Bristol mini-meet 3

[mechsympathy]

It's about time for another, methinks.

[GlenMH]

I agree - not this week, or next though... How about 4th May (Tuesday after Bank Holiday)?

Glen

[dazren]

I should be about on the 4th of May.

DAZ

[mechsympathy]

I can make it. Are we going to Hotwells this time? (I thought Daz mentioned a curry house there)

[dazren]

There is an excellent curry house in Hotwells, called the "Raj Bari". Now we just need to decide which pub to meet at. With yourself, Glen and Yertis being over by the previous venues we can have a beer at one of those pubs and I can drive over to the curry house and drop you all back later?

May the 4th (i'll) be with you.

[mechsympathy]

Fantastic Daz, I've been looking forward to a ride in the Plutowagen

I used to live in Pooles Wharf Court - the best place over there with parking has got to be the Pumphouse. Nice sitting area outside if the weather is good. Also only a couple of minutes walk to the Raj....

What do people think?

Glen

[yertis]

Huge and luxurious though it is, I doubt we'd all fit in the DazPanzer. Probably best to meet up over in Hotwells. Easy to find and get to for out-of-towners, too. I've not been to The Pumphouse since it opened - in 1985 - so I'm happy to go for that.

[agent006]

Anyone care to supply directions? Eitehr that or i'll meet someone somewhere and hassle them all the way into town in my hired Focus.

Good plan. The beer isn't bad either.

Do you think you might get leave of absence this time Pete?

[pdV6]

Maybe - what sort of time are you planning the beers/curries?

[yertis]

Normally about 8.00...

[GlenMH]

Can we go for a slightly earlier start? V early trip to Swindon then up to Halifax after work the following day

Suggest meet @ 7.30 then curry @ 8.30 ish?

Cheers

Glen

[pdV6]

Should be able to make it this time. Might struggle for 8.00, so may have to head straight to the cuzza house if you're planning to get there for 8.30.

[pdV6]

{bump}
Any "official" timings?

[dazren]

Shall we say:

7.30pm at the Pump House pub in Hotwells.

8.45pm Raj Bari Indian restaurant on Hotwells Road. (coming into Bristol it's on your right, one yards before the ESSO petrol station which is on your left).

I will be driving ze Benz, so can drop the Gloucester Road massiv back to their manor post-drinkies.

Can everyone please confirm if they are attending the pub or going direct to the curryhouse. I need to know numbers for booking a table.

DAZ

[pdV6]

I'll try to get to the pub (hopefully about 8 or shortly thereafter), but its rather dependent on getting BabyV6 off to bed & settled, so I'll call/text you, Daz, if I'm going to go straight to the restaurant.
