Anyone interested in a few drinks one evening, now the evenings are drawing in might be nice to have a little gathering and a few beers of course :)
Will see what interest there is before deciding a venue and date

West Sussex is probably a little too far for me, but depending on date and time i may pop down. :)

As I am the other party behind this, I had better reply ;)
As maver states, we'll see how much interest, and then plan a little social :beerchug:
Count me in depending on the date.:)
Where are you thinking about?

Dunno yet, my local sounds like a good idea, well within staggering distance :beerchug:
Need to find a fairly central point though, will have a ponder
I think i could be tempted :beerchug:
Need to find some where that is easy to find, how about the Coach and Horses (at least i think that's what it's called, i will have a look tomorrow as i go past at silly o'clock on my way to the airport) It's just West of Worthing on the southside (westbound carriageway) of the A27, good parking, figured this might be a good place as it has easy access to the A27 from the A29 & A24.
Or there is the Fox & Hounds at Patching, just a little further along the road between Worthing & Arundel, northside of the road , not been in there for years so do not know what it is like, but it used to be fairly good, there is another one on the A27 that's just been rebuilt following a fire, nice thatched building, buggered if i can remember it's name though :aargh4: , northside of the A27 just before Patching.
Now for a date, i can make Monday 31st Oct or Monday 7th November at the moment, all other dates in my diary are taken up with work overseas until December.
If anyone else has venue ideas, please let me know on here, i shall be away in Iceland (ahhhhhhh my favourite :) :) ) working for the rest of the week, but will have internet access so i can check the site/mail regulary, im ideally looking for something with easy access and good parking for the masses.
Hope to see you all soon.

Just remembered what it's called " The Woodsmans Arms" kind of appropriate really :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Hiya,
Missed this thread before now. I've been busy decorating the bathroom. :o
I'd be interested in meeting up some time. I'll check my diary sometime for those dates.
Martin
The pub sounds great not too far from me.
However i'm not free on either of those dates.
They are about the only dates i can make because of work travel commitments, still im sure we will be able to get another one going in the near future

Andy you could all ways drive down to me, then I'll drive the rest of the way.
More worried about the time i'd get home as i work 7am-3pm most weeks, and as you know as a non coffee drinker it takes me a lot longer to wake up than you guys - i dont think work will appreciate me catching up on sleep under the desk! :lmao:

Mondays are a dead duck for me, scout night.
Any other ideas
As my work commitments have changed for this week, how about we meet up at the Woodmans Arms between Worthing & Arundel this Friday (28th October) at say around 8pm, might be a little easier for people being the end of the week.
Hands up who's coming:
Maver
Sorry Maver
I ain't goin' t' make it. At work until 20.00 and working ALL next weekend, as well as this one :rant:

Revive and Pint....sounds like a match made in heaven :)
Am I right in thinking you are an RH postcode man?
My problem is dates at the moment, but lets see if we can muster some interest.
Any suggestions :beerchug:
Trying to find a date that fits for everyone is always difficult.
When are you free Stovie?
I am probably looking at second or third week in December. But it will probably have to be during the week. Mondays and Fridays are a non starter.
I will try and firm up a date soon.
How about yourself. And what about place. Horsham area?

It's very easy...the bar is right infront of you as you walk through the door :D
Hope to see you there :beerchug:
To get to the Black jug..............The pub is nearly opposite the cinema on the A264. If you can find the station, head south, towards the town center, after about 100yds turn right into the carpark. You do not need to pay after 6 pm. Park you car and then carry on south down the A 264 towards the town and the pub is about another 100yds on the same side.
Grid reference for parking is TQ 176 308 and the pub is TQ 175 307.
Cheers..............Jon
