Down South Meet!

Hi all,
If you're along the M4 corridor, then you're welcome! If you can get to the M4, then you're welcome! If you've
heard of the M4, then you're welcome!
This meeting's mostly aimed at the people from Berkshire and the surrounding counties, but to be fair, we're around an hour from both London and from Bristol. In fact, we're about halfway between the two.
At the halfway point between London and Bristol, on the A4 (the original route between the two) is a pub called
The Halfway Inn. It does some reasonable beers, and some good (and rather plentiful) food. This is our (provisional) meeting place.
Now.. when do we want to do this?

I should be able to make one depending if I'm in the country with the job or not. Thursday night is a good one.
Oh the halfway house. Yes I know it heading into Hungerford from Newbury.

Could be up for this too. Coming over from Bristol shouldn't be a problem depending on date / time. Cheers, Pete.

Just in case any one doesnt know this road (A4) is a popular and good and safe drive for bikers and cars alike especially at weekends. Long and wide sweeping bends etc I can also say that at present there are no (static) cameras on route between Marlbrough and Newbury as far as I know (untill you get to Speen in Newbury). Occasionally a sneaker F***er turns up in his van but fairly rare. I'll keep you updated.
rik could do a weekend sat pm or sun if the masses were up for that. Good spot to meet.

I'm booked every weekend in November, making damascus steel, and I'm booked up the first two wednesdays. Anyone else care to add more constraints, so we can narrow it down to some day?
