So, since we seem to have stumbled a bit recently on forum meets, let's hope that we can get a few for the first Southampton Meet for 4 years!

Date: 17th August 2013
Time: from 11 am

Venue: The Standing Order

30 The High Street
Southampton
Hampshire
SO14 2DF

The pub is just inside the Old Town, through the Bargate:

I checked the football fixtures and Southampton are away to West Brom in the first game of the season.

If people would like at some point we could do a tour of the medieval City Walls (involves a bit of step climbing). All the shops are very close at hand, the main attraction being West Quay shopping centre.

Let me know if you are coming! 🙂

Good to hear Ant 🙂 If no-one else comes we can go rhino spotting! 🙂
 
Ooh I may actually be able to come! I'm at my mums not a million miles away for a few days that weekend 🙂
 
Lost on this thread. Whats happened. Thought we were meeting Brighton. Been researching places to stay and trains there ?!
 
There wasn't enough interest Mossey, so the location changed to try and attract a few more.

Sorry Mossey, had to cancel Brighton due to the fact that only me and jalapino had signed up for it, and since we live fairly near to each other it seemed silly to go all the way to Brighton. Also, there have been requests in the past for a Hampshire Meet (although no-one actually seems to want to come!) We need to know some time in advance so that people who have a distance to travel can take advantage of cheaper train fares. Southampton is easy to get to from London though, it might just take a bit longer. 🙂
 
See you there then :D. Might stay over for some photography Can you recommend anywhere cheap nearby🙂

Well, it would depend on what sort of place you want to stay in and what you want to do. I'd suggest having a look at Laterooms and seeing what you think might suit, then I could tell you what I think of the area. As I live here I haven't actually stayed in any hotels here! 🙂

You might also want to consider somewhere in the New Forest, or Bournemouth is just along the coast 🙂
 
This time I will make it !
I have to tell you all about me LC diet and my Hba1c 6.5 % , in old money .
See you there .
