Worcester

Only an hours drive from Hereford. Cannot do 30/31 Sep or 1/2/3 Oct, as we have our first go-live so I shall be working.

Could be up for this.

I think I’m in 🙂

Good pubs in the middle and premier inn at the cricket ground.

I will be there if anyone needs a lift from the DY postcodes let me know.

Will try and come if I can.

I’d probably be up for this.
Got a DY postcode

Dates I can’t do 14/15 Sep and 19/20 Sep.

I will also be up for this.

Definitely interested.

Plenty venues in Worcester and surrounds. Hotels Worcester/Malvern.
(inc. 2 Spoons with rooms!)

Can’t manage 1-4 Sept; 5-12 Oct.

Definitely can do except for 7th Sept

Oct good. Prefer Worcester to Kairdiff.

Hi All,

To set the ball rolling will suggest 3 local “non-city” venues that offer both accommodation and good food:

Bank House Hotel, Bransford (Olde Worlde, golf course, 3m Worcester)

The Swan Inn, Hanley Swan (Village green type, v popular, near Malvern)

The Baiting House, Upper Sapey (Out in sticks, excellent food, 9m Worcester)

Am sure someone with recent experience can suggest the best Worcester venues and accommodation.

Another local venue to add to above list:

The Crown Inn & Sandys, Ombersley. (Renowned village inn, 3m Worcester)

looks OK now but might have work.

Probably can make that weekend. Would be coming from North Somerset on the Saturday morning and going to Mid-Wales on the Sunday, if that helps anyone.

Got no email 🙁

Belay that – just arrived.

What sort of pub crawl is likely after dinner? Thinking of taxis/getting back to hotel etc

Just a point t Bank House is out on its own. Moving on from there will require taxi. Unless you walk a mile or so to the Fox.

Heads up to those with Hotels.com or Expedia Rewards accounts – they list the hotel mentioned so you can get your usual 10% off the website price.

Well I think I’ll treat my self and stay at Bank House. I’m too much of a lightweight drinker to do pub crawls without adequate supervion anyway

Hi all. As per SB’s earlier e-m request, have proffered for consideration an alternative venue in town to eliminate the need for taxi’s.

Ye Olde Talbot Inn (Olde English Inns)

As being fairly local, I’m happy to go wherever is decided.

I would be up for the Ye Olde Talbot Inn rather than the Bank House.

What’s the parking situation like in Worcester?

Thanks b-bob

My 2 cents. Premier inn with paid parking – 10-15 mins walk to the centre. Taxi situation to/from Bank House is not great.

I dont have any details but would like to join (tomorrow??) , could anyone please post when and where or send to red.onions@yahoo.co.uk .

thanks

Fratacula/Michael

thanks Snots, information received. Will call them tomorrow to see if the table can be stretched to 10 as my wife wants to join

I had planned on coming to this, & will still try – I can bring a dog-bowl if there’s no room at the table. I am currently on a fizzer to get out of my house by the 30th & may be ‘v busy’ tomorrow. My new place is near to Worcester, but atm only looks like a storage facility.. see you if poss!

So, who’s in the pub, then? Bit early but can’t see anyone recognisable.
Look for a balding bloke playing with an iPad and drinking orange juice through a plastic (REEEEEEE) straw.

Inbound, ETA 45 mins.

Who’s in the pub?

Ah well, wasn’t to be. There in spirit if not in spirits, see you @ next do when I’ve finally MOVED.. Have a grand time all.

I second the motion!

All in favour say Aye, Aye.

What date is the brewery bash ‘19
So I can book somewhere?

Anyone up for another meeting ?

Sounds good to me 🙂

Affirmative from me also. 🙂

Anyone have any preferences on venue or what food they would like to eat? Or any pubs in Worcester anyone wants to try? Or do we keep to the same venue?

As long as it’s not next week, I’m pretty flexible.

OK, I’m good for any time until mid-Dec, and don’t care where we meet so if the last venue was a good one that’s fine by me, otherwise there seems to be a vast number of places round here compared to where I’ve just moved from, but I don’t know any of them yet..
Looking forward to it.

Fully flexible here Wooshy, dates and food choices. Plenty of potential venues. Will dig out a few more suggestions… Nags Head, Malvern; Rectifying House, Worcester; Crown (Spoons), Worcester.

Sorry been a few days, busy with work Etc. Are we all OK with 30th of November or the 1st of December? If anyone wants a different venue speak up now. I am going to presume people want to eat food like last time, so once we have a venue and if those dates are OK with people I will reserve a table!

I can do either but would prefer Saturday. Looking forwRd to it which ever day you all choose 😄

I’m in Germany but might be back in England by then.
Probably would come for a drink then go home

I will be up for the next meeting. I don’t mind which day you do.

Sorry busy week! I have provisionally booked the 1st of December at Ye Olde Talbot again. We all know where it is, if anyone needs directions or anything else get at me. I’ll put full details up once I have confirmed with the restaurant.

P.s I was originally going to go for the 30th of November. But with Tommy’s March going on, on the 1st I thought we could discus the days events after. Again any issues or problems get at me.

Wooshy, rally has been moved to 9th Dec.

Proof:

Thanks Wooshy looking forward to it🙂

Slight issue this morning, I rang Ye Olde Talbot last week to book a table, which was apparently fine. I had a phone call this morning to say they have had a double booking, they said they can accommodate us in the bar. If people are happy with that then it’s fine by me. But I am going to ring a few other pubs to see if I can get a table. If people could let me know. Sorry about this.

Happy to go with the crowd

OK, sorry hectic day. I have rang the crown (spoons) they can accept us. I have also been thinking I am presuming people will possibly be driving, if people are not bothered about being in the city as such I’ve been told there should be room at the Stonehouse Manor on Malvern Road or The Swan at Whittington (just off junction 7 M5) both of these have on site parking. So if people prefer the centre or outskirts let me know! I know most people said they are easy. Sorry its all abit Heath Robinson.

OK I am going to say the Crown in Worcester. They have said we don’t have to book, it might be busy mind. It’s a Weatherspoons so it’s not going to break the bank. But it’s not going to 5 star Michelin grade quality. (just so everyone know what we are getting into) If anyone has any issues speak up now. If people do want to think about parking and such I recommend parking at Pitchcroft car park or the Hive. Postcode for these are:-
WR1 3RD for Parking
WR1 3LL the Crown in Worcester.
If anyone wants me to meet them somewhere to walk them in if they are unsure let me know. One final thing apparently its going to be the first day of the Christmas Market in Worcester, I do imagine it’s going to be pretty rammed of people. So if people do fancy a quieter drink and food say now and I will book at table at The Swan at Whittington. Again I can only apologise for the Heath Robinson of all this. Hectic week in work, I’m already over 40 hours and I’ve got to work saturday before our meet up too!

I’ll be in Worcester from 6ish!

**** PANIC ****

Fuck. Forgot about this.

I am google mappijng.
Keep me updated.
ALready had me tea

Om me way. ETA 2000

or I’ll get lost.

Thank you to everyone who attended tonight great to meet people and exchange tales and such! Again thank you all.
