The pub crawl is being organised by Richard (Secretary of Swindon CAMRA).  There have been quite a few changes there since our last visit nearly 3 years ago.

We shall be getting the 10.58 direct train. It arrives at 11.56. If you are coming by bus (which arrives at approximately the same time) then we will meet you at the bus station. We will then get a bus to Old Town where they are a couple of new pubs and then we will work our way down the hill back to the station.

At this meeting we aim to present the costs for the various venues discussed at the first meeting and then make go / no go decision.
