Just to confirm that a few folks from the Stones List, the Modern Antiquarian and the Megalithic Portal are getting together for an informal picnic at Avebury from around noon on Saturday, 5 August. This is a totally informal gathering of like-minded souls so just turn up and join in (or not join in) as the whim takes you. If you want to sound off for 5 minutes or so on your favourite stony subject I'm sure no-one will mind too much.
We thought the best place for the picnic would be in the north-east sector of the Avebury circle, a little east from the two stones that form the Cove, and roughly within the red circle that you'll find at -

For those who don't know Avebury, the Cove is close to the Red Lion Pub (to which we can retreat if the weather turns bad  and about ten minutes from the Stones (vegetarian) Restaurant, museums and National Trust shop. There are a few B&B's in and around Avebury for anyone planning to stay overnight, or there's the campsite at the Barge Inn, Honey Street, Alton Barnes, which is a drive of about twenty minutes from Avebury.
If anyone has more information on local B&Bs, campsites, pubs, restaurants and other interesting places to visit in the area please feel free to post it here.

Stones restaurant disappeared many years ago Littlestone, please research your facts if you're going to organise meets.
The restaurant is now homogonised National Trust style fare like their shop opposite. Edible but so dull. (well the shop isn't edible but you know what I mean).
Stones served superb food, never mind being vegetarian, hence my tetchyness in being reminded it doesn't exist!
You can still sample some Stones through their excellent book
Stones Spells for Magic Feasts.
Cheers,
Andy

I won't be able to come as I will be in Denmark Viking Feasting at my Daughter's wedding. I'll get to one of these meets someday.
