So there are a few places I know of/ have heard of around the Midlands

The button factory Birmingham has an outdoor heated terrace though the menu looks limited especially if there are vegans attending Menus : The Button Factory

The Marquis Wellington Leicester (approx 5 min walk from the station). Don't think it's heated, would have to check as I haven't been since our works do in the summer but I know it's possible to reserve tables in the garden

Canalhouse Nottingham Canalhouse | Castle Rock Brewery

I have friends and colleagues that live in Nottingham and Derby so can probably get some good suggestions there. Leicester city centre is very limited on outdoor space for eating/drinking for some reason.

But let's cut to the real important bit... Can we pick somewhere @Flutterby can attend with the Wawa's :))
What are the Wawa's? Have I somehow missed something somewhere? 😁
 
I can get to Manchester easily and The Wharf looks like a good option.
I can also get to Birmingham easily if a suitable venue can be found.
There is no reason why smaller meets in other places can’t be arranged like the ones we used to do in Salisbury.
If memory serves a forum meet needs to be done through the Anniversary Herd, or in liaison with the Herd so that we can maintain our good practices regarding safeguarding which is so important for our reputation.
 
Any venue for a meet will need to be within easy walking distance from mainline train stations/ bus stations.

We usually do several meets during the year spread between different locations in order to make it easier for members to attend one that is at a reasonable distance.

What would you say is easy walking distance? The Canal House in Brum is 12 minutes walk (half a mile) from New Street Station according to Goggle Mops.
 
Anyone down south interested in a Meet in Salisbury? We usually meet in The Kings Head which is a short walk from the Train Station. It has an outside area.
I would consider coming down for this and staying overnight as i have never visited Salisbury.
 
I'll travel anywhere, love a road trip :)

Dog friendly pubs? Kidding. Though Koda did love meeting some people at the last event we attended!
 
From all the posts on this thread it looks like we will need to organise a few meets this year and next year to cover as many areas as we can. Great to see so much enthusiasm.
I'll try and get to them all. It will be lovely to see some familiar faces and also meet some new forum members.xx
