I live in eastleigh too! i wonder i have ever met your daughter lol
 
I'm about 90% sure I can come. My boss is being really funny about it and said I can't request any more time off until after July 26th...by which time she'll have done the rota for that weekend. Oh well, I've told her I want it so I'll swap it if I need to. Hopefully she'll be okay with it though!
 
Tom, you best come :D

right, here it goes:

12 midday at the standing order. I'm hoping to be there a little earlier incase people need directions etc. But if enough people want to then we can always arrange meeting at the bargate? I reckon that later on in the afternoon we could move on to a few favourites of mine in the older part of southampton - The Red Lion and The Duke of Wellington but that's up to you guys.

I'm hoping there will be a few folks from circle d there too :D

It's just a few weeks away, so if you could let me know you're definitely coming that would be grand. I can then start handing out my phone number for those who get hopelessly lost 😱:D
 
Im coming :D

Just looked at the train times my train gets into southampton central at 11:17am would i be able to meet someone pleaseeees :D i dont like walking around on my own to a place where there will be people i dont know!

LOL i know im silly hehe bit its like when u walk into a crowded pub on your own and everyone looks! 😱

look for the big massive stone archway in the town centre, walk through it, keep going and its the weatherspoons on the left

I'm rubbish with directions XD
 
Is the train station in the town centre then? I'm quite happy to find my own way, I have a half decent sense of direction plus I'm good at reading maps, so long as I know where I'm aiming for!!

It's about 10-15min walk from the train station. I'll meet you if you like, will make it easier!

That's fab!! I'm reckoning on reaching the pub by about 11-12ish - there will probably be a balloon to mark the spot :D

If anyone is getting in at the station and wants to meet then I will happily swing by - seeing as how I walk right past the station to get to town :D
