Interesting fact: Ray Wilkins and Richard Keys sang Happy Birthday to my mother in law in there!

Interesting - so another place to take the mrs out for bite you think??

Oh yes! Fab food, great service - a really, really great place to dine. There's no doubt that taking her there will get you into her kni...errr...good books.

I think it should be changed as the current pub is:

A: a boring ride to get to
B: can't stand around the bikes chatting about the things
C: not really a good atmosphere to the place


Plus the people saying its handy on the way home are usually ther one's driving to it !!! (wayne omitted from this for good reason)

Also i feel this particular section (the guildford massive) now appear to be overly moderated, why do we need so many moderators ???
This used to be a good section in the days of Ben/Lee/Joe etc.
Not any more!

it's clique, I'm not fussed about the pub and I'll go along with a change if there is one

Sorry you feel like that jontoms ask the mods why they are mods of this section also like i said in my post i'm not bothered whether we move at all and no i'm not always first to stick the boot in i just happen to be on here alot since i moved down i met some good people in this section of the forum and class them as my friends

as for me riding a bike no i don't, doesn't mean i can't i have the licence i also have a huge lack of confidence too but as you have never spoken to me then you wouldn't know that would you

i guess theres always one exception to the rule most people i've met in the few months i've been here have been friendly

hay, let's chill a bit here!

True, this forum is focused on bikes, specifically SVs, but lack of SV has never been a barrier to anyone taking part. There are plenty of people on the org who don't yet have bikes, and several of us no longer have SVs, but it doesn't mean we can't be involved. And as for Tara she came all the way up to AR06 and took the trouble to spend the afternoon shopping for beers & BBQ stuff for the rest of the gang - so you can't really deny her a spot here.

As for the pub, I don't mind giving somewhere else a shot one week, and if we like it let's move the meet to there.

We chose the pub as a thread was put up months ago deciding what pub to go to and the anchor was chosen, we could go to any, just need to put it to a vote but feel we cant change the pub every 5 seconds just cause the roads have changed. The numbers we have had recently have proven that its been a popular place, but post a thread and see what the response is, simple as that, we havnt had a guildford massive meet in ages and just wanted to get one started and this is happening now, once we get the members we can then change the location if so be it like gmonsta has suggessted.

Heavly moderated maybe but i have spoken to Lee and he doesnt have a problem, he hadnt been on the forum in a while and it needed a mod, so why just have one when we can have two, its not like its a big deal tbh.

JonToms your post in my opinion is bang out of order, Tara is always about on the forum and she is contributing a post just like everyone else, everyone deserves a say not just those who ride a bike, a good chunk of members on the forum dont ride a bike let alone ride an SV, you yourself know that, people are on the forum because of the community feel.

Crikey. A bit harsh there Jontoms. I've only met up with the massive twice now but already feel like a part of the community. Tara and Wayne (amonst others) have made me feel very welcome. As for people being clicky well soemtimes people are shy and don't talk easily to newcomers. I can be quiet at times and that could be misconstrued as rude or whatever but it's never meant that way. Anyway, as I said I'll happily go along with the crowd on this one although I have to admit that a nicer route to the pub is always a bonus. But then people come from different directions so what may seem like a good route to us could be naff for others. Just my two peneth.

Only been to the Anchor once and my opinion is tainted... weather was crap and I was soaked... im sure it would of been great otherwise Could see wanting to go somewhere else during winter tho
