Title: Trial venue for June's Brizzle meeting Post by: Harvey on 20 May, 2010, 11:02:40 PM We've been meeting at our current venue for about 70 years, and although consistency can be a virtue, we thought it's time to dip our toes in the water and try somewhere new.
For June we're going to meet at The Bull in Hinton, which is about a mile and a half south of J18 on the M4. The website is www.thebullathinton.co.uk (http://www.thebullathinton.co.uk) and includes directions. It's already hosting a number of car club meetings, and has a private room out the back ("The Pantry") which means we can spread out, re-arrange the furniture, and all sit together. The pub's listed in The Good Pub Guide 2010, too. 8) I'll bring maps to the May meeting at The Compass (26th May - don't forget) for those not on the forum. Otherwise, please join us at The Bull on 23rd June.

Good move that Harvey, I attended the Bristol meets at the Compass from about 1994 up until I left the area in 2001, but I've never been overly impressed with it, yes, It's convenient to the M4, yes, it has a decent car park, and the little back bar was convenient, but I never found it that friendly, and as I used to travel up straight from work in Cardiff, I often used to eat there as well, and while the food was good, the prices weren't! Good luck with the move.

Title: Re: Trial venue for June's Brizzle meeting Post by: sparehead3 on 23 June, 2010, 11:04:56 AM Don't forget the new venue tonight ! :)
Nice evening , we can all talk about football .... maybe Title: Re: Trial venue for June's Brizzle meeting Post by: Betaboy2.0 on 23 June, 2010, 12:54:53 PM IF you talk about football, I will put my "interesting fact" anorak on for the evening, and tell you all about the intimate workings of the Hoover 1124a "Convertible".
I suggest in the inerest of world peace, we just stick to Lancia talk! See you later!

BTW Basil was a little naughty and left some deposits on the carpark. Not a lot , just a few drips. All in all though a very pleasant evening with some nice pictures. I'll put them up at lunchtime. Title: Re: Trial venue for June's Brizzle meeting Post by: Betaboy2.0 on 24 June, 2010, 07:23:24 AM It was Douglas I think you will find. Basil was safely tucked up at home!
Yes - Douglas is suffering from a little incontinence at the moment. Coming from the back cam-box lower gasket. Another over-the-winter job I fear. Great new venue last night - and an excellent selection of cars. Looking forward to seeing the pics later A Title: Re: Trial venue for June's Brizzle meeting Post by: Harvey on 24 June, 2010, 07:51:02 AM I think the last half pint was an error...
