Chaps and chapesses. It was suggested on another thread that we Basingstoke PHers have a little get together for a beer sometime soon.

This sounds like a damn fine idea. A chance to gas about cars over a pint.

We need a pub that can be driven to, if desired or taxid to, preferably, that is not far out of town.

I'm going to suggest Barton's Mill (pub) which is on the Old Basing/Lychpit border.

Now we need a time. How about a Friday night sometime in the next month? 7:00pm.

Suggestions, please....

Any pub outside the ring road is okay with me..

21st or 28th look okay to me.. unless my social secretary informs me otherwise

I'm thinking 28th then...CarZ...you and I should get a taxi together - I now know the walking route between our houses (roughly...)....


Come Basingstoke PHers...register some interest then. There's lots of you, I know!

I would be up for that, my missus works in Basingstoke so I can get a train in and a lift home. Beer is always good!

Excellent. We now need whatever, icamm and the many others to sign up too! Chance to drink beer, talk cars, and lie blatantly about how fast you took Paddock Hill Bend last year....

Barton's Mill would seem to be a fine choice.

28th is fine for me.

I'll post up directions tonight for anyone who wants to drive...remember if you want to drink come in a taxi - that's what I'll be doing. Any Basingstoke Taxi driver worth his salt should know where it is...

Is this an open invite?

I only ask because i live about 40 minutes from Basingstoke, and i might be able to make it (wouldnt know until nearer the time) if its a 'more the merrier' affair?

All it is - is going to the pub for a chat with some car-ry mates...who read PH and live near enough to Basingstoke to want to come along.

AFAIC anyone who wants to come along, have a beer and a chat is welcome...

Its a Friday so the pub will be busy anyway...

Don, Don't forget to save a little space in that cab for me - I don't take up much room

Good for you! Now...everyone needs to wear something PH related - a cap, polo shirt, fleece perhaps - Ted'll give me commission later perhaps! Don't forget to introduce yourselves...

I wonder if the outdoor heated seating is still out....

...well, it was the Saturday before last when we had an afternoon family walk to the pub

We were supposed to be going a bit further, but seeing as it was en route, so to speak...
