Careful!!

If any of the OcUK staff run a B&B this could be taken as a link to a competitor and earn you a holiday!!

Who wants to print out a big OcUK logo, stick it on a piece of cardboard and walk around Reading train station with it unitl we all meet up lol

 

[shadowscotland]

lol not me - would be better if the logo was on a laptop aka moble cruching station.

 

[Whitestar]

Although you wont be accused of slacking, chances of someone mugging you while you hold up a laptop would be pretty high lol

Meet up at the Riverside, Oracle shopping centre. There's a bloody huge carpark on the back of it, and it's only 5 mins walk from the train station.

Old Orleans, Nandos, Slug and Lettuce, Bar Med, several local cafes/grills etc., and even McDonalds and Pizza Hut if you're desperately out of ideas where to eat.

I've been on a recon mission today. Could have done with a nice bit of Al Fresco today. It's been gorgeous outside for this time of year.

Shame I didn't have time to eat.

Now all we need is the time.

I reckon on a 3 or 4 in the afternoon start and a contact phone No. for later arrivals.

 

[Berserker]

Works for me for sure.

 

[rich99million]

yup sounds good

 

[Freefaller]

If I'm in the country or even just at a loose end (which seldom happens ) - I might pop along, it's less than an hour by bike (doing legal speeds of course...) But don't put me down as a definite...

 

[happytechie]

sound's to me very much like a plan...

iirc there is a bridge over the river which is an easy place to meet

The bridge sounds good - and if it's raining?

 

[happytechie]

I'll have an umbrella

There are about four (if you include each end of the place).

I'll do a map and put a nice red 'x' on it for the meeting place.

X marks the spot ey, and pie be the treasure jim-lad

 

[Berserker]

I haven't found the pie shop. Not sure how far it is, or even if we still want to go there (plenty to do/eat/drink in the place I've already suggested).

I've been hearing today that the pie shop has aparently gone downhill somewhat and it's always busy (so we'd need to book) so it may well be easier to grab something in the oracle instead.

[happytechie]
