All,

Can I suggest the Royal Oak in Bagington or the Bulls Head at Meriden. Both more agreeable than any Coventry pub. The Bulls Head has the added attraction of Shirleys Porsche over the road. I'd suggest that one of those pubs may be a nicer place to meet. Neither is more than 10 mins from the city centre and both have big car parks etc etc.

Cheers
Matt

The bull's head is a good meeting place,as WM,TVR,CC meet there,and i think it is a very big car park being able to cope with our need's,the food is good,the drink is good(well the pop is for me but my dad say's the beer is better than that pi55y crap you get in town...)

The Griff Inn has regular car meets so very accomodating. Food is pretty good too.
I'd be up for it depending upon date.

The bull's head is a good meeting place...the food is good

Last time I ate there I got two small slices of roast beef and 3 small potatoes and they called that Sunday lunch. Bear at Berkswell is a lot better.

Agreed on non-Industrial estate location...the Nuneaton place was the choice of the SXOC! Griff is a good alternative though.

Ditto. Probably passed each other on the A46 without knowing it!

Well i've been away for a while - i blew the headgasket on my car at the recent bruntingthorpe charity trackday (ooooh water injection!). I've also moved house, finished my masters degree and been working a few 60hr weeks since the students came back! So its been a busy time + i have no net access at home yet (damn sky braodband)

As such my car will not likley be back on the road until the end of Nov so depending on my situation i'd still be interested in a cov area meet - will be watching the thread with interest.
