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

I fancy a trip to Oxford.

When would you be planning?

earleygallery · 02/23/08, 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 · 02/23/08, 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.

Sounds like fun !!

andybarton · 02/24/08, 08:59 AM

Early March is too soon.

cocker · 02/24/08, 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 · 02/24/08, 08:55 PM

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

bill · 02/24/08, 09:22 PM

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

Regards,

Bill

Mark Pope · 02/24/08, 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 · 02/24/08, 10:35 PM

Late April, early May would be ok for me.

andybarton · 02/24/08, 11:31 PM

I'll arrange a charabang from Knutsford

woodda · 02/27/08, 01:10 AM

count me in

farnz · 02/27/08, 01:15 AM

Me too!

Pete.

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

leica007 · 02/27/08, 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 · 03/26/08, 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!
