Anybody fancy getting together to kick tyres and grab a bite to eat?
I was think of Ampthill sort of way as that's (I think) roughly in the middle of Herts, Beds & Bucks area (but happy to be told I failed the colouring in course at school).
I also don't know of any good pubs with good car parks around there.

Weekend in mid May? Sunday 11th? Sunday 18th?

Anybody?

I'm happy to meet up with just a couple of people and it will (should?) make it easier to sort out when smile

There's the Hare and Hounds in Old Warden - 30 car(ish) car park, very nice food, nice roads and location. Not sure the really low stuff will make it into the car park without turning around, but there's also the vllage hall opposit.

Graeme (Coupe V6)
Simon (? (sorry mate, can't remember what you're running at the mo))
Mark ('Teg DC2)
Mick [go on you know you want to] (No idea you swap too oftenwink)

The Hare & Hounds in Old Warden is here (on the south east side of the road): google map

It's a bit further from the M1 that Ampthill, buth I know it's a nice pub in a nice village with parking there and over the road from there too smile

D'Oh!

I think that Sunday May 18th at about 1pm would be good... the problem is making sure we book to get served food (hence me trying to track diwn numbers).

I need to know if they are eating yes - This place is good and reasonably cheap too so gets booked up pretty fast.

With the weather the way it is I expect it'll bring other yokels out too; it's next to Shuttleworth Hall and a chocolate box village.

I will (try to) book for all down as a yes/most likely who haven't said they don't want to eat tomorrow evening.

Dave, have you got a postcode for the pub please ?

And what was the timings again ?

[cheapskate mode]Assume this is normal pub grub too, not gastro pub prices? [/cheapskatemode]
Hare and Hounds, Old Warden, SG18 9HQ
Be there for 1 (Sunday 18th)

It's a gastro pub type place, but the meals are normal pub grub prices - the steak and winter game dishes are a bit expensive, but really good.
