Some of the hardstanding behind the pub, leading to the camping field. The shower block is in the background

Standing near the entrance to the camping field looking all the way down to the end

The field is L shaped and this is the other bit.

the Landlord is very proud of his garden and grounds and keeps them in tip top condition. the field had been properly mown every time I've been there.

And one more thing - there's this in the garden. A bit of me is dreading the drunken antics that could happen here, but I know you'll all be very sensible really ;)

Re: Pictures of the venue

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Maybe we should rename it to AR Artois...... :)

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Just to confirm then SK, the grass is OK then?

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Yeah, and the Landlord seems to be our kind of nutter :)

Re: Pictures of the venue

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

If you bring it i'm sure we'll use it :lol:

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Mhmmm, it better be sunny!

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Why do you want to buy a little girl who can do the splits in shorts?

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

LOL I wondered that too!

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Trambopoline, oh dear...

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

I'm not going to be on sick duty!!

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

I'm gonna be sick from bouncing :shock:

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

I'll have a look when I get home and the images are not blocked by my work.

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

That field looks in real good nick :shock: No burnouts on there please you viscious Motorcycle Hooligans please...

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

But....







and here's the good bit...














with a bit a preparation the landlord has said.....



























We can have a FIRE!!!!

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Well thats a bonus, who will be chief stoker? I vote Saeed or Jamaxx lol.

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Look like a good venue, but there's only ONE table in the front garden. Can we have a sweepstake on who's going to get a seat in the sun??

My votes:

Messie (she's the boss this weekend)
Bear (well would you argue??)
Graciepants (Bear will clear a space for her if she's in those nice leathers)
Andy Brad ('cos we all owe him for the group buy)

Four seats left, anyone else got any suggestions??


Keith. (who'll probably be chief pyromaniac if we have a bonfire)

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

disabled badge holders only.

Namely Timwilky, Miss Ophic, and perhaps davepreston (if any of this list are actually going)

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Well that would be an issue, but that pic was taken a while ago
Was there again yesterday and there are now many tables in the front garden (at least 10 large round ones) so we should be OK. Didn't take the camera yesterday but will get down there again soon

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

YAY!!!! Nice work Messie, be great to gather round a decent sized fire of an evening.

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

hey, you leave my topbox alone

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Cheers messie - nice to see..

looks good.


that cobbled kinda affair at the back for cars.. that is slippy as a slippy thing aint it when itswet n mossy for bikes.. from my experience.. not a critique just an observation/warning..

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Hmmm

Think I might need to get some soft panniers. I haven't got room for my Bottles of port to go anywhere else :(

Messie, will reply to your pm tomorra - in bed on the iPhone like some kind of perverted Internet goblin at the mo. I've 2 takers on fancy dress, just waiting on 3rd one to get back to me before we go costume shopping

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

quality, sorry to hear of your off, do you recon you will still make it to ar.

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

pub looks a bit small

:-s

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Went on a bit of a reccy run at the weekend and the pub is intimate as opposed to small i'd say.

has a lovely front garden to chill out in and the fields at the back are huge, so i'm sure we wont be suffering for want of space mate :)

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

which is grooovy, as long as it dont rain.:smt023

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

It best fecking not, I think one of the reasons for the later date was to try and get some better weather :lol:

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

Messie assures me she has ordered the sunshine and recieved a resiept for it an everything ;)

Also plans are in hand for a big shelter thing like last year should god decide to have a little cry cos he couldn't come to our AR :)

Re: Pictures of the venue
 

If it does I'll just nip home til the sun comes out :lol:

Re: Pictures of the venue
