Yes there was a D bus that leaves every 10 mins and stops outside the pub but I think it may have been replaced by the E. Either way it’s a case of hop on outside station and hop off literally into the bank house door!

Thanks
 
I met "Eddie the Eagle" when I was working in Cheltenham. Please enjoy everyone who goes ! 😎
 
Ah he still lives nearby now! You’re too far away to join us now are you?
 
We where up early & walking to the ctr of Cheltenham about 7.30. Two mornings in a row & we seen Eddie putting his ladders on his van, we helped him & then we realized who it was. He was a plasterer by trade. A good bloke 😉. The Gold Cup was on at the time & the place was full of the Irish (mad):D. To be sure its a drive for me but I am into a challenge. If I had known earlier I would have got myself organised

@Robin @Flower @Edgar @Bloden and anyone else Ive missed. Table us booked upstairs in Bank House so we can get a quieter table away from the bar. There is no lift: if anyone is unable to use stairs please say here or message me and I’ll change it to suit. Thanks 🙂
 
No problem with that for us,if you could get a table number that would be useful or I could text you when we get to Cheltenham. I have Sally's number but if you could give me yours (in conversations) that would help.
 
Table is booked 12pm. I will text that Edgar but it’s booked in name of Sally so just go upstairs. I will be there early
 
Anyone coming by train, the buses to town leave the station forecourt immediately as you exit the station. The buses stop in Clarence Street where The Bank House pub is.

Anyone else who would like to join us please do. I've always had a really enjoyable time meeting fellow forum members 🙂.

Table is now downstairs and booked in the name of Sally
 
Good to meet everyone in Cheltenham today, hope you all have a safe journey home and didn't buy up the entire stock in Hotel Chocolat! I had a clear run home, and have revised my opinion of Cheltenham always being one massive traffic jam!
 
Nice to meet everyone yesterday, lovely lunch and lively conversation. Did a bit of shopping afterwards, but had a nightmare of a journey home. We were at the station intending to catch the 16.10 train, but because of a signalling fault, we were kept waiting till after 6pm when we were shunted to Gloucester where we had to wait again, then we were told we would be going to Bristol TM, where buses would take us to Newport and Cardiff, eventually we got to Bristol Parkway, where an inspector told us there MAY be a bus service to Newport and Cardiff and we would have to stay on till TM. However almost immediately, he told everyone to get of at Parkway, where we had to wait for the train from Manchester to arrive to be coupled to our train. Then we made the very slow journey to Newport and then an even slower journey to Cardiff and we eventually walked in the front door at 8:30pm! The number of people waiting at Cardiff was phenomenal. It was almost impossible to leave the train. Look forward to arranging the next meet up in Cardifff!!!!
 
Nice to meet you all yesterday.
So sorry to learn your journey home yesterday was so stressful Edgar!

Robin. I usually travel through Chelternham on my way to and fro from Lands End to Bedfordshire and I have always managed to wiz straight through, very little traffic to A40 Oxford. Never a problem, but I have to confess its always been between 2 to 3 am at night/morning!🙂
