Living in Corsham

[Box Rocks]

I'm only down the road from Corsham. Been here for 7 years now. Its a great place.
I can feel a meet coming on.

Bought my first TVR in Box. Certainly up for a beverage at some point

Box hill. My talbot horizon used to smoke up that hill at 30mph at best. Kind of go a bit quicker now

Hi mate, all good thanks. Business is better now that everyone seems to be getting married again! Hows things with you?

[miniman]

Yeah good thanks, busy start to the year which is good. Lots of people finding the same, seems to be much more cash sloshing around than last year.

Are we going to get a meet sorted then?
What are your votes for the following venue (once we have that we can sort dates)

The Methuen Arms (Corsham)
The Hare and Hounds (Corsham)
The Northey Arms (Box-this one has the largest car park but you need to pick your time and day as it can get very busy).

Votes please gents

[JontyR]

The Methuen Arms (Corsham) gets my vote

Make it May 16th or 17th and you can add me to the list, I'm back in the UK for a few days then.

Aye, me too, nice place.

Two Pigs is a decent boozer too.

I'd be up for any of the suggested places. All good shouts to be fair.

Also a resident! Great place, hare and hounds would get my vote but I could stroll to the Meth if pushed.

For any one who doesn't know.... (and yes I know about the 'issues' between PH and 28dl however this is about the pictures)

Well worth getting a guide

[AndyCowman]

Box cathedral! I really want to visit that. Believe you can get a guide from the quarrymans arms. Another good pub were could frequent!?

Unfortunately not any more.... Mark, the guy who was the guide and lived next door to the pub sadly passed away a fair time ago now so the tours stopped.
The pub does still have all the maps for sale though and could probably put you in touch with one of the Bristol caving clubs who do still frequent the caverns on a regular basis.

The shot above of the Cathedral is much better than mine so here's one of the Robot God from the last time I went down.

Good afternoon I am moving to Neston just outside Corsham shortly from Bristol, I can't wait to leave the city behind and all the damn traffic and parking issues. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced reliable Garage for general servicing etc and also tyres/tracking. Regards Andy

[miniman]

I've found MGS at Chippenham (Allington, on the A420) very good for general servicing, repairs, MOTs etc.

For tyres I tend to use Bryant at Roman Camp (probably a bit far from Neston to be honest) or Bathwick in Chippenham.

Hey Andy

I have used James at Melksham Tyree (approx. 4 miles from Neston). Best price for tyres I have found in the local area. They are also doing 4 wheel alignment now too.

As for servicing I recommend Keith Lye speak to Chris they also do good MOTs there too!

Ps... welcome to the area

Jamie at CAR (Corsham Auto Repairs) is very honest and knows his stuff.
