Hi Mags Tried to book Windsor Castle and Cliveden but no joy - summat to do with the Queen for former and Ant's McPartlands' (of Ant & Dec fame - can't remember surname spelling) maybe marriage venue for latter!!! I'm sure Wee Waif will be fine - it's the people that make a venue in my experience! If not, what numbers are we talking about and I can make some enquiries.

Thanks for that Mags, I assume that the Record Office would be open on a saturday, if so and the date suits me I will try and be there. Carolyn

Is The Wee Waif very far from Reading Record Office, as I do need to visit there this summer, and might be able to combine the two trips. Carolyn

Gwen, I was thinking the same! Looks like I could be joining you for breakfast . Mags, I know how to get to Windsor, been there, fab place, wish I knew a venue I could recommend!!

Mags - point taken, sorry didn't mean to sound picky. I've now looked at it on that pub explorer site, and it looks better than the first impression I was given from another site.

Put me down as a possible, I still haven't been to a meet yet! I'll be 'home' to UK this summer and would love to meet at least one person from GR!!!!. Don't know Charvil or Berkshire - what I do need to know is how easy it would be for me to get to, coming down the M4 from Bristol/S.West direction. Just looked up the suggested pub, Wee Waif to see that it has a 6/10 rating....can anyone convince me it's better than that!!! Karen x
