306oc Christmas & 1st Birthday Meet - 01/12/12 - Reading

[Niall]

Im not gonna complain too much about Reading as its not too far from me and if the worst comes to it I can get a train straight from Hayes for free.

BUT

Its still too close to London and is quite an affluent area and so the prices of drinks are pretty expensive compared to what you'd pay in Coventry or Bristol.

Its full of bus lanes, traffic cameras, big pot holes and worst of all MOUNTAINOUS speed humps! only 3 times in my life have I had to turn around and go a different way because of speed humps and 2 of those were in Reading. Its generally not a very car friendly place as its full of the environmentalist lot (though not as bad as oxford).

Its a right pain in the arse to get to from the north, the only real north/south motorway links either meet the M25 at London or its the M5 that passes Bristol and both of those are a fair old way from Reading.




Personally I think somewhere around the Bristol / Gloucester area would be good but somewhere different in the midlands could also be good. As a club we could probably organise Santa Pod or Mallory Park or something.

2 things
firstly, reading is easy to get to
secondly, weve established probably 70% of members are in the south or midlands....looking at a map, reading is pretty central.

I know you dont like the idea of reading chris and fair enough not everyone will be happy. if everyone says its a poor location, fair enough. if not, it will be there!

Edit: oh and i dont think a track is the best idea. Its december. the weather probably wont be brillaint and as ive said, its not really about the cars...its more the people and having a laugh and drinking too much...and laughing at number plates with CUM in them like we did last year!
