Party Location

I've marked the location on this handy Google Map.
Parking is available on site - the entrance is on Berkshire Drive, just down from the main road.
If you have trouble accessing the map, or want more travel directions, email me or add a comment to this blog entry.

BnB Info

Some places that aren't far away from the venue, but will involve a taxi ride, are:

• The Calcot Hotel - we used this for our wedding, serviceable, friendly, big breakfast!
• The Old Lamb Hotel - hah!! This used to be a pub, oft-frequented by me and mates, as school was down the road
• Amherst Guest House - more towards the centre of Reading - the Nags Head also on Russell St serves a great pint for Sunday lunch!
• The ubiquitous Travelodge! - again, on the way into town, usual sub-corporate facilities
• Firtrees Guest House, 2 Cotswold Way, Tilehurst, Reading, RG31 6SH; T 0118-941 3286 - in the 'burbs, about 5 mins by taxi!

Of course, t'interweb will provide lots of options, boutique hotels, super corp blowouts, working mens' retreats etc... If you want some advice for a specific place, drop me a line or comment on the blog.

The Invite

I really meant to do this 10 years ago, but I didn't. However, after four family weddings in the last 18 months, and having greatly enjoyed my own wedding and party, I thought a 60th birthday for my friends, with some food and music, would be a Good Plan....

You are cordially invited to my 60th birthday party, on Saturday 20th September, 2014, 19.00-23.30, at St Joseph's Church Hall, Berkshire Dr, Reading, Berkshire RG31 5JJ. Please bring some food and drink to share, kids are very welcome.

Please let me know if you're coming, obviously any questions, email me or call me (07748 707984). If you are coming far and want to stay over, let me know, if there's space you can sleep over or I can suggest some local hotels or BnBs.

Finally, if you play an instrument or sing, let me know and we'll arrange for you to strut your stuff - looking forward to this! We'll get material organised and give it a go...

Thanks, see you soon
