Multimap's not a problem to sort out & neither are directions to the pub. I'm off out in a mo to check a few out down near Lincoln so I should have a decision & directions sorted by this evening .

After a bit of driving around i've decided on a pub:

The Woodcocks inn
Saxilby Road
Lincoln
Lincolnshire
LN1 2BE

The pub itself has a large carpark, loads of seating (inside & out) and even has a kiddies playground outside for in the summer. It's located right next to the marina so it should be really nice once the sun returns

I've attached details of the menu below:

Page 1:


Page 2:


Below is a map of where the pub is:

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...&pc=LN12BE

It's really easy to get to from all directions:

From Sheffield:

Follow the A57 from Sheffield (looking at the map a short stint of the A1 is required). You'll pass by the A6075, A1133 & the A156 that goes to Gainsborough. You'll pass by Saxilby on your left as you pass over a bridge that has roadworks on it at the moment. Just down that road there will be a sign on your left for the Woodcocks Inn. At the roundabout turn right & you can't miss it.

From Chesterfield:

As far as I can see from the map you should follow the A619 which joins up with the A57 just before the A1 & then you just follow the directions above. Some of you may know better ways but as I don't know the area that well i'm just using maps

From Gainsborough:

Follow the A156 towards Lincoln which should then join up with the A57 just before Saxilby.

From Lincoln:

If you're from Lincoln you should already know where the pub is....shame on you! LOL

There are many roads that head into Lincoln from all directions such as the A15, A46, A158 & A46. As far as I can see all of these roads join up with the A46 which in turn join up with the A57. Once you're on the A57 just follow signs for Saxilby/Gainsborough and it should be left at the first roundabout as you'll be heading in the opposite direction from those coming from Sheffield/Gainsborough/Chesterfield.

Right I hope that's all directions covered LOL

There are a number of meets that meet somewhere else before going to the pub so that we can all admire each others cars, chat etc... but as the carpark is so big I think we should meet at the pub and do all that there . That way if there is anyone who isn't so keen on standing chatting in the cold they can go straight into the pub

So to confirm:

1st Lincolnshire Scooby Meet
Date - Sunday 27th February 2005
Time - 1pm
Place - The Woodcocks inn

Hope to see you there

Jesus thats where they got me last April, on the duel carriageway

Pictures are great all three of them, but the wheels look silver !!!!

67 in a 50 zone = 3 points and £60

Thanks for your support guys (& gals ). I was thinking that this meet would attract a couple of SNetters and that's all but you've proved me wrong

Let's make that list a long one coz I wanna take over the pub LOL

Count me in. Not far for me to travel ( from Horncastle ) so I can't miss out on this one.

Allways had a good meal at Woodcocks when we've been in the past, good choice of pubs.

Looking forward to it.
