Last Sunday in April (25th)

I've located a Pub (a Wadworths for those who like their local beer http://forums.sidc.co.uk/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif ) in Rowde, The Cross Keys, which is on the outskirts of Devizes. There are some nice drives to get here, down through Amesbury across the Marlborough downs or up across Salisbury plains to mention a few.

Map is here (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?pc=SN102PN)

They're children friendly, with playground http://forums.sidc.co.uk/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif and meals for those who have families, but importantly they have plenty of parking for scoobs! http://forums.sidc.co.uk/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

We can either do a Sunday lunchtime, where we have to book numbers, or a limited menu for a late afternoon, early evening meet.

So who'd be interested? http://forums.sidc.co.uk/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif http://forums.sidc.co.uk/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif post your names and numbers below...

Glad it's nice and close Nigel :D...I guess you will probably walk? :D ...nah... :)

if anyone wants some food, remember to give me an idea on numbers as we have to book at this place, .....I'll book people in for 13:30 ish...unless anyone has any objections? If you don't need feeding, then just turn up! :D

Me too, work permitting. Convoy sounds liek a good idea, but best watch out as they speed trap a lot through Wroughton, Avebury, Devizes - presumably because the road's "lots of fun". ;)

David, If you manage to get a good turn out for this I think many will end up parking on the road. How many "Scooby Spaces" fit in that carpark.

David B
21 April 2004, 08:12
That was my concern initially Nigel, but I've spoken to the landlord and we have our own parking in the school carpark right next door! :D

edited to say the car park will be opened up just for our meet and is normally locked. :)

~~~~~Scoobs only parking~~~~~~~

Cheers

David

Hi Guys,

I hope you don't mind me gate crashing your thread. Do you mind me asking if there are many scoob owners living around the area of your meet tomorrow, that participate on Scoobynet?

I know there are a couple of latest shape Impreza's floating around the area (We have just added to the total) but of course they may not necessarily be on here.

Have a nice day

Catherine, There are a godd few Scoobs now floating around this area both classic and new shape. Not every one seams to come on here, however if your over Bath / Bristol area most of those owners (and thats quite a lot) can be found on "Scoobyzone".
