Warks / Worcs / West Mids Monthly Meet August/September 2020

[richyb66]

I've been back to the Malt Shovel tonight to check out the state of play. They are now open for drinks but unfortunately the area they have set aside for drinking will only accommodate half a dozen people.

In addition, they are busy on Wednesday nights with people eating subsidised meals and often use the drinking area for eating.

With this in mind, I still don't think it's safe or practical to hold our regular meeting there just yet.

I have also done a quick tour of a few other local establishments to look for an alternative and haven't found anything suitable. I think most that are open are mainly serving food and they are also likely to be busy on a Wednesday. 

If anyone has suggestions for other possibilities, let me know but I won't organise anything unless I can make a visit myself and ensure it's going to be safe for those attending.

Hopefully I'll catch up with everyone soon.

If anyone wants a drive out to Caffeine & Machine I'd be up for it. One week night, maybe nothing too official that we end up swamping the place with cars, just a few of us meeting up maybe (at socially-distanced tables outside of course)... play it by ear with the weather?

[Thrashed]

I would be up for C&M. 

[Jez Morton]

Last I heard you have to pre purchase a ticket to get access for C&M. May have changed now but worth checking.

[Andi]

Have it on a Thursday 

[brumster]

Tickets are Fri-Sunday only, plus wednesday nights if there's one of their special-interest nights going on. Basically, in the week is fine to just turn up and pay on entry. I was thinking a Tuesday or a Thursday myself

I'd be up for a blast over that way if anything gets organised. Cheers.

[Thrashed]

Hi all. Weather is looking reasonable for Tuesday. Who is up for a trip to Caffeine and Machine?  Be nice to catch up with you all. I am planning on getting there for 6:30-7pm.  An yes the Zero is still off the road so will be in the tintop!

[richyb66]

Could be up for this even though it's a bit of a trek. Do we need to pre-book?

[Thrashed]

Yeah. It’s about 45 minute for me too but be nice for a catch up with everyone. No need to pre book on a Tuesday as it is a ‘normal’ evening.
