I'll give you a buzz

mdk1 · 13-01-2007, 23:48

What about breakfast? for those that can't make the evening but don't mind an early start.

**VRStu** · 13-01-2007, 23:56

It's work in progress Mike as I said above but parking is becoming an issue.

Leave early anyway Mike and we'll 'guide' you in

.

Stu is trying to find a decent stop for breakfast that will have enough parking for us all........not easy in Portsmouth!.

**VRStu** · 14-01-2007, 19:37

Here are the details -

Those staying over and those wishing to join us for a few sociable beverages on Friday the 19th we will be located at -

Travelodge Portsmouth Hotel
Kingston Crescent,
Garfield Road,
North End
Portsmouth
PO2 8AB

Google Map - Google Maps

Meet up in the attached bar (Sovereigns Bigsteak Pub/Restaurant) at 8pm. Once there and depending on mood, finances and SWMBO's we may decide to hit the town. If you think you may arrive later and would like me to keep you posted on movements feel free to PM me a mobile number.

The breakfast meet will be at Sainsbury's Farlington which opens at 7am. I would suggest a meeting time of around 8am to give us time to force a few bits of pig down our necks before moving up to JKM for a 9am start.

Sainsbury's is located just off the main A27/M27 and pretty close to JKM. They have 651 parking spaces so I don't think that should be an issue

Sainsbury's Farlington
Fitzherbert Road
Farlington
PORTSMOUTH
Hampshire
PO6 1RR

Google Map - Google Maps

For those that might want a hearty slurp of V-Power prior to the festivities there is a Shell service station almost adjacent to Sainsbury's and is one of the most reasonably priced in the area.

Shell Farlington
Eastern Road
Farlington
Portsmouth

There are cash points located at the Sainsbury's and the Shell station.

JKM is located at -

At the time of posting there is one family room available for the princely sum of £15 - PM makefish for info.

)

Ahhh, the Priority Club card

I reckon if I had a pound for every travelodge/HIexpress/Travel inn etc I'd stayed at I could afford leather seats

Im assuming Tiger Tiger is the favoured place to go, Ive never been there but do we need to prebook as there will be a few of us. It would be nice to go somewhere reosnably decent as this is the belated Christmas bash as well

**VRStu** · 18-01-2007, 17:32

Tiger Tiger - Welcome To Tiger Tiger - TigerTiger

Not been there myself either Stuart. The reason I added the leaflet is that it is in Gunwharf so if people head off down there it would make things cheaper.

Not sure if we'll want to go there - whats the general consensus?

cheezemonkhai · 18-01-2007, 17:58

Going to have to pull out from this and the RR as the insurance co want the hire car back and are now being a bunch of unmentionables

Harry_vRS · 18-01-2007, 18:05

Sorry hear you won't be attending cheezemonkhai, does that mean I can nick your place on the RR?

Not on the list but plans are afoot to get you on but can't promise anything just yet.

**VRStu** · 18-01-2007, 18:08

I would have thought that given the nature of the proposed purchase that ought to put him on the list.
