The club normally has a Summer BBQ at Richard’s place around now but with that very
nice facility now “gone” Dave Gibson has booked a BBQ, the Back Garden and Back
Room at the Thanes Head Pub (the one we use for the Sunday Crew Christmas Bash)
that’s just the other side of Kemble for Sunday the 17th August.
It will be a 12:30 hours start with three ways to get to the pub:-
1. Leave at 09:00 hours from the Town Hall as usual to do the normal Sunday
Ride and get to the Thames Head just after midday
2. Leave at 11:00 hours from the Foresters Pub and ride direct to the Thames
Head – it’s about the same distance as riding to Greasy Joes.
3. Come out in any other form of transport at your leisure.
We have just the hire of the BBQ, Garden and Room so you have to bring along
the stuff you want cooked, there will be essential things such as rolls, salad
and a few other bits and pieces provided. Vast quantities of alcoholic drinks
can be purchased from the Bar.
The Thames Head Inn is located on Tetbury - Cirencester
road Cirencester end, they also have a web site
http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk
We can have use of there function room if the weather is against us also.
