First 2025 IB Midlands Meet - Sat Feb 1st 7pm Avon Dassett

[World Citizen]

All work and no play is turning me into a social hermit 🥺

Anyone interested?

Thinking, one evening over the last 3 weeks of Jan somewhere mid-country

Gilks Cafe or quiz night at British Motor Museum Gaydon or Hook Norton Brewery open tap beer tasting evening

[Ian Comerford]

I’m up for this but can only make the last week in January.

[Nige]

Yep

[Chris_911]

Yes please!

[World Citizen]

Hook Norton Brewery Open Tap evening is 2nd Weds 15 Jan, 5-8PM, then onto a pub

Or

I'm checking with Gilk's to see if they will have on any pop up evening's when they're open

Or

I'm going to call the British Motor Museum to see if they have a quiz night on, food was good and evening was excellent fun

Or

The Standard, a curry house in Oxford I did it this week, food was good and also found a pub that does a lock in 🤫

Or

Caffine and Machine, near Stratford, The Hill, real one where more than 3x cars turn up, plenty of evenings to choose from

If it boosts numbers it could be a Fri., or weekend evening

I'll give it a couple of weeks to gauge interest then choose a date, time and place

 

[Beaky]

Depending on the date,  I'd drive up from London

Only 4 replies, 2 yes and 2 maybe's 😬

How about a teams meeting instead, while everyone is eating their dinner at home 🙄

Happy to consider another more convenient location or as this post has died on it's ar$e, knock the idea on the head

[tea boy]

I would love to do something like this.

A weekend would make it easier for me.

 I can’t commit to anything at the moment though, due to current circumstances and things.

 I do appreciate you making the effort, WC.

LMAO

Let's do it, I have a few people I can bring along also. Do somewhere good though.

I may be away somewhere hot for my bday at the end of Jan but we'll figure out a date. When are you going back to the land of the rising sun?

[johndglynn]

OK the Yew Tree at Avon Dassett is just off Junction 12 of the M40. Not eaten there but looks good whenever I pass it.

We could book a table for 8 around 7pm on Saturday Feb 1st? If we book for 8 people we can easily fill that.

Saturday 1st Feb at 7pm and I will book it.

Yes names so far -

• JG +2
• WC
• IanC
• Nige
• TeaBoy
• Chris

 

 

[World Citizen]

Nice choice JG, looks as good a place as any

Put me down as yes + 1

Yes names so far -

• JG +2
• WC +1
• Chris?
• Nige?
• TeaBoy?
• IanC?

[Chris_911]

I'd like to be there.

[Nige]

Yep from me.

[Beaky]

I'm in

[johndglynn]

Cool, I will book it then. Feb 1st 7pm - put it in the diary.

We could potentially find something to do beforehand. The museum is near but not going to keep your average petrolhead occupied for long.

We could perhaps get there earlier and anyone who does not want to eat could come for a pint and a chat.

Yes names so far -

• JG + Tankman +1
• WC +1
• Chris
• Nige
• Beaky
• IanC

This is nine. TeaBoy tbc!

[Ian Comerford]

Yes from me too

[World Citizen]

Yeah, Tankman 🥰

Me + 1 could make it earlier

Chris T hasn't yet said yes. I would like to come but I may be busy with work. I think Chris 911 was a yes though.

Yes cool. Tankman has some big news which I will leave him to share. Should be a fun night.
