holbeck Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm out on this one, starting a shift at work 2pm. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Where do you work Holbeck? No chsnce you could be there at lunchtime for a bit or something? As for pubs, there are pubs in Moretonhampstead, ie walking distance from the museum, so we only need to park once! HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Should be OK for Saturday lunchtime at least. Look forward to hearing about a suitable pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sounds good to me, if we have the pub as meeting point and a suitable time for everyone then we're sorted. We doing a pub lunch? If so I guess meeting around midday makes sense. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holbeck Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I work in Exeter, so I could make a flying visit at lunchtime I'll just have to keep an eye on what you guys arrange. (Visit to the museum before lunch would be good for me also). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I suggest that we meet at the museum, mid morning, and then go to a pub. There are pubs within walking distance, because the museum is in the town, but I don't know them. So we could either wander along to one and try our luck, or have a shite convoy back to my village, about ten minutes away, in order to eat at my local, which I can vouch for.

phil_lihp Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Works for me. Mid morning = 10:00am-ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 10am is good for me. Pub-wise, how about a choice between: 1. The Union Inn, Moretonhampstead. Looks ok and cheap food, probably fine but I can't vouch for it. A short walk from the museum. 2. The Drewe Arms, Drewsteignton. Really good pub, it's my local. Slightly dearer that the Union Inn for grub but it's always good. This one is a short (5-10 min) distance away from the museum by shite convoy. Maybe the choice might depend on which is deemed more appealing: the convenience of being able to park only once, in a car park right by the museum, or the fun of a drive along country lanes between museum and boozer.

twosmoke300 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeh let's have a known pub and a little convoy. Who is towing who ? HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If the Drewe Arms is people's preference then I'll let them know we're coming so they keep some space for us. Thus, it would be useful if people post their intention to come so that we can have an idea of numbers. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Livered Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for pointing it out, no it was the wrong one. Actually I can't find a website for the Drewe Arms in Drewsteignton, though there are reviews and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm in two minds - had planned and would love to make this meet, but the weather looks like it's going to be shite and Liverpool v Arsenal is on live! I may have some family commitments. As a few cannot make it now might it be an idea to re-schedule this for when it's going to be better weather-wise, maybe later this month or March? It's got to stop raining one frigging day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's true that there are a lot of noes... would rescheduling for the spring bring more people or would we simply repeat the conversation if we tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
