The monthly Norwich 'second thursday' evening social meet will take place tomorrow, 12th February from 8 pm.
As previously discussed, we are going to try a different venue.
The meeting will be in the 'City Gate' pub which is on Dereham road, just off the inner ring road at the junction of Grapes Hill and Barn Road.
Dereham Road is the A1074 - take the Costessey junction on the A47 if coming from west of Norwich.
Otherwise, when going clockwise around the inner ring road, Dereham road is the left turn at the traffic lights at the bottom of Grapes Hill (but see parking info below).
There is a very large Cane Furniture shop on the corner and this is probably the best landmark from either direction. The pub, which has a large glass frontage (link to picture below), is next to the cane furniture shop.
There is ample parking on the other side of the ring road off St Swithin's road. Coming down Grapes Hill turn right at the lights (St Benedict's Street), bear right into the entrance to the ca rpark. Pay-and-display, £1.40.

Anything I've left out? Are the directions clear? Constructive feedback always welcomed.
As usual, I will probably not be there by 8pm, sorry, so whoever turns up first, don't get lost and wait for reinforcements to arrive :-)
Regards Syd

I will try to be there earlyish and will bring a penguin (and a duck) so that people can find us.

I think the car park entrance is a lane on the left, but are we talking about the same place, behind the toy shop?
Exeter Street was cheaper last I knew, but not as well lit, although the takeaways meant it was quite busy. Turn left at the lights into Dereham Road, drive past the pub and the Jet filling station, then turn right by NICE. Sometimes you can get one of the free spaces beside the car park.

Personally, I'd park at the hooge wine shop right next door, fwicr it's shut by the time people will need it, so that should be a *FREE* alternative.

Yes, my mistake. Pay-and-Display carpark entrance is on the left, behind Toys'R'Us.
