January 6, 20251 yr @Jeremyw @G and J @olley @LSB @zzPaulzz @DIYHacker @GaryChaplin @Nick Laslett @JohnnyB @marshian @FuerteStu Anyone interested in a Suffolk meet-up? I'm thinking maybe 1st Thursday of the month at a pub somewhere in the 'centre'. If you are, let me know your post code prefix so I can figure where the 'middle' is? We're living in IP6 and our plot is in IP17.
January 6, 20251 yr I have a monthly club meet 2nd Wednesday of every month so I think most months I would be OK and not have two meetings in same week IP24 so Breckland Area (ie I'm Suffolk/Norfolk boundary)
January 6, 20251 yr Good idea. We live in IP6 but our plot is the wrong side of the tracks in IP12. :-0
January 7, 20251 yr Author OK by great algorithmic genius (hmmm) ... using 1 star for 'living in', 1 for 'building in', 2 if you've only specified one place, I have this at present. So, anyone suggest a good pub in, say, IP14? Kings Arms in Haughley? The Bull in Bacton?
January 7, 20251 yr Suggestion "Crown" at Stowupland (Just outside Stowmarket) Close to A14 been a while since I've been there but it still seems to get good reviews (Dog Friendly too)
January 7, 20251 yr NR34 for me.. But I have 3 kids and still have rooms to complete. Be a while before I could even think about a social life 😂😂

January 7, 20251 yr I meet with a group of "Car Guys" under the umbrella of Norfolk Mountain Rescue Club I think that sometimes people think we actually do mountain rescues - I have to explain that Norfolk is well flat (unless you are on a push bike) It's just an opportunity to share tools, knowledge and occasionally we have been known to hold a spanner party

January 8, 20251 yr Our quiz name was "Cupid Stunts" or "Siri what time is it" The second one was great for finding the cheaters In the pub using their phones..

January 10, 20251 yr Author OK updated map with LSB, so somewhere close to the stars in IP14? @Nick Laslett - since you know those 3 pubs , which one would you choose? Feb Thurs 6th, 7pm-ish?

Feb Thurs 6th, 7pm-ish? I don’t have a strong opinion, happy with all of them, but for the sake of making a decision, I would say The Crown in Stowupland, mainly because I haven’t been there the most recently, so will make a change.
January 10, 20251 yr The Crown at Stowupland, 19:00, 6/2/25 is in my diary. You’ll recognise me by the worried look underneath my shiny, bald head. Or perhaps we should all wear hi vis lol
