Wondering if there's any Leica Users' Group in Oxford, or if Leica users would be interested to meet.

andybarton · February 23rd, 2008, 01:04 AM

I fancy a trip to Oxford.

When would you be planning?

earleygallery · February 23rd, 2008, 06:40 PM

As Kevin Costner was told in Field of Dreams, "if you build it they will come"

Set a date, time, venue and job's a gud 'un.

leica007 · February 23rd, 2008, 07:03 PM

thanks to both of you. let's see how many people would like to visit Oxford and accordingly we will set a date either in early March or late April, because the Colleges - where the pretty sights are hidden from the streets - will remain open.

robert_parker · February 24th, 2008, 03:11 AM

Sounds like fun !!

andybarton · February 24th, 2008, 08:59 AM

Early March is too soon.

cocker · February 24th, 2008, 10:40 AM

I be up for it but as Andy says March is too soon for me. April May time is better.

That timing is fine for me too.

topoxforddoc · February 24th, 2008, 08:55 PM

I'll come too if the date's ok. I'm only 40 miles west of Oxford in Cheltenham.

bill · February 24th, 2008, 09:22 PM

Yes, possibly. Suggest something in the April-May time frame as already suggested.

Regards,

Bill

Mark Pope · February 24th, 2008, 09:38 PM

I'd love to come - March isn't good for me and neither are the first couple of weeks of April (off to celebrate my birthday on Dartmoor

)

stunsworth · February 24th, 2008, 10:35 PM

Late April, early May would be ok for me.

andybarton · February 24th, 2008, 11:31 PM

I'll arrange a charabang from Knutsford

woodda · February 27th, 2008, 01:10 AM

count me in

farnz · February 27th, 2008, 01:15 AM

Me too!

Pete.

(I'll be in Holland in mid-April so after 20th would suit me.)

leica007 · February 27th, 2008, 03:20 PM

Good response so far; I am delighted. We should plan for early May.

haha, i used to go to Rendcomb Coll, that tiny school located between Cheltenham and Cirencester!! Now I live in Loughborough for uni...

Anytime before mid May is fine for me (except early April)!

Hi,
Yes Oxford on a Saturday or Sunday would be good for me (from Swindon) late April/May if the weather is good. There is a very old pub in the centre of Oxford called the Turf Tavern not far from Blackwells book shop and the round concert hall with Gargoils on the edge. You have to duck down a back alleyway to find the pub which has a range of ales.
Keep me in the loop.
Regards, Lincoln

gravastar · March 26th, 2008, 11:27 AM

April/May would be good for me as well. There's an excellent cross country bus service from where I live near Cambridge to Oxford that runs every 30 mins.

I've never been to Oxford so that would be a first.

Harry Potter locations? BBC - Oxford - Harry Potter , Harry Potter in Oxford

Bob.

If you go to the Turf with a crested neck tie on, then they may chop it off in return for a pint!. They collect ties from army regiments, clubs etc. If they see yours and they don't have it, then snip, snip!
