Title: September Queens Square
Post by: Bulldog Bri on 17, August, 2015, 12:22:54 PM
Just thought I'd point this out. :( The next Queens Square meeting will clash with the Bristol Half Marathon and looking at the route there's not really any chance cars are going to be allowed in to the square as the runners will be going through mid morning.

Anyone want to meet up somewhere else for the morning? Out of town? ::)

I have just emailed Tony at the ADC to ask if it is on or off.

Best to find out for sure 1st I would think.

I would say the Downs but I have no idea where the marathon route goes and they may well be up there too!

How about Portland Square or Brunswick Square? Both have a nice 'parky' bit in the middle and parking around the perimeter. Brunswick with marked out parking bays and a cafe close by, though I cant see it being open on a Sunday morning.

Trouble is, the marathon watchers will know that and most parking will be spoken for.
Better off out of town as we wont know where we can and cannot drive let alone park.

Current word from Tony at the ADC is that the event will take place the Sunday after so you may wish to factor that in. That is not set in stone yet though.
