Welcome from Mel and Rob

Hi everyone! We are delighted to be taking over the Reading munch now that kitty is leaving us for a while - we send her our very best wishes.

Our aim is to stick with the 16th of every month (just as before) unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Please do check the website before coming along in case of any last minute alterations. Just to be difficult, we have settled on the 23rd May for the next meet and we hope to see as many of you there as possible...

Kind regards,
Mel & Rob

Directions & Parking

We meet on the second Wednesday of the month in The Purple Turtle, 9 Gun St, Reading, Berkshire RG1 2JR.




Parking is available at the Oracle, but let us know if you find better parking locations nearby.


And the last Monday of the month in The Outlook, 76-78 Kings Rd
Reading, Berkshire RG1 3BJ.




The pub is on the King's Road, on the town centre side of the Kennet & Avon canal. On the opposite side you will find the Queen's Road multi-storey car park, accessible from the A329. Other parking options include The Oracle and the railway station. You can also park on the street right outside the pub if you are lucky.

In both cases, people sometimes start arriving from 7pm, it's busy by 8pm.

Dress Code & Behaviour

Although we do now book our regular area of the pub if we can, the pub staff are not aware of our inclinations. Please dress in street/casual clothes and be discreet.
