Re: Reading Away Sat 28 Jan

=13pxEveryone seems to like the Pub we normally use for this match, so shall we go for the same again? It’s the Fox and Hounds in Caversham:
=13px 
http://foxandhoundscaversham.co.uk/
=13px 
=13pxThey run a bus from there to the stadium at 2.15, returning after the game, via the train station. Cost of a round trip is £5. Last year they let us take a pint onto the bus for the journey to the stadium! Unlike previous years, they will be serving food at lunchtime, but it is just pizzas, ranging from £5-£12.
=13px 
=13pxDirections:
=13px 
=13pxWalking is probably just over 10 minutes. A taxi would take 5 minutes and cost about £6.
=13px 
=13pxTo walk:
=13px =13px 
=13pxTake the rear (new) exit from Reading station, signposted North Reading/Caversham.(There is a taxi rank here if you are planning on taking a taxi)
=13pxWalk to the dual carriageway, and cross over straight away at the pedestrian lights (you will be heading directly towards Sovereign House).
=13pxOnce you have crossed the road, straight ahead is a little service road between Sovereign House and the Covea building (I think it is called Norman Place). Take this and you will come to the river in about a minute.
=13pxTurn to your left and cross the pedestrian bridge.
=13pxOnce you have crossed the bridge, the path splits three ways – take the path straight on, walking away from the river, heading for a rectangular blue bin (!) about 300 yards ahead. You will pass a red brick pavilion on your right, with a green turret. Once you have passed the bin, you will pass what was a football pitch, but the last time I passed the posts had been removed,  and then emerge onto a road. Turn left and the pub is shortly on your left.
=13px 
=13pxAny problems on the day call me on 07722 476 130 - NOTE THIS IS A NEW NUMBER (SINCE LAST AUGUST)
=13px 
=13pxThe Pub doesn’t open until 12, so if you get there before then and fancy a swift half the Baron Cadogan opens early. To get there, just walk past the Fox & Hounds until you come to a mini roundabout (about a minute or so’s walk). Turn right and the Baron Cadogan is on your left in half a minute. Link is here:

=13pxLook forward to seeing you all on the day!

Re: Reading Away Sat 28 Jan

Judging by the excited chatter on this topic, this is an eagerly awaited trip...
Who is coming along to the Pub beforehand - looks like Bowblue, Ramsgate, ABA (plus your usual student chums? - get out your mat and pray to the West?!), Glyn - are you training or driving and following the bus?, myself and the General. 
Any more for any more?!
Looking forward to it....
