Staffordshire Mini Meet

[Owd Twat]

Never can decide whether North Staffs is Midlands or North West but here goes anyway. A recent Noble convert expressed an interest in meeting other owners (beats me why, too!) We're meeting at The Wayfarer Pub on the A34 in Stone. Simon and Stu are coming from Uttoxeter, with a Noble and TVR T350. I'm coming from Loggerheads way. Anyone else interested in joining us about 2000hr on wednesday 21st February? I've called in once before when a few TVR owners used to meet on a wednesday but not seen anything recently on my travels. There never seems to be much PH activity in Staffordshire so all are cordially invited to join our merry threesome.
Cheers, Bernie

Hi Paul, no probs - love to see you there. It's not the first pub (George and Dragon) but the second which is on the right. Used to be called the Walton Tavern for a couple of years. Grew up in 'Castle, where are you? Bernie

[Owd Twat]

Count me in. Will be there @ 2000 hrs.

For an inaugural meeting it was great. How many times have you heard all the promises and no begger turns up? Do we want to meet same place or perhaps try The Gingerbread Man, Mkt Drayton in a couple of months? Should be lighter at night and could attract a few Shropshire PH'ers. Open to suggestions and ideas.

Cheers, Bernie.

I reckon we should leave it 'til the clocks go forward at the end of the month - that'll give us a bit more light in the evening. I'm away first week in April but wednesday 11th April would be OK. Do we still fancy The Gingerbread Man at Mkt. Drayton? There may be some more Shrewsbury / Whitchurch PHers interested if we go there. Do we stop in Staffordshire? Fire away with your views. Cheers, Bernie.

Hi Prof and Matt,

Mkt Drayton is 45 mins from Stafford - includes Eccleshall to Loggerheads, supposed to be Clarksons fave bit of road - I can vouch for the interest factor. Other suggestions; How about (1)'Swan With Two Necks' on junction of A53 and A51 at Blackbrook? (2)'Shire Horse' off J14 at Stafford? I'll go with the flow but should we firm up on 11th April?

Cheers, Bernie

[Owd Twat]

I think we need to firm up on our next location and date. Any great objections to Swan With Two Necks at Blackbrook (junction of A51 and A53) on 11th April? It's half hour max from Stafford and will suit Potteries and Whitchurch PHers who came last time. Can the Stafford/Uttoxeter end give some thought where we can go after that? Bramshall Inn or is car park too small? Saracens Head at Weston?

Let us know what you think.

Cheers, Bernie.

Hi Matt, Barley Mow is a most excellent suggestion. When is the refurb due to be finished? Called in on the last day it was open, 'bout 2 months ago and it was still shut 2 sundays ago. Do you live in that area?

Cheers, Bernie

[Owd Twat]

Hi Prof,

Nip down to Milford and find out when it reopens - can start booking our 3rd meet then! Are you a real professor or is that a title conferred on you by school kids or other admirers?

Cheers, Bernie

[Owd Twat]

Going away tomorrow so just checking we're still on for The Swan With Two Necks, Blackbrook, junction of A51 and A53, 2000hrs, 11th April. Au Revoir mes amis.

[Owd Twat]

Right! Back from la belle France. Just a quick reminder for this wednesday. Looks like we may be able to sit out! Hope to see you all again. Will try and post to invite any Shropshire PH'ers in the area.

Cheers,

Bernie
