    Default Pubs Galore Meet Up - Friday 12 November - Birmingham

    As stated in a separate thread, we are contemplating a meet up in Birmingham on Friday 12 November. Most of us will presmably be getting there mid-morning/lunchtime and will hopefully do a few pubs around the City Centre before departing early/mid evening. Since it will involve booking days off and reserving train/coach tickets, anyone interested should make their interest known here as it doesn't seem to be worth the costs and effort if only 2 people show up. I am up for it as is Quinno and Trainman was certainly not far from signing up. Anyone else interested?

    Having suggested some well-priced train tickets on the other thread, I notice (ok, I looked it up) that Roger's coach options currently amount to just £6.50, a good deal in anyone's book. But does one take the speed* & gained drinking time for the extra tenner?
    My potential participation is currently in the lap of my sponsors...

    *of the train, not whizz

    I'll be there for at least part of the day, on my way back from Liverpool where I'll be on the Thursday.

    Cheapest train deal from London seems to be £7 - earliest 11:03 (arrive 12:27) - and back again at £7 - earliest 19:30 (arrive 20:54) - total £14.

    Anybody thinking of getting out to the Barton Arms, Aston (for building and beer) or the Bell, Harbourne (for location, mainly)?

    Barton Arms is bit of hike so get No 7 bus (Upper Bull Street) and drop off directly opposite Barton Arms.

    White Horse in Harbourne is far better with around 10 real ales on sale. It was closed for refurb on my last visit (June) but should be open by now.
