Bristol - 4th & 5th October 2024
After the last meet was a huge success we thought we might as well go for another one in Autumn, Plenty of advance notice for you all. Expect a very similar set up!
Friday 4th October
For anyone heading down/up/over on the Friday evening, we will be heading for drinks at a pub called the Full Moon, just off the Bearpit roundabout.

It’s got a large beer garden and good selection on tap and reasonably priced food for anyone looking to get dinner. It’s very central so it leaves our options open for some ‘adventures’ afterwards, which can be discussed in the pub on the night. Will aim to meet at the FM for around 7-8pm!
Saturday 5th October
The main day is of course Saturday 5th. We’d be up for meeting for some breakfast nearby if anyone fancies it but again can discuss this the night before or on the day.
The plan is to meet for some draining at 12 noon in true 28DL style. We will send a pin for a meeting place on or before early Saturday morning, but it will be central Bristol. This will be posted here as well as on the Telegram chat.
The evening pub meet will start at 5pm at The Commercial Rooms in the centre of town:

This is a large Wetherspoons and has been an absolute staple of the Bristol UE meet scene since around 2008. It’s big and airy with scope to join tables together if needed. We will be getting food here so feel free to do the same!
Then at around 22:30 we will all move out en masse to a nearby venue for the after party
There will be a moderate sound system set up with a few people playing sets for the night. The venue is dry and totally covered so don’t worry about footwear etc. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the pub so fairly close by. Ideally we want to get everyone to enter together so please try to stick together when leaving the pub.
Expect plenty of expos and happenings around the whole weekend. TELEGRAM CHAT HERE: 28DL biannual meet - BRISTOL October 2024

Clean Air Zone
Another annoying CAZ, unfortunately this applies to cars as well. If your car is not Euro 6 you will have to pay to enter, if you don't want to there are plenty of areas to park outside of the zone and the CAZ only takes up the very centre of Bristol. I always park up at Clifton as it's nice but its a fair walk from the centre! Link to all the info you need including the map: Clean Air Zone
Everyone is welcome! The last one was fantastic, come along and meet new friends, old friends and everyone in between! Try not to break your ankle on a curb tho...
See ya there!
