That's above average, even for an A-series...

Currently looking doubtful for this thursday, many things to do.

SADMAG Rob? - Isnt that one of those top shelf smutty publications

?

Im hoping to get along - any suggestions where?

(Im loathe to suggest Ashurst again as weve been there the last couple of times - but it is direct and pretty central, decent parking and atmosphere - any other suggestions?)

I'll also bring along my smart Xmas pressies to show off too if I remember!

Regards, Mike.

hum that will teach me to read before I post.... although a quick edit and all is now well ;-)

we ought to try and find some new haunts... before the landlord of the pub in ashurst wises up to us ;-)

Crown Stirrup Pub so43 7de ?
Waterloo Arms so43 7ag ?

any others that folks can think of, perhaps we should simply crawl through a good pub guide and tick them off one by one over the weeks.

I think we've been to all the Good Beer Guide pubs in the immediate area, but there are more over Carlo's way and a couple more further south in the Forest.

The Turfcutter's in East Boldre is a really good pub, the Oak in Bank (Lyndhurst) is in the Guide too, and the Red Shoot at Linwood near Ringwood is in. A bit far for some though. Same for the Three Tuns in Bransgore.

I can't remember what Soton pubs are in the Guide - I'll dig it out this evening and have a look.

OK

someone need to make a suggestion for tonight....

how about the Empress at copythorne, and then we really must find some new pubs for the new year.

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2007 4:05 pm**

Empress it is.

Will have to get the guide out and plot some new places to try.

Anyone fancy giving me a lift?

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2007 4:25 pm**

I would do dan, but you are opposite direction and I've arranged to collect Colin on the way in.

hope one of those folks on that side of Southampton might be able to help?

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2007 4:26 pm**

I was half joking (half in that i would love someone too) I appreciate that I am way too far out for anyone to give me a lift!

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2007 5:33 pm**

See you all there then!

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2007 6:50 pm**

Thanks to the generosity of Pete (and Paul, but pete got there first!) i Shall be attending now!

Good Meeting tonight guys. Cos I am lazy how about the Cricketers next week? Possibly the Bold otherwise.

Looking forwards to being able to cycle to work thanks to Petes kind help!

Oh, Forgot to say, After next week I won't be able to attend for at least 4 weeks due to the 5pm till 10pm training I'm on for my new job

Cricketer's this week then? Fine by me, I can give the Trav a blast down the motorway to give the battery a boost.

Posted: **Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:21 pm**

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2007 2:21 am**

That was meant as a Joke! Oh well! If anyone wants to go somewhere different, please shout!!! I;m going to have to drive to Marchwood to pick up Katie anyway.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:00 am**

Well OK, I obviously don't mind not driving as far

Anybody mind going to Lyndhurst? More specifically, The Oak Inn at Bank near Lyndhurst. Linky
