After the Severn bore meet in March which proved such a success a number of members suggested seeing the Autumn bores so I 've Arranged another Free meet at the White Hart Broadoak on the Banks of the River Severn near Newnham on Tuesday September 9th until Sunday 14th.
The bores in September are midweek but the meet will run into the weekend.
The meet will coincide with one of the biggest Bores of the year on the River severn, there will be 4 and a 5 star bores up to
10 .4 means a 10.4 mtr tide at sharpness.
Any tide over 8 mtrs causes a tidal bore or wave, any tide over 9.5 mtrs is a large bore.
I believe this is the biggest in the U.K.

The Severn Bore in 2014 promises to be a record breaker after years of dissapointment, don’t miss out on the natural wonder and sporting spectacular which draws thousands of visitors to Gloucestershire every year
The Bore is visible from the pub grounds, and possibly from inside depending on your position and the light, and the amount of people standing outside. The best view is outside on the balcony.
Since the flood defences were built (over 35 years ago)they have not yet failed in protecting the car parks, Obviously usage of the car park is at the risk of vehicle owners!
Water is available from an outside tap next to the kitchen entrance.
There isn't any purpose built manholes specifically designed for Camper purposes, however there is a manhole cover which can be removed for waste disposal.
the pub currently opens: Weds Thurs, Fri 12-3 6-11pm
Sat 12-11pm Sunday 12-6pm closed Monday and Tuesday. However we could possibly tailor our opening hours to suit if required!
Dogs are more than welcome in the main Bar area of the pub.
Toilets are accessible during pub opening times,(earlier may be possible)
The bus stop to Gloucester is about 100yds from the pub.
Recently they currently stock only one real ale Golden Hen, as it is quiet at this time of year,but if you guys are real ale drinkers I dare say we can increase that if you will drink more ale! Please note this is a greeneking tied pub!
No fires will be allowed.
The pub is very welcoming and they have a positive and helpful attitude towards us.
Please note we are not staying in the main car park but in the overflow car park to the right of the pub looking out toward the river.
As this is a free meet we need to support the pub.
.
The pub is quite large so we will all fit in nicely.
There is also free WIFI in the pub.
Carvery is £7.25 and the meals seem reasonably priced.
This will be a limited number meet.
Please message me if you wish to be added to the list.
