Here is an invite from Jo for the next get together.

Hello everyone, 

I hope you are all doing okay ish. It was great at the Jan get together to welcome 3 new people. 

At the Jan meet up we discussed a plan for 2014! We decided that we would change the regular pub meet up to a Monday evening instead of a Tuesday. This wont start until May 19th. March will be on the Tuesday 18th. I know this may not suit everyone but we give it ago. We also decided to change the venue. We will now meet at The Longwall (Beefeater) Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2JZ. We will also give this ago and if it doesn’t work then we can think again.

The plan for the February get together is to go for a meal at The Prince of Wales 60 Barrow Road, Shippon (near Abingdon) OX13 6JQ. All the family, friends and dogs are very welcome . This will either be Saturday 22nd or Sunday 23rd at lunch time. If you can please let me know whether you can make it and which day suits you best as soon as possible so I can let the pub know.
Take care. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Jo xx
