After a little arm twisting i have been able to rearrange my Thursday evening appointment.
So Andie, where is the suggested meeting point? What time? I will let Dave know what, if anything, is arranged.
Cheers
Alistair
PS How'd it go at the Walnut?

Alistair....after staying for another hour at the B&RS talking to lovely Richard, we were a little later home than anticipated. Lizzie and Ben tried the Walnut Tree out for supper last night and the food was pretty good. Going to pop in this evening for a drink - if I can persuade David to buy me one!
Re Thursday evening - no idea where to meet, not terribly hot on pubs around Blandford area. HELP!

I don't know the area or its pubs, but quick review of pub guide suggests:
The Mitre, High Street, Shaftesbury Royal Chase Hotel, Salisbury Road, Shaftesbury The White Horse, Shaston Road, Stourpaine, Blandford Forum Damory Arms, Salisbury Road, Blandford Forum
Wasn't the Royal Chase suggested yesterday? that or The White Horse look the easiest to find without Tom Tom, as they appear to be on the main roads.
Any thoughts?

Royal Chase - not sure about, more hotel than cosy pub. The pub on the other side of that roundabout - The Half Moon - has just been refurbished and reopened. Maybe there?

OK, lets go for the Half Moon - 19:30 to 20:00 hrs?
Do they do grub? I may go straight from my office, so need to consider my stomach (although Carol reckons I could go for several months without any food!!)
I will let Dave know - anybody else going to join us? New announcement?

Sorry I missed this meet, but my finances wouldn't have stretched to traveling that way twice in a week. As Shaftsbury is on my way on Thursday you can definitly count on my presence (now would be a good time to plan an alternative venue for the rest of you )

Will be pleased to see you Thursday - I can pass on the 2 waitresses I stole from the B & R S for you. ;D

Alistair....thats very naughty behaviour!!! By the way, the address for Thursday is on the Pie and Pint thread...and yes, I believe they do fairly decent food.
