Our usual venue The Malt Shovel is now open so we can try having our meeting next Wednesday 26th May from 7PM.

I'm at the venue now checking out the format and am drinking inside. Basically we can meet inside which is set out for tables of 4 to 6 people up to around 40 people. You must wear a mask when you enter and sign in with Track and Track app or give your details at the front desk.

Once seated, masks can come off while you remain seated. It's table service only (we ordered drinks at the desk then sat down). After this you probably need to mask up and attract the barman's attention and he come to take your order then bring it to the table.

If the weather is decent, we can meet outside and order from there somehow.

That's about it, we can give it a go and see how it works.

Ok its official 1st South West meet is on Sunday 23rd May. We are meeting at Frome Will give details later. Chatter about driving to Weston Super Mare as a drive out and Chips!!!!!!!

First Meet!  Thinking of Sunday 23rd May.  Can you let me know if your interested and your location and will try and work out the best place to meet.

Anyone interested?  See picture attached

I would like to start our area meeting this month at The Gate Hangs Well, Syston. I have spoken with the venue and explained as we could have more than 6 people we would remain outdoors so the weather will play a part in the decision to attend. The Pub would love to have us their, and will fit in with us under the current situation. 
Looking forward to seeing members and visitors at 7.30pm 

Trying to organise monthly meets for Wiltshire, Hampshire & Dorset.

Have set up a Facebook page, anyone that is interested please message me.

After 3 very successful meetings in April I am looking to do the same for May using my usual format, i.e. a nice drive then a picnic lunch at some beauty spot.   The first one, subject to weather, is going to be a mid-week run to Foxton Locks (highly recommended, large car park and a nice walk along the locks).   This one will still be limited to 6 people and at the moment is fully booked with my regulars, although I am happy to have reserves if someone drops out.   The next one will be after the 17th, when up to 30 can attend so we won't be limited.  Haven't decided on the location yet, but if anyone is interested let me know.  I'm happy to make it a weekend if that would help anyone is still working and can't do mid-week.
