The return of: Son of PH Pint in Enfield Anyone?
Discussion
Provisional date: Wednesday the 16th of July 2008. Time 19.00 or when you arrive.
The last meet at the K+T was excellent, but food was there none! Time for a car enthusiastic pub.
Location either the Plough, Crews Hill, which is just up the road from the King and Tinker or the Robin Hood on the Ridgeway near Chase Farm Hospital. Both pubs have large car parks.
I will conduct the, err “field research” shortly and report back. I know it is a tough job, but someone needs to shoulder that heavy burden of responsibility.

Phil has suggested that it might be a good idea to have the meet on a weekend during the day. This would open up a post-meet hoon capability too.
As the weekend of the 12/13 is the Classic Lemans, the best date would either be Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th.
What do you think chaps?

Having a weekend meet is Ok by me but , on a personal note I'm on holiday from the 5th July until the 12th. 
Please remember that if you go ahead on a Saturday or Sunday, Crews Hill and the surrounding areas get chocca with old biddys in their mark 1 Micras chugging about on their way home from the various garden centres in the area with half a rainforest sticking out of the sunroof.

A weekday evening is best as its easier to disappear for a few hours whilst the OH watches America's Got Britains Best Talents of Corronationoaks or such like.
Weekends are spent under the bonnet or waving heavy machinery around in the name of Gardening. 3 hours out of a weekend is inpractical, just takes a chunk out of the day. Much like 12pm football kick-offs.
Or just tell me to go away as my engine is not in a V-shape and I dropped out the last meet
Not at all, CTF. Weekends are spent under the bonnet or waving heavy machinery around in the name of Gardening. 3 hours out of a weekend is inpractical, just takes a chunk out of the day. Much like 12pm football kick-offs.

Summer evenings, long warm summer evenings, spent in the company of fellow petrol heads are always good. And particularly so when a decent country pub comes as part of the equation.

I will be there....once the date is confirmed. Is it the 16th or will it be at the weekend?
On the 16th. Expert local knowledge confirms an excess of garden centre numpties at the weekend. 
. The Plough is also VERY busy at the weekend if the weather's good.
I've heard that road gets nose-to-tail when all the wrinklys get their Micras or old Rovers out for a trip to the garden centre.
Are we fairly set on The Plough then? I've never been in there (only seen it from the road) is it going to be quiet enough for the best part of twenty PHers to turn up?
Next time I am up at Chase Farm I will conduct a quick reccie at the Plough.
Good reconnaissance is seldom wasted.
Hi Blib,
Just returned from Bucklebury. Glad you enjoyed the car. Pity the weather was so poor. LSU 534 will reappear in: Son of LSU 534, in about ten weeks time. Time for a return match hopefully. Oli is quite keen tocane drive your Stratos and Phil wants to have good rummage in your engine compartment. Ooh err missus.
No wiper and pouring with rain! What an excuse.
PS - Thank you for the free nosebag. Much appreciated.
See you on the 16th.
ETA - Three for the price of one. I have this in wallpaper size if anybody would like a copy.

As I was in the Enfield area today, I thought I would have a quick reccie of both the Plough and the Robin Hood pubs.
1. The Plough,Crews Hill, Cattlegate Road, Enfield.
Notes: Very friendly welcome, excellent seating ouside, 58 parking spaces, although this could be increased to about 65 spaces with intelligent parking, big beer garden, ankle biter area at the back of the car park, standard pub fare, but served in large portions, good hoon via Whitewebbs Lane and the landlord will reserve part of the pub for the PH group if needed. Entry to the pub is via two entrances/exits and a good view of the road allows for an easy approach.
Parking:
Beer Garden / Outside seating
The Pub
2. Robin Hood, The Ridgeway, Enfield.
Notes: Friendly welcome, no seating ouside, 55 parking spaces, although this could be increased to about 60 spaces with intelligent parking, big - although hidden from car park - beer garden, no ankle biter area, standard pub fare, good hoon from the Herts Ridgeway direction or via Whitewebbs. Car Park noisy as close to main road and scattered. Entry to the pub is via two entrances/exits.
Parking:
Beer Garden
The Pub:
I have spoken to both pub managers regarding our meeting. Both the Plough and the Hood have put a reserve marker in their book for the 16th of July. We need to make a decision which pub to go for as I will need to inform them by the 10th of July.
I for one like the Plough. It seemed very friendly, the parking is very good, there is a lot of space to mingle, part of the pub would be reserved for us if needed, the outside seating is extensive and in very good condition.
My choice would be the Plough, but as in all these matters democracy prevails.
Ladies and Gentlemen, pleasestart your engines state your preference.

May I humbly suggest that we either get the mods to change the title of this thread to include the date of the meet or, alternatively, start a new one with the details in the title?
Casual visitors to the London forum would not know from the title that this is a meet thread. There are only two and a half weeks to go and we have only 8 people this time.
Elliott.
Good thinking that man. Mods please change to: PH Pint in Enfield 16/7/2008 anyone?Casual visitors to the London forum would not know from the title that this is a meet thread. There are only two and a half weeks to go and we have only 8 people this time.

Many thanks.

You're not related to Gloria Hunniford are you? 
Alas no, but the "sporting activities" I would have liked to have errr ... undertaken with Goldie Honeyport in her prime are definitely not for this forum.PS - How is the Strat? Fitted any good wipers recently?
Your Gloria Hunniford comment has conjured up some horrendous images in my fevered inagination! I won't be able to sleep for months!
As for the wiper. O.K yes.....it fell off...........in the middle of a rainstorm.....a mere trifle.
At least my car has a front grill that it can call its own.
Did the guy take the car btw?
1. Gloria. What can I say? I was young and foolish and young and .... ad infinitum.
2. The grill fairy called two days later and delivered .... a grill.
3. Yes, But I can have another built for you for you now that you are free of a certain educational burden, so to speak.
4. Son of LSU 534 is already specced!

Freddie, just look at us! Old fogies chasing each other through cyberspace!
Great news with the Jags!
Please don't get your salesman hat on though Freddie, I'm already trying to avoid the classifieds on here and failing!
No salesman's hat. Not for friends anyway. How about a group 4 full fat Stratos rep to add to your current one?Great news with the Jags!

I will cut and paste the list over as well. Any objections?

ETA: I take it that we are agreed on The Plough as the venue? I won't start the thread until that's decided. Don't wanna railroad this.
