Has the Retreat survived? I thought departure/closure was imminent on my last visit.
Jolly Anglers was dreadful, the only time I cast my net in that direction; March?
Zerodegrees doesn't sound a name that many here would aim for but, if you're holding the tour umbrella Quinno, local knowledge & all that...
i think i am away the last week in July, i just need as much notice in case i have to change work rota
MILD:
I personaly dont think a GBG listed pub is the be all and end all, Iv'e been is some bloody good ones and some decidedly average ones,Reading is an option and is very near to me ,and as a result done a fair percentage of the pubs mentioned before.Other places to consider at the southern end of things could be Winchester,Sailsbury , Portsmouth, but I do favour Brighton as a destination,a fair distance for some I agree but easily accessable from London, end of the day I dont mind where we go for a good day out but personally at the moment due to some financial constraints ,south would suit me in the near future.

Brighton is my backyard and would be a great venue for a summer PUG beano. Being selfish I'd rather go somewhere else as I've got an overnight pass and don't want to waste it because I'm only going half an hour up the road.
I used to work in Reading so would like to review some of the pubs I've not been in for ten years. I'd also like to go somewhere new like Bristol which has been mentioned. How about PUG does Wales? We could dump the south and all go to the Shetlands to get them up to 100 on pictures and reviews!

Thought I would bump this thread to see if we can get something nailed down.
Reading "around the weekend of July 13th" seems acceptable as the next PuG meet to the following
Strongers
Sheffield Hatter
Moby Duck
oldboots
Quinno
BF
ETA (possible)
Soup Dragon (advanced notice needed for work rota)
Dave M (I assume,advanced train ticket required)
Apologies if I have missed anyone
Sadly PSM and ROBCamra are unavailable,but we still have a decent number interested and a lot of " regulars" havent indicated either way as yet.
Sheffield Hatter makes a good point in the quote.As this is a southern based tour ,I wont be staying overnight and am just looking to join the main crawl.Others may wish to stay overnight and this may well drive the decision on which day to hold the tour.Either Friday 12th or Saturday July 13th are fine by me.Thoughts ?
