The next club meet will be at 7pm+ on Sunday 14th March at: The Lock Keeper pub. Keynsham Road, Keynsham, Bristol. BS31 2DD. T: 0117 9862383
Personally I am finding Sunday eve's quite hard to attend, I beleive Bri is working on additional meet times including a weekday eve for the future.
More news closer to the time.

Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time, but always enough time to do it again?

Just an idea, can we have our meets on a Sunday morning?nbsp; Preferably at some greasy spoon.
When the weather improves we can then look at other ideas.
Just a suggestion.

I've been chatting with Phil about running some alternative meetings this year. One idea is to have a mid week evening meeting as quite a few are saying that the weekend is not convenent for them. Though personally weekday eve's are a no go for me  What I'm looking for though really is a few stopping places about Bristol that we could use to vary our venues say one to the north of the city one to the west and so on. Also thinking would it be an idea for us to meet at a location in town and then drive out to these places. Could I also have a few ideas for club run outs, similar to last years joint Apple country Cheddar run or over to Symonds Yat for the day... ideas please and I'll puts some dates together   |

Going to propose the obvious South East location of Hartley's and that is a Saturday or Sunday morning Breakfast run, or lunch. South is the Lodge by the Lake(not the cafe), forget its name right now but it isn't that much of a drive out before stopping, so perhaps a Cheddar / Clevedon location, easy to pick up Apple at any of those 3 I'd have thought. Will do a few test runs for other suggestions |

If you are thinking of Clevedon then the Salthouse is a possible suggestion or the Old Inn has a reasonable sized car park.
With Cheddar you are probaly best with the Riverside ph as they have a reasonable sized car park and a public car park next door if the pub is full.

How about
Lady Smyths
Blaise Castle
Chequers Pub
Longleat
Suspension Bridge
Sea Wall (Downs)
Bristol Trade Centre - for a decent breakfast - then on to something else
Weston
Saltford Marina
Castle Combe - just for a run out

What about The Burrington Inn at Burrington Combe...they got good parking and we could do a circuit incorporating Blagdon and Cheddar. It would be less crowded than trying to park at Cheddar.

What events are in the area for this year ?
Car related if possible, then we could combine the 2 things.
other events might be welcome or at least an excuse to out.
Not sure breakie was too good at Burrington though.
Stopped for a cuppa at New Manor Farm near Bishops Sutton, decent carpark and ok value cuppa, sadly no view of cars or much at all from tea room. Research continues.

Agreed, last time we went to the Burrington Inn breakfast was terrible. All greasey and tasteless. |
