FAO: South Birmingham Meet Group
hi guys,
as discussed at the last meet its tradition that for the December Meet we arrange a Meet to include dinner. I post now for your idea's on where
you would like to go? I believe last year was a carvery, so if you want to go for something different through your suggestions up here.
Chinese? Indian? Tappanyaki (Japanese)? Carvery? Italian? Random Pub where you can pick what you want?
let me know, will go with general concensus, i am hoping to arrange it for the 2nd week in December , possibly 11th or 12th. decision will be made at
the end of November so you will have just under two weeks to book the evening off, gf's, wives & partners all welcome!
All the Best
Alex
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

I quite fancy an italian...

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

My vote would be for a posh pub! That way, they tend to cover all tastes, and there are plenty around....

What about the pub near the bottom of the A45 at warwicky type area? We've been to it before. Its by a lock / locks & seems quite nice.
Is that posh enough or do you want posher?
Personally i'd like roast turkey ..... but i'm sure others will be more sensible.
Not sure if i can make the dates you've mentioned - mum's in hospital on the 10th.

R u on about the Waterman between Warwick and Hatton?
Waterman Linky
or
The Saxon Mill Linky
Both Pubs are good for food, saxon mill is the more expensive out of the two but both are very good
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

I was referring to the Waterman - but the Saxon is good.
If you want to visit her, she'll be in Wrightington Hospital (Nr Wigan). Its approximately a 120 mile blat up the motorway from Coventry. Its
probably a lot further via nicer roasds.
I can sort out parking for 5 or 6 cars - although two will need good hand brakes (unless you persuade my dad to park on the driveway enterence and
then we can get 6 or 7 cars with two in a garage).
Sleeping will be mostly via camping unless you ask nicely and i let you sleep on a floor in the parents house.
So ...... Wigan or ?????
