Alan Ambrose Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshian Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ambrose Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshian Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshian Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

G and J Posted Friday at 23:57 Share Posted Friday at 23:57 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
