Autumn PuG Crawl to the South.

[Bucking Fastard]

Thought it worth kicking off the next crawl thread as time is marching on.

The date seems to be the first topic that needs sorting. I am all for democracy but there is an issue worth discussing.There are several of our (mainly southern) correspondents who are still plagued by work and for whom when any Friday is chosen ,they are excluded.Although there are sound reasons for choosing Fridays,I am not aware that if a Saturday is chosen there are crawlers who will be likewise excluded whatever date is chosen.There will always be certain dates that won't suit because of prior commitments but are there folk for whom a Saturday crawl will always exclude them in the same way as a Friday would ?

In the past both London crawls (8/2/14 and 25/3/17) and the Reading crawl (13/7/13) were held on a Saturday,so is there a case purely for the next Southern crawl to focus the date selection only on Saturdays ? This might also help maximise attendance.

Tin hat on awaiting incoming !!

Do the usual - throw it out for a poll. I suspect it will be useful to decide location first though as that will affect some people's availability.

Currently a Saturday would suit me better though a Friday would be doable with plenty of notice.

I am made redundant Friday 13th October. Interviews ongoing but at the moment anything after then!

[Wittenden]

My,that's inauspicious. Good luck with the search.

Which means it'll be a Friday. Because it always is.

A bit of variety wouldn't go amiss.

Friday and especially Saturday are probably the most convenient.

[Strongers]

Makes no difference to me.

[Bucking Fastard]

The Friday/Saturday discussion seems to have ground to a halt,so why don't we park that and ,as ETA suggests,discuss where in the south we would like to visit.How about any of the following:

Cardiff

Cambridge

Exeter

Bermondsey Beer Mile (Would have to be a Saturday )

Any other obvious targets that folk fancy ?

[Gann]

How about Bury St Edmunds ?

Only Joking...

Have we ever done Bath on an official PuG crawl ? Havent personally been there in a while..
