Shoulder of Mutton at Aldham might be worth a look.Nice old pub,large car park,5-10 minutes from the A12,5 minutes from the railway museum at Chappel (for those who are that way inclined),large car park. Goldwing and Beemer bike clubs often have meets there.
And its 10 minutes from me if Im not working. :)

 I know this was a motive to your suggestion ;)

I looked at two places one in Witham called Jack & Jennys decent sized car park; restaurent and childrens play area or the Bell Inn Boreham.  So will go with your choice just got to decide a date now and I propose the Easter Saturday 3rd April or following Saturday 10th April.  Feedback on both dates would be appreciated :y

Dont do that johnny ffs!! i might not even be there. Was just suggesting you might want to have a look and add it to the list of possibles. :y
On both those dates I finish work at 7.30am and start again at 7.30pm, so could probably pop along for an hour or two and say hello/ put faces to names etc. :y

It looks good enough to me - as long as there is beer and some where to park the car, what more do you need. :y 

At the end of the day its a place for a few people who have a common interest to meet up and put names to faces :y

Just a case of settling on the day now.

And hopefully you can make it :y

I'll let you speak to Mrs JCB about that one.
Normally I would say yes, but the trouble & strife is at a college course tomorrow, so I have some quality time with the boys.  If I could fit them both on the back of two wheels they would be coming with me ;)

Beer don't taste the same through a telephone :D.
 
To cut a long story short the Landlord is quite happy for us to turn up 8-), just need to give him a few days notice. So a clear date from the two I had suggested will need to be known.
I took the family for a quick visit - nice setting old traditional pub with a few real ales on tap ;).
Next question? How do I start a vote to gauge peoples feelings on either date?

Would be nice to have a spare just in case, though. I think the 10k km service interval is a bit pessimistic.

I know nothing about any Chinese.  I think Chris may be going for a meal back in Reading.  I may be able to squeeze you in.  You and bob can kip together.  I've not got the biggest house but may be able to sort you out, unless someone else can put you up. :y

I havent forgotten.  Just been quite busy lately with work and other bits and bobs.  Still looking for a venue and setting a date.  So just bare with me.  Get back to you soon ;)
Shoulder of Mutton at Aldham might be worth a look.Nice old pub,large car park,5-10 minutes from the A12,5 minutes from the railway museum at Chappel (for those who are that way inclined),large car park. Goldwing and Beemer bike clubs often have meets there.
And its 10 minutes from me if Im not working. :)

 I know this was a motive to your suggestion ;)

I looked at two places one in Witham called Jack & Jennys decent sized car park; restaurent and childrens play area or the Bell Inn Boreham.  So will go with your choice just got to decide a date now and I propose the Easter Saturday 3rd April or following Saturday 10th April.  Feedback on both dates would be appreciated :y

Cheers Chris for the bump.

Just a quick update.  I made a mistake it opens at 12. :-[.
Hope this don't prove any inconvience for anyone. And hopefully see you all there tomorrow.
