Over the past few weeks I have noticed there seem to be a hell of a lot PH'ers in and around the Cambridge Area.

I don't know about you guys, but I was thinking it would be cool to have a bit of a get together at some point. If you're on the south side of town VW is in reach, but I'm not.

So how about it....

-don't know where or when yet, we can think on that bit-

...I propose a Punt and Pie meet, when I say punt, I'm not talking flat bottomed river craft here (which incidently should be rear driven ).

Any takers?

Went to a very eccentric pub near Duxford once called the Tickel Alms or something like that. Good food and nice gardens but can't remember how big the car park was. Think you need to book as well. Was it near Sawston?

Edited coz I made a spelling mistake and didn't want to get shouted at by Alex the spelling policeman

Yes the Tickle Arms, Whittlesford I think.

A school friend of our's used to work there...

...he used to talk of very strange going's on involving the not-altogether-hetro landlord, his large dog, late nights... I can't remeber enough to make this funny, but I do know that said owner moved away to Austrailia.

It's probably still quite eccentric though.

Could be a good venue. Easy to get to, not in town, plenty of parking....that's one...

I commute from Whittlesford each day (though from the 11th Dec NO MORE!!! Hurrah!!!). Which one is that pub? Is it the one next to the station or is it the one into the village?

Cheers,

Paul

The Tickell Arms is in the middle of the Village, nice pub but I'd saya bit up market for the rowdy goings on of Pistonheaders. It's also changed hands in the last year and is now a foodie place, not that I'd know as whenever I've tried to get a table it's been booked.

I'd be up for a Cambridge meet, although with Bonce and Adam (GTIR) there it would like be like being in the office

What about that pub off the Stow Cum (titter) Quay roundabout on the A14, the one that heads towards Bottisham and Newmarket?

There is a pub with a big car park?

Yep, The Quy Mill. I organised an Elise meet there once. Plenty of room for all the cars. Might I suggest a weekend rather than a weekday, or it'll be too damn dark to see the cars. A Sunday gets my vote.

The White Horse in Oakington just off the A14 North of Cambridge is top for food and good atmosphere. Parking OK too.

Quy mill's very good for me, hailing from Burwell as I do. Are we the hotel down the windy track or the pub in the village?

I'll could look into it on the way home.

Sady for me Bonce, the best ways to see Twink are in the dark or at high speed. She got loads of character and I think a great looker, but she's in her mid teens and her complextion showes it in places.
