Following the success of the Birmingham meet there is another planned for Salisbury on 21st April.
If you can get there please come.
Anyone coming by train a lift can be arranged from Swindon as it may be easier to get to than Salisbury.
I have 2 spaces left in my car - 3 if you snuggle up.
Come and join the fun and meet Guinea Pig friends.

Wow, that’s an amazing offer, I hope some will take you up on it. I would have but I’ve already got my tickets. I just did a quick check and the tickets came back as £21 to Swindon from Birmingham and 90 mins less! :yikes: I’ll know better next time :doh: :))

Sorry Tim
I would have offered sooner if I’d thought about it before @Gem789 wanted to come

Yup! Sorry guys, not gonna make the Salisbury one this time x
 
I'm not sure if I'm driving or going by train, if i go by train it'll be either the 11.16 or 12.16 train i get there on. (train only about £10 for me - probably cheaper than driving & finding a parking space/ticket!) it'll take me about an hour whichever i go by - so i've not made up my mind yet.

If you drive then use the park and ride. Can't remember how much the ticket is - £2.80 I think. It's about 10 mins into the centre.

oh but of course :hug:

not sure where you're parking @Merab's Slave but if I've read it properly it looks like it's £2.10 for the Salisbury station car park on a Saturday. be easier to meet/park up from there? Any good do you think? look under the top drop down menu of "Getting to & from the station"

I usually go to Old Sarum Park and Ride - it's easier for me than driving into the city and doesn't take long on the bus.
I'll be coming from Swindon after picking up Gemma - depending on her train we should get to Salisbury around 11:00 - 11:30ish
 
Probably depends on the time. My plan is to come to the station but if we're later might go straight to the pub.
When I know what time Gemma's train gets in I'll have a better idea of what time we should get to Salisbury.
Also depends on whether anyone else is going early enough to bag table.

if i try & get there about 11.15 i'll come find you & maybe we can bagsy the table for the others quite early? not sure if i'm by car or train, but planning on parking at the station if i do drive, if the station car park is full there's another car park with toilets about 10mins walk away, so i could pick you, Bert & Doris up park there & walk to the pub together & bagsy the table :yahoo:

not sure i can cope with catching buses from the city, i'll be able to go back to the station with others if i walk or drive to station (thats if i find the station by driving, haven't driven there for about 15yrs at least... and i'm a pants driver with no co-ordination/sense of direction) should be interesting anyway! lol!

Sounds good to me! Let me know as we have to have someone at the station for meet and greet. Heather and I will need to sort it out I suspect @Merab's Slave
 
Sorry guys, I just can’t make this one. Would have loved to but trains etc just don’t work out for me.

Does coming into Swindon make it easier?
I’m picking Gemma up there and have room in the car.
It’s a bit of a trek from Cheshire though but thought I’d offer

I know what you mean, I guess I was lucky! My railcard helps a lot ;) Sorry you can’t make it, but you’ll have the pleasure of my company at another event very soon! :D
