Weybiza DFW Meet 1st/2nd August

Burlesque_Babe

ok, I've just checked the weather and it seems Saturday will be wet and Sunday will be dry.

As it's only 48 hours away - I think we need a plan!

So, here's my thoughts - please feel free to disagree/tweak etc!!

Saturday: Those in Weymouth on Saturday - meet on the beach near to the clock tower from 2.30pm. I say 'from' because I know everyone is arriving at different times. If it's nice, we can be on the beach or along the front somewhere. As the beach is a bit bigger than a table in a pub whichis the normal meet, it isn't going to be easy to pick people out, so I think if everyone can swap numbers with a few others at least people can shout if they are at the clock tower in the afternoon and there is nobody nearby.

If it is wet, we need a child friendly pub near to the train station/clock tower My knowledge of Weymouth isn't good and although I've found lots of pubs here (with some such as the Dolphin very near the station and with excellent reviews), I don't know which are child friendly - do all pubs allow children in the day now?

So, if anyone knows of a Weymouth pub near the station/beach which is good and welcoming to all - time to shout!

Sunday: either the beach if the sun is out, or Weymouth harbour Again, I don't know the pubs, but maybe we meet at the King's Arms from 1pm (?) where we can either stay in the pub, go for a walk along the harbour, go into Brewer's Quay (shopping - small crafty/candle/handmade soap type shops)


Please all start shouting yea, nay or how about this or that - otherwise we'll all be arriving and not knowing where to go!!

Or something else completely?

Hey top work BB. Im coming on the Saturday with Jack so meeting on the beach sounds good to me. Not sure if Im driving or training it. But I have been told I must take Jack if Im going

Jack will have a whale of a time Lenny Train is excellent for the beach as the station is end of the line and just next to the clock tower/prom.

Roger landmark BB, thanks

Actually, should we all descend upon Sally's shop and say hello?

Now, trains from Pompey take about 2 hours 15 minutes with 1 change. Thats a long time for 70 miles. So I think Im gonna come in the car which means I can have 1 beer I suppose.

Like I said Len...it will take you probably an hour on a saturday to get from Dorchester to Weymouth so the train will probably be quicker

PLan sound fine, I will arrive with DD in tow around 5:30 on the saturday if anyone is still around. Sunday I will be on my own as DD has a party/day out to go to but I shall be leaving at around 2pm as I have to get back to pick her up. If its reasonable on Saturday I can bring a portable BBQ down and we could possibly have it on the beach??

If it is raining I would suggest this place as it has an indoor play area for the kids to run riot in

SOunds good Sall. Bringing your BBQ down sounds good perhaps if I come in the car I could bring some frozen meat? Mind you BB is probably the best for menu compilation. Lol at having it on the beach
