There seems to be a few Surrey people around the forum so we thought a meet would be good.
Lets start by sorting out a good time and day.

Saturdays or Sundays
day time - bring kids
- or evening
Sun Oct 31st
Sat 6th Nov
Sun 7th Nov
Sat20th
Sun 21st
Where would you like to meet up?
I'm open to suggestions, a pub or Harvester/ Beefeater,
Hunters Lodge A322 good food- or the Pirbright version The moorhen.
Fire awayon here or PM me if you'd prefer to.
Helen

It would help me plan it if you could all please choose a couple of the dates and hopefully we'll find one to suite us all. Thanks. Hx

The Hunters Lodge is OK but the Moorhen went down hill a couple of years ago, maybe it's improved since then. We prefer the Royal Oak or Worplesdon Place. Oct 31st sounds good, we could make it a haloween thing . I'd prefer daytime so I could bring the kids.

Dave & Jen

Hi Helinuk

We are Graham(45) Julia (45) Mat (17) Oli (14) and Harriet (3). We are form Bracknell and are hopefully going to Perth Jan/Feb 2005. I know its not Melbourne but still would love to meet up with you all.

Oct 31st would be good for us.

Just let us know the Time and Destination.

Julia

HI David and Jen - Yes The Royal oak sounds good- its a no smoking pub is that ok with others? The Worplesdon place is ok too.
.... 2 Families for the 31st...anymore takers?

Graham and Julia and family do come to the meet we'd love to have you. (our son has just taken his A levels at Ranelagh - our daughter couldn't get in there so is at Ascot L.V. taking GCSEs. )Where do your children go to school? Hx

Hi Hx

Our eldest has an apprenticeship in Wall & Floor Tiling, he is currently away at college in Nottingham. The 14 year old has just started Year 10 and is at Easthampstead Park in Bracknell.

Are your children happy to be going? They are at a difficult age at the moment, my 17 year old says he will go and give it his best, but will return if not happy. My 14 year old can't wait.

Look forward to meeting you all

Julia

Julia, are they happy - yes and not sure! Son is on a gap yr now off to NZ to teach in a school for 8 months, then onto uni in UK. daughter is thinking it all through, likes Aussie boys. likes OZ - but will miss the grandparents! look forward to chatting more at the meet up!
Helen

We went to the Royal Oak last night but they don't let kids in the main bar (which is most of it). We had to sit in a little area with just 4 tables, no heating and right by the door that kept coming open on its own! Not too impressed. Maybe the Huntsmans Lodge would be better.

Dave.

Thought I would bump this back to the top in case some Surrey/Berkshire peeps had missed it.

Sun 31st October sounds good for us. When a venue has been decided could someone pm us with directions.


Thanks

Julia & Graham

HI, I know that they are used to largish groups at Hunters lodge(A322 near Sainsburys Brookwood) so I could reserve a whole alcove area. Please let me know how many from each family. Thanks
H.

Hello Helen
Hunters Lodge A322 Sounds good to us, let me know what time.
Thanks for organising
Karen

Hi Guys

Regarding the time how about 12 O'clock midday, does this sound ok.

We have another family would like to join us Pogsy and they are from Bracknell too.

Julia

I telephoned the hunters lodge I'm waiting for the manager to reply- apparently the bar man didn't think they reserved tables. But I'll ask for 12noon when he phones me
NO problem with another family- will be great to meet them.
please give me an idea of how many people are coming thanks
Helinuk

Hi Helin

We will be 2 adults and 1 nearly 4, I am working on the 2 teenagers at the mo, they would like to know if any other teenagers will be there.


Thanks

Julia
