Drift inn?

So the Scarlet Pimpernel might make it, dont tell Citizen Chauvelin!

[Kevin Wheeler]

Fine by me. I will be there at 20:00 ish

[The Pits]

Aah, balmy summer's eve at T'Drift. No finer place to sit and watch the excuses roll in. Will be there in the Esprit unless it's raining. Or too sunny of course.

Happy to swing by yours Dave if you like, I don't believe you've had much puffa jacket seat time to date.

 

[peteyg]

Too far for me so I'll wait for the next one.

Have fun!

Pete

[eeyoreish]

Me too. I might have been tempted to pop along to the Cheriton pub but New Forest is a bit of a drag from Emsworth...

[pbharcourt]

I am happy to go with the majority, I love the beer at cheriton and its nearer to me.

Could we tempt the foresters that far from their trees though?

[peteyg]

I changed my mind! See you at the Drift if it's there or Pots if not.

[DaveC72]

Did we finally decide on a location for this?

[The Pits]

Would the more northerly but grandiose sounding Empress of Blandings be worth anything as a compromise?

No idea what it's like, never been there but looks like a large car park which is always a bonus.

[Kevin Wheeler]

It is Hall and Woodhouse - so good beer. Food is good too. Plenty of room. Good place to meet. Any good for the Emsworth contingent @eeyoreish ?

[eeyoreish]

Just a bit too far out for me on a week night. Plus I've just realised it's tomorrow and the current Mrs H is still off her feet after a knee op...

Next time you're at Cheriton I'll make the effort to come along!

[pbharcourt]

Empress of blandings this time, but there are some lovely pubs near emsworth if you fancy arranging something a bit closer for you next time around.

[The Pits]

Empress it is then. 7.30pm?

[Kevin Wheeler]

Fine by me. @Tokyotaxi? @Rogue?

[Rogue]

Sorry guys I cannot make it tonight. I am off to Le Mans with my son on Thursday and i'm sorting out the car this evening and packing. Is anyone else doing Le Mans this year?

[DaveC72]

Have had to come straight home. Equine problems.  Sorry guys

[Kevin Wheeler]

Sorry to hear that. Hope everything is OK

@eeyoreish have a great time in Le Mans.

Oops! Wrong person - sorry!

A quorum was formed, beer was consumed and the world was put to rights
