519.0. "WHERE IS..." by NEWOA::SAXBY (Tech Writer (NOTES)) Fri Jan 03 1992 10:45

    
    Quick question (as I have to be there by 6 tonight)...
    
    Where is Wimgrove House? I'm coming from Newbury (I know it's on
    Basing View, but which slip roads, etc do I need to take?).
    
    Thanks in Advance.

    from Newbury on the A339, take the ring road and go straight on
    across the Aldermaston and Reading Road roundabouts. Take the slip 
    road left (you're near the AA building at this time) which takes you 
    back under the ring road and on towards the Town Centre. Take the next 
    slip road on the left and follow the Business Area signs. You'll arrive 
    at a mini-roundabout. Turn right and Wimgrove House is on the left hand 
    side about 200 yds along.

    Mark,
    
    Does this mean you are going to do a victory parade around Basingstoke,
    given your noter of the year placings?
