Kings Head Tollesbury next week then and The Hoop, Stock the week after (unless anyone has a report on The Hoop not being a good venue??)

Last time I was in the Hoop was about 25 years ago. They had a summer beer festival, lots of good choices, and in those days it was a simple train ride back to Brentwood for me, albeit there must have been a taxi involved.

Not sure this is the right thread but what are the timingsfor Saturday night's PBP pub trip? Larraine is away, so I am just trying to work out where Toby might go! From my point of view, would be better to meet early and then I can bring him and get him home at a reasonable hour...

Not out this Wednesday as at a dinner in London.

I'm pretty sure it will descend in to 'like a Wednesday but on a Saturday' mixed with ACME Awards / Epiphany however I expect there will be a lack of BB...

I tried to check out The Hoop on Saturday night but it was heaving - didn't take a picture of the ale list but it has real ale and seems to have space for bikes.

This week is Tollesbury and might be a cold one!

Thanks - I’ll trot off to the right thread!!

See you there...it does seem to have a couple of similarities with a Wednesday night...

BB might be attending in an unofficial role.

BB might be attending in a substituting for Huggy looking after me in France role. As a by product of that primary role, he might even enjoy himself over there

ooooh, appears that the peer pressure has been deflected away from me

albeit at the expense of C33333333

You still struggle to shake off the label of being The Sensible One (*)- sad

(*) its a back handed compliment as someone has to be sensible.

The archive offers the Witham peloton THIS ROUTE for tomorrow evening.

Maybe not out this week $:-\$

Has there been a secret vote? Am I not still the officially elected Responsible Adult of MEMWNS?

Don't do that!

Still got it.

Mate, on the basis I don't think you've been seen for absolutely ages I think a lot of stuff has lapsed

However, should you care to show your face on a Wednesday evening in the near future we can reinstate stuff

If you need us to choose a venue in the southern environs to make matters easier for you I'm certain it can be arranged

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #12865 on:** 20 November, 2018, 05:17:14 pm »

BTW, you may not be aware that in your absence I have become Appropriate. My new status is not held in high regard by many, in fact it's fair to say there has been a good measure of incredulity

But, I have photo ID to prove I'm not telling porkies.

I therefore can be wicket keeper for The Sensible One should the need ever arise.

huggy · « **Reply #12866 on:** 20 November, 2018, 06:04:38 pm »

For 'a good measure of incredulity' read scoffing!!

delthebike · « **Reply #12867 on:** 20 November, 2018, 08:02:42 pm »

Oh the horror!

I've been appropriated!

Nik's Nick · « **Reply #12868 on:** 21 November, 2018, 12:24:11 pm »

Should be at Spa Road for 1930, assuming a lack of (former) Colonial interference.

Andy C33 · « **Reply #12869 on:** 21 November, 2018, 06:22:40 pm »

Due to overrunning hospital appointment in that London I doubt I'll be able to make it out tonight.

jiberjaber · « **Reply #12870 on:** 21 November, 2018, 09:39:41 pm »

I can't work this gig out, we're on beer #2 and seem to have much money left... I'll never make a BB!

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #12871 on:** 22 November, 2018, 11:27:20 am »

Did you scoop up all the shrapnel which was drifting around on the table just before we left?

Nope - my job was done once we had exhausted the kitty...
