Next Wiltshireishers meet?

[Thomzo]

Well, we haven't had one for ages (unless you count the mini-meet that Sunflowergal and I had this morning). So, usual rules apply: anybody welcome, you don't have to live in Wiltshire; location TBD depending on who's coming; expect to picnic in the rain.

Shall we say Sunday 24th July?

Anybody up for it?

Zoe

[chickenchargrill]

I would totally be there if it were closer and cheaper to get.

[happyhippy]

Not sure if we're working that weekend,but if we're not,we'd like to come?

[baldybloke]

Will provisionally say yes to the 24th, but July is shaping upto be pretty hectic.

[thesunflowergal]

I will be there Zoe, thanks for organising this!!

[thesunflowergal]

Bump, a bump, bump, bump!!

Come on guys

[snapdragon]

ooops I've been out of things for a bit - i shall calendarise (hee hee new word) it and hope to be able to get there

[Thomzo]

Great, sounds like we'll have a good crowd. Any preferences on location? Lacock was lovely if the weather's nice, or perhaps we should book a pub just in case?

Zoe

There's a picnic site at Blacklands on top of the hill between Calne and Devizes or there is another in Savernake Forest. Pubwise there is the Barge at Honeystreet.

[Thomzo]

The Barge sounds like it should be on the canal? That sounds a good place if it's wet and a picnic if it's nice.

The Barge sounds great!We've been there twice in the last 6 weeks and really like it there.It is right on the canal and has fantastic views across the fields to the white horse.The pub is run by a community(cost £20 per year)and anyone can join.Its quite a hip happening type place,usually have live music on a weekend at night,campsite at the back of the pub with a permanant yurt which is rented out to groups or for accomo.

[baldybloke]

Sounds like a plan then if everyone is happy. For those who don't know The Barge at Honeystreet. it's just south of Alton Barnes which is between Devizes and Pewsey. It's a great pub next to the Kennet and Avon canal and the centre for those who believe in crop circles.
Do we have any idea of what sort of time (Ish).

[Thomzo]

Just googled it and it looks like a great place to meet. Are they likely to get busy on a Sunday lunchtime? Should we plan to get there when they open at 12? Whoever gets there first, bags a big table and put something suitably Ishy on the table so that we can all spot it (although most of us have met some of us before - if that makes any sense).

Zoe

[baldybloke]

If we can get a head count then it might be worth booking a table. If it's nice then we can sit outside on the benches.

ooo Honeystreet is nice - and nearer
