If it's raining Saturday I say we move the meet to their parking lot and have lunch there!

Southport Brewing Co
2600 Post Rd, Southport, CT
(203) 256-2337
Sounds good to me. I'll be willing to meet up with ya, even if no one else goes. I'll call you Friday to confirm.

right, they would only card if you are sitting at the bar. this is a big restaurant with real tables.

Hannie, the park is open from dawn to dusk. can't believe you've never been there!

yeah understood. the weatherman have been wrong before, lets hope they are wrong this time and we get a warm front with 60º weather!


Been there more times than I can count, every summer I have a cookout there, but never in the winter, been to the SBC too, I thought SISP was closed for the winter season. !

Final Update:

The meet is ON. If the weather is bad we will still meet in the Sherwood parking area at 12PM then move to SBC for lunch at 1PM. Reservations are made, even if the weather is bad you can still come out for lunch at 1PM.

MEET AT 12PM, Sherwood Island State Park, 1 Sherwood Island Lane, Westport, CT 06880. Exit 18 off I-95.


When you drive past the toll booths (no toll, free in the off-season) continue going straight in, all the way to the pavilion and continue driving around the traffic circle, then pull into the first open parking area on the right (with the ocean to your rear and right sides).
Do not pull into the first lot on the right before the circle, this is the lot near the pavilion and it's usually crowded and the pavement is in bad shape. We will not be there in that lot.

IF YOU COME LATE and no one is at Sherwood Island, we will be at Southport Brewing Company, 2600 Post Rd, Southport, CT (203) 256-2337.


The final list: 32 people total if everyone shows
