Pub meet in Oxon - 16th August 2009

Well it's been a hectic season so far and it isn't over yet, but it would be nice to have an SmS drive out this month and what better place than the pub Nick found us back in June. So, here are the details:



Not far from Banbury, this pub promises to be a charming venue and apparently has a huge car park! Have a look at their website here. The postcode for your SatNav is OX15 4JE.

Rich

Obviously! yup I'll head over to catch the convoy back

[Rich]

What a dedicated driver you are, Nick!


All we need to do now is decide what time we want to meet up. After all, the pub's website says it's open all day!


Rich

[Seb]

Afternoon Kids - I'm back from sunny spain now so count me in! Got my splitter fitted together with a few minor mods as well! Put me down on the list and I'll show you on sunday at the meet!

You could drive over to our convoy starting place and finish the journey with us!


And if Marcus makes an appearance on here, you could possibly meet somewhere in Beds and come across together!


Rich

[Captain Slow]

Once I find out what the missus has planned for Friday, I will let you know

[Lee121]

where's the meet point in Northampton and time etc????.......I will be coming!!!!

[Captain Slow]

Afraid I can't come guys...

[Rich]

We'll be meeting at the Sixfields cinema car park for about 10am and making our may over shortly after. Not sure of the route yet. Nick may lead us for a change!

Afraid I can't come guys...

That's a shame mate. Perhaps you could make an evening trip over to our 'local' meeting in Northants on 20th. Either that or keep an eye out for the next 'regional' meeting to make your debut with us!

Rich

[Captain Slow]

Can't see an issue with the 20th I think my name is already down for it in another thread

[Rich]

Just can't believe my luck, or lack of it.... Took the charger off the 'F this morning and went to start it. Still dead... It's quite a new battery and an expensive one too so don't know what's going on.

Then just to add insult to injury, the linkage to open the passenger door has failed, so Kate couldn't get in anyway!

Looks like I need to spend some quality time on it all. I've just got another 6 months' tax for it and I sure as hell want to use it...

So it looks like 'Smudge is coming out for a run again today!

Rich



Perhaps if I shout 'scrappage' at it, things may start working...

[Rich]

Well despite my bad start, we all had a great day with lovely weather, a nice country drive (except for the horsebox truck we got stuck behind whilst it was throwing out awful fumes) and rather a nice venue. The pond that obviously gives the pub it's name was a beautiful feature next to the car park behind the building.

And then a surprise visit by Stiff, although he wasn't actually there for the meeting and hadn't realised it was us there until I went up to him for a chat!

Thanks to all who attended.

Have a look HERE for a few pics on the website.
