    North Wilts/Glos/Oxon/West Berks - GTG

    As there seem to be a reasonable smattering of members within the area above I thought I'd gauge interest in a get together in late May say - 23 or 30 May. I figured Thursday may be a good night but happy to look at other dates.

    I had in mind for a venue a pub I know approx 10 minutes south of J16 M4 and a 18:30 start time.

    If there is sufficient interest I'm happy to coordinate.

    Edited re time

    Thanks all for the responses so far. Will bump back to the top every so often to give others the chance to respond.

    Will make a decision re date shortly and PM venue details in plenty of time beforehand.

    It's half term week, but I'd love to come if I can make it.

    Might be tricky to confirm until much closer to the day unfortunately.

    I'll refresh the topic in a week and perhaps contact those who have expressed an interest so far. It would be best to go for a date that works for most.

    Yes of course, and as it happens, I have no way of making the earlier 23rd date, so regardless of half term, the 30th is much better for me too :)

    Quick update:-

    Venue booked for the 30th May. Country pub with ample parking. No passing trade, mainly locals.

    Never arranged one of these before. Will confirm details by message to those who have expressed an interest.

    Any other advice or pointers would be welcome.

    Yes, I could be up for this - not too far for me, about 50miles or so.

    PM sent to those who expressed an interest.

    Mick P I haven't messaged you as you indicated you would be away. If your circumstances have changed and you are interested do let me know.

    Thanks

    Venue confirmed this afternoon - an excuse for a couple of beers whilst out with the dog.

    Hope to see as many as possible.

    David, I'd pick you up or bum a lift but I have to leave early as it's the wife's birthday.

    No problem. Sadly I'm out as swmbo got in first for the evening out. Added to that I'm sitting at work knowing the car upstairs has a rear tyre with precisely 0 pressure in it and it won't inflate so I'm going to have to sort that out before I can come home. Oh joy.

    That was an excellent evening and a nice pub, thank you for organising it and it was good to meet you and the others!

    I'm definitely up for another one soon and will try to rustle up some locals from down here in Hampshire to join me.

    My thanks to all that came along. I'm glad the venue worked. There were some great watches on show.

    Will aim to organise another in September.

    Thanks for organising that Huw, that was a very enjoyable evening. Great to meet up with other members who share a passion in watches. Nice choice of pub too.

    Echo what others have said, I was a late shower but I still enjoyed the evening.
    Although I didn't know a huge amount it was great to see the "dirty dozen"
    Thanks for organising it and look forward to September
