OK folks... this time next week you'll be heading for the Griffin Brewery for PUiaB1

Ahead of then, can you all let me know:
a. whether you're coming or not (pity we might not see a Frank...) so I can sort the bacon buttie requirements and
b. whether you'll be driving and so need to park at the brewery (I don't need reg numbers but do need to have a definitive number by next Friday)

I have mobile numbers for those who were on Le Parc Life Blat. Could those who weren't on the epic trip but are coming along next week let me have your numbers please?

Plan is:

Drivers: aim to get to the brewery at 11:30am (I'll be there from 11:20, so please don't be especially early... or late!) Drive into the brewery (slowly please!) and through to the directors' car park. The entrance is on Chiswick Lane South, opposite Netheravon Road South. Easiest way is down Church Street, which is off the Hogarth Roundabout, along Chiswick Mall (alongside the river) and left into Chiswick Lane South and left into the brewery.

Trainers: will see you in the Mawson Arms just after 11:30am. Closest tubes are Turnham Green and Stamford Brook (both District Line) and are each a 10-minute walk away. Barnes Bridge and Chiswick stations are both about a mile away, the former offering a nice riverside walk to get to the brewery (cross the river first!). Black cabs are available at Turnham Green and mini cabs at Chiswick station.

We'll have bacon sandwiches and coffee (other refreshment options will be available!) at the pub ahead of starting the tour around 12:30.

The tour will take an hour and a bit followed by tasting of as many of 7 cask ales and 9 keg beers that you want to try until we return to the Mawson for lunch at 2:30.

Thereafter, I have no plan but it would be wise for those of you staying over to check-in at this point (the PremierInn is a 5-minute walk away). The rest of us can wait for you outside the hotel or in the George & Devonshire which is opposite as preferred.

From there we can wander along the river and visit whichever of the five pubs this side of Hammersmith Bridge (just over a mile away) you wish!

sounds bloody brilliant Big col, i so am going to try and be there.

"TRY" is not an option frank you had better be there because we won't be able to tell you what a good time we had cos we won't be able to remember ..!!

:big laugh: well when you put it like that it sounds like its going to be the best epic day yet

frank
See you there then!!.

Looking forward to it - and yep, will be in the 7!

Are the North Herts mob (and Hedge?) planning a morning blatt down???

Had a chat with the manager at The Mad Squirrel Brewery and he is happy to entertain 20+ Caterham 7 and owners etc for a Brewery tour and artisan pizza when you have recovered from next weeks tour of Fullers
Just let me know when chaps
Been working my way through the various refreshments on offer and can confirm they are most agreeable, ROADKILL is bloody marvellous
There is also a generous, discreet car park.

Already in the pipeline, just need Le Presidente to organise a blatting appropriate route to Oundle.
Could be a good opener to spring blatting 2018

Wasn't being rude (for once)... just that Hedge is not that local to North Herts...

Last time I went to Oundle most of the roads were flooded...

Just another challenge Le Presidente, maybe on this occasion one could just flood ones internals instead

PUiaB2 all but sorted...?
and PUiaB3 in planning...?
