Hi, from Berkshire

[Old Spice]

I am one of a group of regular visitors to LM, (Woodcote Wanderers").
We are booked into MB this year and are coming down from St. Malo on Wed. 10/6.
We have 2 MGB's  and a Pug. Estate with the tents and the beer.
Hope to meet up with you.
Heavily supporting Aston Martin.
Cheers,
Old Spice

Woodcote in Reading?
Welcome to Club Arnage

Let me be the 1st to say welcome to the "mad house" 

Not sure why they call it that

You're right Barry, Woodcote is over the river in Oxfordshire. I just happen to live South of the river in Hare Hatch. Most of the Woodcote Wanderers live there and we always start our trip to LM from the Black Lion in Woodcote.
Cheers, Old Spice

Are the Packhorse, Packsaddle and Squirrel still Gales pubs?
Is the Gales still any good now that they have shut down the Horndean brewery, and brewing it elsewhere?
Fond memories of the Woodcote area, ex lived in Benson, and I wrapped my first car round a tree coming back from The Packhorse after lunch one day.   Gales HSB, loved it!

Try and make it to the saturday evening CA meet, it's a faces to names session.
