The Turf is here

 

turf tavern, oxford - Google Maps

 

It's down a little "alley" off Holywell Street, and not easy to find unless you know where to look

 

Any local will be able to tell you - although you may have trouble finding a local :)

 

With satellite? turf tavern, oxford - Google Maps

I'd like to come if no one minds. I know Oxford quite well but where is the Turf tavern?

 

Jeff

 

I assume this is the esteemed establishment :D

I'm hoping to make it but I'm not sure yet. I've a lot of jobs that have to be completed by Tues 13th so I'll see how it goes between now and the 10th.

I'm afraid I am going to have to pass on this one.

 

Darn it! I was banking on Andy bringing his DMR so that I could try a battery as my charger has gone on the blink and is now on holiday in Milton Keynes. Both my DMR batteries are now as flat as pancakes!

 

Never mind, my trusty old LC1, now on it's second sensor and been around the world with me twice is still going strong and with a very robust charger and two batteries. Cost a fraction of the DMR.........makes you think a bit!

 

See you all tomorrow........forecasting a scorcher of a day too. Dress attire on their web site looks good to me, just my sort of pub, not a tie in sight! (hope that they serve cider though!)

Is the meeting time at The Turf agreed to be about one o'clock for a light snack/lunch? The reason I ask is if people want to see the Ansel exhibition and play tourist :D then the time spent in the pub is likely to be short, so there's a chance that early or late arrivals would miss everyone. It would be better to specify a time window in which to meet, say 1-2pm for example.

I will try to get there at 12.30 and bag a table outside, to the left of the pub as you stand looking at the entrance - warm weather is forecast. I'll probably be wearing a navy (Oxford!) blue shirt, plus a broad smile if the beer is up to standard.

 

For the unwary, don't bother trying to park in Oxford unless you are only spending three hours there. You can park for three hours round the corner from the Turf in Mansfield Road (for £3 in the meter, I think). Otherwise you would do better to use one of the park-and-rides that are on the N, S, E, & W edges of town. They offer a regular, quick bus service into the centre.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I will be there probably nearer 1 than 2. How will I recognise anyone will you be waving a Leica flag?

I'll probably have a naked chrome/dark green M8 over my shoulder :D and a camera bag of goodies.

I'll be wearing a typically daft expression and a black baseball cap with "Leitz" in red on the front. (For those who recall a previous meet, the loincloth will be replaced by 'long trahsers'. ;) )

Thanks, I am sure I'll spot you all. Can I bring my 5D no I did not mean that LOL, if its going to be hot I would not want to be carrying it around anyway.

 

For anyone that has a bit of time to spare the Museum of the History of Science in Broad Street has some old photographic equipment in the basement displays. One of my favourite museum's but that is another story,

Given the weather forecast I would have thought that the loincloth would have been more appropriate, Pete! :D

 

Hope you all have a great day - alas I can not be with you :( .
