Probably avoiding the return of TV footie.!!!!? Rewind meetings resume on Weds 24th June with a 2015 Poole v Swindon meeting.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Very smart new blue/black team kevlars on show today at the practice in Leicester. Can't see them clashing with any other SGBC Club thank goodness. All individually sponsored by fans and/or local companies, with their names on the back! Very smart but I guess will need some dusting down after the session today.

I've not stayed there for some years but the Sandbanks hotel was always nice and in a fabulous location Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 23, 2020 Sandbanks Hotel is very good as are its sister hotels the Haven Hotel (also in Sandbanks) and the Harbour Heights in Canford Cliffs. The Sandbanks has a very good on-site Chinese Restaurant - assuming nothing has changed due to the Covid??? The club recommends the Hotel Du Vin in Thames Street, Poole. Food and accommodation top notch (but top prices too - particularly August Bank Holiday weekend I imagine.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted June 23, 2020 The wife likes the look of the Thistle hotel, has anyone stopped there. We also need a nice steakhouse if we go, any suggestions ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also several decent restaurants on and around the quay area. Ranchos Steak House is good on the quay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought that was Covid 19, but would appreciate anyone being able to confirm this please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz9100 270 Posted June 24, 2020 They are taking bookings from July, so they must be still open. I know there are plans to redevelop the site but not sure planning has been granted yet. https://www.thistle.com/en/dorset/poole.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
