Re: [Dorset] Who knows Winton? In-person meeting, Wednesday 19th June.
Hi, I would be happy to go there, but unfortunately I am ill so I shouldn't go and spread the illness. Hope any of you who do go have a good time :) Hamish On 18/06/2024 14:27, Ralph Corderoy wrote: Hi, Tim wrote: If that turns out too noisy then consider a Wetherspoons as they have no music and no noise from fruit machines. They also tend to have a lot of carpet, a unique design per pub influenced by its history or location, which absorbs noise unlike the fashionable hard floors elsewhere. Oh, and the drinks are cheap. Probably best to avoid a Tuesday or Thursday evening, Steak and Curry Club nights. Monday Club has the drinks get even cheaper; I don't know if that makes it busy. I see there's one in Winton. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/england/dorset/the-parkstone-and-heatherlands-bournemouth Looks like there's some parking nearby, off Cranmer Road, though I don't know if it's public; I'm not a local. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/50.74336/-1.87835 Anyone have comments about Ralph's suggestion of Wetherspoons Winton (quoted [above])? It will probably have a TV or two. They normally show BBC News. They'll switch to the football match but the sound will remain off. ’Spoons are normally quite big with plenty of seating away from teles so the football fans won't be competing with you for space. Who is planning to go tomorrow? (I'm in.) Not me.
