scooby_simon Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Chaps and Chapesses We now have a few more Tyresmokers who have their location as Herts. Now would you all be interested in meeting up sometime ? No date yet, just, as the title suggests, gauging interest. Now I'm not too good at pubs as I don't get any time to spend in them these days. My old local near home in Digswell burned down a few years ago (no it was not me), but it would have been ideal. So : 1, Please let me know if you are interested 2, Any suggestions as to where. Remember we'll need a good car park, so I would probably suggest Hertford maybe out - except The Barge, but I've not been there in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Count me in - what about Buntingford, Barley or Barkway? There's a nice boozer just outside Barkway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Not sure if I can make it Digswell its about 3 miles from me! A Herts meet is a great idea, its nice and easy to get to from alot of motorways. As you say Hertord has alot of pubs but no large car parks. Stevenage is a bit unsuitable, The Sun Inn in Lemsford is a nice pub cant remember the carpark being that big though, what about the Crooked Chimney on the road to Wheathampstead?

[/ QUOTE ] Stevenage, 'nuff said.... The Sun in Lemsford, OK, been there once Crooked Chimney, yes possible, easy to get to(A1 and M25 close). And the road to Wheathampstead is OK too.... Anyone from the Cuffley / North Potters Bar area - never been down there except to go to GT towing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biturbo Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'm there. Crows Nest in Tring would be a great venue, but a bit further for you north easterners.... Wheathampstead sounds fairly central. Anything good near Welwyn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Welwyn was my old haunt when I was at school (Monks Walk for anyone really local). Grew up in Digswell - Just remembered, the Cowper Arms now has a very good rep. (I think you have to book to eat that could cause us problems - I'll ask mum and dad who live just up the hill) The Cowper is right next to Welwyn North Station.

Mollox Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I;m in - what are we talking about from the northern tip of the M25???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 You lazy sods !! Windsor isn't exactly a million miles away from Herts. Some of us travel (When not busy/ill) from the other side of the M25 (essex/kent) to go to Windsor. Pull ya fingers out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Its just that Windsor is a bit rough these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon, why have you never made it to windsor - it's takes me 90 minutes from Colchester in North Essex at peak rush hour, so it can only take you boys some 45 minutes max.

UBM Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Scooby and Co - I'd still be up for a Herts meeting - but I wouldn't rule out going to one of the others too. We shouldn't be given no choice - i.e. one or the other - we do live in a democracy. If you fancy giving it a go - let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 PS The thread was to assess interest in A herts meet, not presuade people to go to another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 and that's why I said it depends where it is. I already do a couple of meets a month and if I was to go to this it would be an additional one. I therefore don't intend to spend hours driving to it. If all the people are so keen on driving why don't they do to the Northern meets? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby_simon Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 The reason I put up the possibilty of a Herts meet was because I do have trouble getting to the others because of time. I work in london and get home around 19:30 (or when early I pick the kids up and so have to wait till Alison gets home around 19:00) so I'd never get to Windsor before 21:00.... So, that is why I'd like to see if a Herts meet is a goer. I'd avoid the same week as Windsor or MK. Looks like this is a possible anyway - Fatcat, you cheeky fecker ,<smirk smiley> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 How about having a Herts meet up point and then go on to another meet like Windsor. That way we could all go in convoy, be more of a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and last Wednesdays' of the month respectively. Doesn't matter how late you are or what you drive. Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 There are already 3 meets in the area. I'm sure you guys can make one of them. Here's a map of them to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
