Winter Social 2022
Winter Social 2022
Well, it seems a little odd to be arranging the winter get-together with all the stuff currently going on in Sussex and Kent but believe it or not, the last Saturday in November is just over 9 weeks away . Anyway, this year it falls on the 26th.

See you there, the first people are usually propping up the bar from 12

Should be fine to make this, for the first time in quite a few years.

The wonder of the world, the beauty and the power, the shapes of things, their colours lights and shades, these I saw. Look ye also while life lasts.
Re: Winter Social 2022
Looking forward to it but I must remember that the bar doesn't open until 11am

Hoping to make this again but will have to confirm closer to the time
Re: Winter Social 2022
23 degrees in London today but the 'winter' social is only 4 weeks away

Re: Winter Social 2022
Thought I'd do a quick 'bump' for you as I've just blitzed the Favourites! Only four weeks? I better start sorting my ticket

Re: Winter Social 2022
Seems that there will be a rail strike that day now.
Re: Winter Social 2022
Just had a look at booking a ticket but looks like the trains are only running to Basingstoke with or without a strike. There's a bus replacement between Basingstoke and Shawford

Re: Winter Social 2022
Why don’t we move this to a spring field event? Somewhere near a pub

Re: Winter Social 2022
There was talk of Daneway before covid hit.
Can we have a show of hands as to who's made plans to attend this and whether postponing it to the spring would be a better option?

Re: Winter Social 2022
I'll be driving so happy either way - or indeed perfectly happy to do both.
An alternative (or additional) spring venue should probably be reasonably accessible by public transport in an ideal world.

Re: Winter Social 2022
Edit: Not sure if I misunderstood Pete's post. We will go ahead with the 26th. (Too late to cancel, especially since not everyone logs on as regularly as others) and plans will almost certainly have been made now.
Put your thinking caps on though, and if anyone knows of a nice butterfly rich site that's easy to get to and has a convenient place for light refreshment nearby, feel free to suggest it .

Re: Winter Social 2022
Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to make this one. That weekend is looking particularly jam packed with family commitments. Disappointing as it’s always great fun meeting up, but maybe the potential spring option will time better. Have fun all those attending…..

Re: Winter Social 2022
My thinking was that some travel by train so that they can partake in a beer or 10
I'll have to take my son to work in Guildford, but should be able to make it.

Re: Winter Social 2022
I'll still be heading there and Philzoid has arranged a lift to get there as well...
If anyone can get to Southampton Central there is a Blue Star bus that runs from the city centre to the White Horse at Otterborne...if that helps?
As for a Spring trip I don't mind where as if there are butterflies about the number of pints consumed will be drastically reduced and even switched to Cokes
