First Thursday pub meet

[adrianclifford]

Dawn and I, along with Michael and Marion have visited a lovely pub today which we believe is worth a visit, again with the view of making it one of the replacement pubs.

It's the Shepherd & Dog on the A129 London Road, Crays HIll CM11 2YA. There's an excellent conservatory, in addition to the main pubs two bars. It is situated midway between Wickford and Billericay so it's very easy to get to.

Other Car Clubs visit regularly so we may share with Triumph TR's or even Mercedes but I think it will not create a problem. As it's only experimental at the moment we can alter the visits if the needs be from the first to the third Thursday.

So we'll see you on Thursday 7th November and I hope you will let me know what you think of this possible regular venue.

Please pass the word around and don't forget it's this Thursday (17th October) at the Windmill in East Hanningfield, both pubs are expecting us.

The Shepherd & Dog Steve, location as previously written.

How are you, it's been a few years ?.

[Kieron Lacey]

Hope you enjoyed the new pub, I've always had good food and service there, sorry I couldn't make it last night.

What did everyone think of it?

Is it a winner?

[Kieron Lacey]

Technically I had a roadsters meeting yesterday...
Isn't that right Andy & Emma?

[adrianclifford]

It went very well Kieron, Andy apologised as he couldn't make it, Steve Shorey didn't show up but a dozen did, all fed and watered very well, plenty of room and chat, so all in all a good start.

We've been invited to take on the Triumph TR Club in a inter club quiz in February, we'll talk more about this in December.

I feel it's worth a second visit with view to getting more feedback, what did anybody else think ?

[Andrew Regens]

Have you decided which pubs will be the meeting places in 2014, I arrive on the Feb 2nd so where on the 6th?

[adrianclifford]

At the moment, it's still the Shepherd & Dog unless people don't like it or another better suggestion comes along, keep an eye on the forum Andrew in case of change.

[adrianclifford]

We will still be at the Shepherd & Dog until anything changes (it will be announced here and by e mail) so I'll remind you now for the February meeting on the 6th.

I'll also mention the landlord has invited us to a pub quiz on Saturday the 8th, he wants somebody to finally beat the TR Register. We have eight people so far and we can have more so who's up for the quiz ?
