h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, there's lots to see and do if we want. How about Gosport? I remember walking to the Submarine museum there once one day - that was fun.

All the way from Southampton?

Funny you should mention the submarine museum - my parents went the other day.

well if it's a nice day I'd rather stay outside in the sunshine, lets review the merits of the crazy golf course by the fair !!!

Good idea. I think we should write an extremely long and detailed synopsis of the crazy golf course for the Guide, with hole by hole guides to technique, difficulty and enjoyment.

lets just hope that there is no time limit for the course !!!!! and someone doesn't mind going to the pub to get the refreshments !

Fine by me so long as you don't expect me to bring any back

*writes note in girlie diary..... don't trust Cakewalker with beer money*

Oh, you can trust me with the money, just not with the beer

so I end up poorer and sober........ I don't like that much.... not fair

*lol* OK. I'll be good

Shall we set some kind of date?

I work during the week so a weekend would be best for me. Not the weekend of the 13th 'cos that's the London meet up!

There's a bank holiday weekend at the end of this month. I haven't got anything planned.

Right. I'm going to start a new thread here, because I'm fed up scrolling the left hand pane miles to the side to see what's going on.

Date. Yes, we should have a date. I'm happy with virtually any date, bearing in mind that I have to work Saturdays and Bank Holidays (I work for Ladbrokes, see the entry at http://www.h2g2.com/A168482 ) but evenings are nice. (Although I could always turn up late).

As previously stated, avoid the weekend of the 13/14th as thats the london meeting for those folk who want to go there. The following weekend may be a bit too close, but the following two weekends are fine. (Once we hit June, the dreaded 18-in-a-row Sunday racing starts... ugh!)

So, if people would like to list days they CANT make, we'll pick on that in theory people should be able to turn up atleast somewhere...

Early May or late June are best for me. Early June may be OK, though I'm not sure (and won't be until next week), while late May is definitely not possible - I have my final exhibition to work up to.

So what's been decided then ??........ *girlie confused state here*
and who's gonna be coming out to play ???

hmmmm another option has come to mind....... how's about changing the venue from Crazy golf to a night out at the Greyhounds??

NOW you're talking.

(I could take the night bets placed at my shop with me, and settle them on-course..
Not to mention getting some inside information from some of the owners who frequent
my shop..)

(Can't make Tuesday or Friday nights though)

They do a 'Super Six' if you book in advance for parties of six or more, which comprises admission, racecard, two drinks, something greasy with chips, and a free jackpot bet. This used to be six pounds, but I think it went up slightly.

Normal cost of admission is three pounds I think.

yeah it's £7.50 now which is still pretty good value !!!
shall we leave it open to the others to comment?????

Just how late is it, as we'll have to find out about when the last train is.
Late June sounds good - who has a calendar?

OK, my comment - I'd be more inclined to a pub garden than the greyhound stadium, though I also have to mention that I won't really be free until mid-June for anything, which is probably too late for other people (just at the moment these various get-togethers have caught anyone who's at Uni in exam time).

Symlpost

If it is late June that's being discussed, then that's even better for me. Also, if it does go on late, perhaps the people from out of town might be found somewhere to kip for the night?
