The Compasses is next week, keep up!!!  You've not been reading the memo handout have you?   I can see the fault is mine, I should have briefed Josie then she could have told you where you need to be 

[jiberjaber]

Actually she was the one who said it was Compasses this week! I will try and be there if I can for a pint of ruby red!

[Oscar's dad]

Dear me 

[tedshred]

The Wheatsheaf will require careful planning on my part but I intend to be there and I hope to relieve Tomsk of one of his most excellent caps.

Is a Witham peloton forming ?

[tippers_kiwi]

I will do my best to get there, things seem to have calmed down on the work front and with my new lighting in place I am back to enjoying the dark. I will try to get to Spa road for 19:30 but don't wait around for me as it is more likely I will be making my own way.

Im baffled. Where are you guys going? I may join you there as cant leave till about 2000

Don't come here if you don't want to be baffled.  We are kings of baffledom, especially where forward planning is involved that may or may not get changed at the last minute.
I believe the agreed rendezvous location for a liquid refreshment or three is the Wheatsheaf in Writtle.  Not that I will be there on account of real life getting in the way.

Hang on.  At the risk of further baffling Johnny Faro, if our guest of honour (Jiber) is in that London then why are we traipsing across Essex to go to a pub south of Chelmsford.  Bobb doesn't count for these purposes as his "local" is the Three Elms

So, somewhere slightly more Tomsk friendly than either of the Compasses might suit better ?  The Sun in Feering ?  The Chapel in Coggeshall ?  The Crown at Messing that we missed last time ?

[jiberjaber]

I have plans afoot... bike lights on charge and a cunning deployment of old commuter bike to train station and a slow cooker full of stew bubbling away hopefully to mitigate leaving Euston sometime after 17:30ish!

Though like all good forward planning...... 

I've been dreaming of a pint of Ruby Red for Quite Some Time

Strangely all of these appear to be closer to Mersea........ no idea why??

Sounds like someone trying to derail Forward planning to me 

Personally I would be quite happy to stay a bit further away from Chelmsford but I'm not too bothered either way. I might also be reading it wrong but I find it difficult to figure out how a pub in messing is more Tomsk friendly

I think Tippers it was meant to read 'more Ted friendly!'

That annoying bloke is back again 

So, the Wheatsheaf is 15 miles from Dunmow, the Chapel at Coggeshall is 15 miles, the Sun is 18 miles and the Crown is 20 miles.

The Wheatsheaf is 30 miles from Mersea, the Chapel is 17 miles, the Sun is 14 miles and the Crown is 13 miles.

The Chapel (or another establishment in Coggeshall) is equally Tomsk/Ted friendly or unfriendly.

The Chapel is 7 miles from Spa.

Actually, my local (in terms of MEMWNS regular haunts) is The Wheatsheaf, Writtle at 1.8 miles 

I may or may not be able to get out tomorrow anyway 

[tedshred]

Bobb, you are about 18 miles from the Chapel so it really is the magic location.

[tippers_kiwi]

I've never been to a pub in Coggeshall so I am well up for that if others are keen.

We've been to the Chapel Inn, Coggeshall a few years back, its a 2013 GBG pub.  It was dead but it was a particularly foul winter's night and most sane people had stayed indoors.  We braved floods and all manner of other challenges if I recall.

Yeah, don't go there on my account as I don't know if I can come out tomorrow or not!

[Oscar's dad]

The Chelmsford posse get another local on 4th January, The Ale House.

[tedshred]

Chapel or Queens Head in Coggeshall.

Chapel is now quite foody apparently and has 3 regular ales (Doombar, Wherry and Ghost Ship plus 2 changing beers.

The QH carries the Red Fox range and one guest.
