Messing About By The River Pt2

[stum450n]

Well it seems it's time once again for an Oxon midweek mini meet, particularly as the charity event at Combe clashed on the dates - a worthy sacrifice though!

With the evenings being even lighter than last time, it seems to make sense to make the most of the cracking spot at Lechlade again so:

7:30pm Weds 21st July Riverside Park, Lechlade

Link to map here

As with the last mini meet it'll mean that we're not restricted to members in and around Witney so this is going up in SW as well... will be good to see a good mix of regions! Oh, and I'm working on getting the gates kept open for longer so we can get some pics of the cars parked down by the river - will keep you all posted on that one though.

Matty or I will be bringing a football for a kick about too!

For those that didnt come last time, there's a cracking chippie up the road for anyone that fancies fish & chips on the river bank! I've spoken to them and if we want to save the individual trips up there (and the waiting) we can pre order this time - if you could say if you fancy anything in the list below, that would be excellent! I'll get the actual order on the day

(Riverside Inn is just over the bridge for anyone who's got a thirst on but I've a feeling that'll be quite busy and it's only got a small car park)

Names below for anyone that fancies it please:

DANDELION AND BURDOCH!!!

Man, loved that stuff and not drank it for years.....

Thought the same, was sat here trying to think where I could get some for old times sake!

[stum450n]

Waitrose

Yeah, but that means getting dressed and leaving the house!

[Vimmy]

Sorry guys i cant make this one, I have a huge amount of training to get through for my black belt exams starting in August, Mondays and Wednesdays are heavy nights so I'll have to pass on this one

No worries Col, there will be other. In fact, I'm off in a sec to take a look at a spot that Kylie tipped me off about

[Vimmy]

The last one was a right hoot, keep us posted on the spot. I wanted to come to this one and don't want to let people down by not turning up after they organise it all..next time tho'

["NIGHT PROWLER"]

happy days,

why not meet in the river side inn?

grab a beer sit at the river side and watch the kids jump off the brigde and break their necks when they hit the river bed.

think i might seek out for a hr or 2, good times.

One of the benefits of me living over 10 years in Oxford - got to know it very well. There are quite a few little places like that around the city, but that one is one of my favourites. Glad you liked it

[Vimmy]

Ew spill the beans then, where have you been Stu

I heard uranus mate

Nope, was here although Matty, I have to say congrats - I've not heard anything that funny since, well, err, dunno, err... since I was 6!

[stum450n]

Me to mate, just couldn't help myself!!!!! i reckon this place needs some cheapo laughs at the mo

The trout eh, nice place......

Just up from the trout - means we can make a bit more noise and kick a ball that little bit harder!

To confirm though, for this mini-meet, we will still be meeting in Lechlade.

You're not wrong about needing a laugh mate... Week today, not long now... bring on the Dandelion & Burdoch!

[smiley kylie]

Bit of advanced warning guys, but i dunno if i can make this now

Got car issues and an inevitable big scary bill on the way ( and i dont mean him indoors either ) so im saving cash wherever i can.

Sulky Kylie

No worries Kylie, thanks for keeping us posted. Saw the thread on your turbo... that's a bit of crappy luck isn't it! Hope you can sort it pretty painlessly.

Im going to have to throw my hat out of the ring on this one guys, the wife is working the evening.

No worries mate, family responsibility trumps a meet any day of the week. There will always be another.

[Vimmy]

I heard uranus mate

Ah Matty you run rings around me

[stum450n]

Not long now, anyone else fancy it?

[stum450n]

Stu - how about meeting at that layby in Burford? You know the one where the food van normally parks?

Yep, can do... about 7:15?

[stum450n]

Coolio

Quick nudge to remind anyone that might be planning to come along that this is tonight.

See you there

Oh, Matty, as turnout seems low, you want to meet a bit earlier and go via the chippy like last time? Say, 7pm?

[stum450n]

Good meet last night despite it being just Matty and myself - incredible fish & chips to boot!

Matty, thanks mate, had a laugh - run back was fun too

[myles]

Agreed Stu, great to catch up and loved the fish&chips/jumbo sausage lol!!

Those roads are real nice when clear!!!! ;) I was going to continue towards Eynsham, but needed sleep.....

Looking forward to the next...

Ahhhh, the jumbo sausage hey Matt? Two of you on your own, the conversation rolls along about Subarus, slows down a bit, awkward silences, then the jumbo sausage rears its ugly head........
