Yes, just in case I have David in tow. Theres also another young lad (Alex) whos new to the forum and whos keen to join in. No play area required for him but we need a place that will accept children generally.
I know this is a bit cheeky, but could we aim for somewhere near public transport? I dislocated my shoulder in a disagreement with a driveway a couple of weeks back, and, although its mostly mobile, I still cant drive.
Down Mikes way is good at the moment, since Im now in Bracknell (only a few miles from Chertsey). I can mess with trains if people want to stay in the Brighton area, but Id probably have to leave quite early.
We could always do London, so people can drink without driving, but that may be a pain for families.
Just my tuppence worth.

Andrew, What part of London? Soho?
Mike.
I was at KCL for a bit, so I can find my way around the centre (by which I mean the Strand and off towards Tottenham Court Road)- although doing the Monopoly and Circle Line Crawls probably helps more. I can probably source a decent pub, although whether anything can be found which would be emptyish and allow kids on a Saturday evening I dont know.
Off the top of my head, the Sherlock Holmes (near Embankment) is okay, has an outside, and is pretty accessible from Charing Cross/Waterloo (which is how Id guess most people would come in). The Porterhouse (near St Martins) is huge, and might cope too. Theres something else big near Trafalgar Square (I want to say the Two Chairmen, but I might be confusing it) which might cope, or theres somewhere near the Monument (name escapes me) which would cope well - but thats harder to get to/find.
Im rarely in them on a Saturday night, though, so spacious is probably a relative term.
I was thinking mainly in terms of somewhere easy for people to find (without having to buy a travel card, if possible); if anyone has a more exotic idea, Im amenable.

Exotic - how about Phukhet? If you pay the airfare
I vote for the Porterhouse, tis a fine establishment with a very very large selection of beers. Although anywhere inside the M25 will do me nicely.
come on, its gone quiet, I need a drink, a chat and to let my hair down. well, thats not really possible for me is it?
Mike
i thought you already let your hair down when the tash went
That was his hair - like all men his age things start to droop and migrate outwards and downwards
Karoline,
I recall a saying containing the words pot, kettle, and black
