It's interesting mainly because it is like a blast from the past, a pub that has not changed in decades. Serves from barrels at the back of the bar, cheap food (max £4-ish). And it's in the Good Beer Guide 2008.

Looks like you could be volunteering as chief organiser again Geoff

Hope you guys are ok, not heard from you in a while

I did ask about stopping overnight at that pub a few months ago, the landlord was 'Non-commital'.
Great pub, and well worth checking for a definate date, and would he do all day, or would we be looking at an evening meet?

"If we have enough people i could organize my favourite party Trick of a Lamb/pig roast, Its a cheap way of cooking for a group of people are we organizing a swindon bongo bash hehehe ....Ncik
Mmm food always a good way to tempt people ..... is anyone else interested in joining us here in sunny wiltshire?
I'm thinking 1st or 2nd week of October?
Once I have a general idea of numbers I'll source somewhere suitable to camp (think I already have this sorted, just need to finalise some details!), bbq the kids (for those of us that have some!) and partake in some flavoured liquid with the potential of enducing a moderately numb head and limiting the use of limbs![/quote]

This Post has followed on from a thread 'Swindon to ....(somewhere, I can't pronounce, or spell) he he
Ok, good idea thanks Kirsty, I've cut n paste (I'm sure there is an easier way?!!)

1st or 2nd week of October is good for me - and the closer to Swindon the better.
Looking forward to a BBQ with kids - is that instead of steak, sausages and burgers then?
