LA/OC group meeting October 20

We had the best turnout for our meeting yesterday at 8 people. Time flew by as we chatted away for almost 4 hours! We also celebrated Tim’s birthday with an assortment of chocolate cake slices. They didn’t have his favorite Black Forest cake so we had to improvise. A big shout out also to his beautiful wife, Maria, who we finally got to meet. She is truly lovely inside and out. We also welcomed new members, Laura, Linda and Chris and hope you join us again! The restaurant Anita chose, Alcove, was perfect! It was a gorgeous day and the food delicious as we sat outside shaded by big umbrellas and trees. Tim was a good sport as his backrest was a bush but not a complaint from our dude!

We talked about England (great Paul McCartney stories, Laura and Linda) so much that we thought our next meeting should be something British so we are going to the Rose and Crown Pub in Santa Clarita. Time TBD but will most likely be dinner...so please, come and visit with us!

We’re meeting at 4pm. Please let me know by PM or posting if you can come so we can make sure we save a spot. We also decided to skip November’s meeting and will meet in early December before the holiday craziness starts.

This is a really accessible location for the Ventura County and San Fernando Valley crowd. Heck, just a little over an hour for those in Santa Barbara (if there's no traffic . . .I know, fat chance).

The Rose and Crown in Santa Clarita is family owned and run. The proprietor hails from Liverpool. They are delighted to be hosting us, no matter how many show up. A-1 grub and suds, and they have a full bar. I

If you like talking travel and enjoying a good meal, please come. We're a friendly bunch.

Not only is the sticky toffee pudding the bomb, but their seasonal Harvest Pasties are part of their killer cuisine. And there's no shortage of beer and ale . . .heck, they even have something that comes in bottles that's made from grapes.
