I would be up for this generally but 14 Nov I am being supercutural and attending an Andreas Scholl concert at King's, Cambridge.

Ahaha, inventor of the wooden sandle.

I'm fairly interested in this. I could get a train to Hat Pev and cycle home afterward. I probably wouldn't bother if the weather was crap or icy though

Just as well I'm a geography teacher cos I've had a fiddle with Googlemaps and I reckon your best bet is to ride 1.1 miles to chief's house, jump in the Merc and let him drive you 1.8 miles to the pub.

We could meet you at either Hatty P or Witham station and you could come with us for a spin up TMNH.

Chief could swing by my house thus avoiding any cycling, even better.

Good idea, I can see how that would work!

Good ~~plan~~

Afraid chiefy cabs has been put into administration due to a lack of fares

Is whatshisface coming out to play?

Just to clarify, this isn't like the Hatfield Peveral place where you have to bring your own food, beer or hand drying machine?

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3358 on:** 29 October, 2012, 04:32:50 pm »

The Windmill offers a full service, i.e. they provide food and drink. It is also very close to where you live. You can cycle there, I know you can - be brave, give it a try.

Who is ...

You know whatshisface

Even though I'm only 1.96 miles away, I've never actually visited the place before but look forward to it

Will you be wearing those crazy shorts again?

Sweetheart, I'll wear whatever you want me to wear!

Where is the MEMWNS going this week? The Windmill, East Hanningfield, or another The Windmill?

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3363 on:** 30 October, 2012, 08:23:07 pm »

I'm not sure its going anywhere this week. I'm off to see James Bond tomorrow night - sorry folks!

Defo a different target audience, that'll never work for us 'live by the minute folk'

Oaky · « **Reply #3366 on:** 02 November, 2012, 10:57:59 pm »

We've been there, done that and found it fell apart too easily... I think we maybe didn't/don't have the same core of regular riders that the Pompey chaps/chapesses have?

huggy · « **Reply #3367 on:** 05 November, 2012, 02:16:27 pm »

Before anyone thinks about suggesting any advance planning for this Wednesday - I'm not out this week

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3368 on:** 05 November, 2012, 03:19:52 pm »

I need to stop being a lazy git so I am planning to get out. I was thinking in terms of The Cats or The Hurdlemakers although I'm more than happy to fall into line with the plans of others.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3369 on:** 06 November, 2012, 09:33:32 pm »

Any takers for tomorrow night?

Tomsk · « **Reply #3370 on:** 06 November, 2012, 09:37:38 pm »

I'm out [Book] Clubbing! But I can do Thursday....

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3371 on:** 07 November, 2012, 05:53:09 am »

Thursday (tomorrow) is a possibility. I will have to consult Head Office. Can anyone else make tomorrow night as opposed to tonight?

Is it Henham time already?

Tomsk · « **Reply #3373 on:** 07 November, 2012, 11:15:08 am »

Ah.... Henham.... Soon to be exceeded by The Blackwater Estuary Christmas Do, no doubt! [Rolls off the tongue don't it?]

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #3374 on:** 07 November, 2012, 11:17:17 am »

Where shall we go tomorrow night Tomsk? My original thought was The Cats or Hurdlemakers or both but I'm up for other suggestions.
