The next MKHA Main Meeting will take place on Tuesday 29th November, 2011, 7.00pm for 7.30pm start, at the North Crawley Institute, High Street, North Crawley, Newport Pagnell, MK16 9LZ. It is not far from Junction 14 of the M1 and from looking on google maps, from MK it is the A422 to Newport Pagnell then onto a B road at the bottom of Tickford Street. I hope this helps you to find it and if you know places by pub names then it is opposite The Cock!
