Opinions on this as a meet in S/W?

Phil · 12th October 2010, 18:33

Hi everybody, I am totally new to this meet arranging etc, so bear with me!
How does this sound as an idea for a meet?
http://www.eastsomersetrailway.com/
I have never been there before but looks nice on the website. Has anyone ever been there? Anyway, depending on numbers perhaps meet there for the morning and perhaps have a meal in a pub somewhere after? This is only an idea at this stage to gauge interest, if it doesn't appeal to you then please say or I won't know for next time!

Hi Phil You never know, what I know of Shepton Mallet from my service days was that there was a Glass house there (military prison) and no before you ask

Hi Tony, yes that is nice. It probably has more potential than the ESR I would think.

It would be great to see you Derek!! I don't know if that prison is still there.
I will have to look it up as a prison called a glass house doesn't sound very secure!

No I dont think it is the only one that I know about now is at Colchester When I worked for the army I had to go into the one in Aldershot a very frightening place very glad to get out of there

Does this sort of venue appeal to you all?
That is two preferentials for WSR as opposed to ESR and I think I am probably inclined to agree.
