An evening in the Royal Oak
We’ve had a chat with Sailor Dave the occassional drinker, globe trotting tourist and sometime tour guide. Looking for a date next year we’ve plucked out (we’ve decided upon) May Day weekend. That’s Friday the 30th of April till Monday the 3rd. To remind you of the last trip visit -
THIS LINK (2008)
The car can take 5 + Dave driving. At present we’ve pencilled in the following names.
- Robert
- Steve
- Stuart (Our thoughts are with you)
- Adam (I know you’re on holiday in France)
- Doug
We can change the date BUT it has to be done VERY soon as Dave is going to book the accommodation in the next two or three days. (i.e. within the next 48 to 72 hours) Please therefor make observations here with haste !

A suggestion.
The half pint pub crawl
Start early – maybe leaving at 1800 ish, go to Waterloo and walk.
Train Times
Depart Sunningale : 1740 | 1758 | 1810 | 1828 | 1840
RVP: 1730 Chatts
Journey Duration : 55 minutes
Fare : £13-40
Note: At present there is a 3for2 price deal, thus multiples of 3 will save the most money
Whip: £25 each for Sunningdale leavers (this included fares, 3for2 saving will thus go into whip)
Map of suggested route:-
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3238353
This is about 5 miles, we will pass AT LEAST 6 pubs, half a pint in each … and back on the 2330 train !
Cast List: (as at 2140 hours 8/10/2009)
Adam, Doug, Steve, Stuart, Trigger

I’ve decided that I shall muse about Fridays.
Doug’s suggestion is that we go to Richmond for a drink this coming Friday.
This will mean leaving my house at 2020 hours to catch the 2043 train.
(It’s a £6-70 return fare)
