So when and where in Devon is best for a pub meet?

Post by DaveH »

The last two recent attempts at a pub meet have failed, so I thought before having another go it might be a good idea to try to get some sense of what would suit people best #-o

So ... please pick your choices from the poll and comment away below - you can choose as many as you want. I will then have another go at proposing a meet or two around the more popular choices :-ss

(apologies ... the poll only allows a max of 15 choices so we'll have to do separate ones if Cornish and Somerset folk would like a similar vote)

I don't see Chard on that list... :)):

Being pretty central between Devon, Somerset & Dorset makes it an ideal place for the east of the southwest.

I suppose the 'Honiton and East of Exeter' option would cover that.

To be honest, historically, anywhere outside of Exeter has struggled to gain attendance outside of warmer riding weather.

Odd events have been held in Taunton, Barnstaple, Newton Abbot, sampford peverell over the years, but unless done as a ride out attendance has never matched the Exeter venues.

I would love to be proven wrong ...... And MotoGP must be back soon?

You know me so well =:) Though maybe summer when it's not too dark to see what I'm doing when I stop on the way :-?
Certainly nothing to do with that quaint notion of work :mrgreen:
