Essex Meet

**Straker** · Monday 20th June 2005, 21:22

Evening

Just been taling to Splat and Siam blue (don't know real names sorry) and there has been mention of an Essex meet.

The halfway house on the A127 was suggested as a good venue and it definately works for me.

As for times Wednesday's are uasually best but quite frankly I'm unpopular

so I can pretty much make any night of the week.

Can do this week no worries but next week is trickey as I'm Going to a gig then away on Business.

If anyone fancies it then my e-mail in on my profile or I'll check in here tomorrow.

It would be good to meet some of you I have been talking to and talk Volvo's of course. You never know I might even buy a round.

Let me know.

Cheers

Blimey dead keen. Works for me. It's only 10 minutes away from mine so timing is totally up to you.

Anyone else?

Hi Ya, Wednesdays fine by me too, Car won't have my new addition on it yet, Unless i go for broke with the painting tomorrow lol,

Gary,

What about Splat, he sounded keen earlier?

Andrew · Monday 20th June 2005, 21:58

Actually can someone just confirm the full address - seems there are many places with "halfway house" including a pub in Southend....

want to make sure if I'm doing a journey like that I come the right way. Once confirmed I'll go check the diary to confirm.

**Straker** · Monday 20th June 2005, 22:14

I don't know the pub postcode but this is definately it.

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...ut.x=5&out.y=8

If the link doesn't work then go to junction 29 on the M25 and head onto the A127 for Southend. After about 5 minutes you will come to a junction where the 127 meets the 128. Come off at that junction (you will see the pub as you drive past) and head left towards Brentwood. About 100m after the roundabout take the first turning left and double back on yourself. At the end of this track is the pub carpark.

I still need to confirm. Just waiting for the wife to return to discuss with her. I forget when she's off out so just ask on the day

**Straker** · Tuesday 21st June 2005, 17:52

I can be there at 8pm no probs.

Those who have been there before I suggest we meet in the top bar. Whoever gets there first try and grab a table nearest to the door then we can keep an eye out for each other.

Sorry chaps - can't make this the wifey is out tomorrow and our normal babysitter can't do tomorrow. If you make this a regular thing however please keep me in touch (a little futher north would be nice

I'd like to come along to more of these semi-local meets.
