Oh! that's such a shame.
Back when I was a "lfgss newb" South beers had summer bbq's and apple pie bake offs and bike race viewing upstairs and jerk chicken comps (not a euph) bike stacks and weddings and everything.
So sad...Well, some people seem to think that the "spirit of the forum" was chasing newbs away and reserving drinks for privileged OGs. The death of most of the points-of-the-compass beer nights is something they celebrate. Funny, because I thought "Compass beer rides " was "spirit of the forum". There you go.

It looks as if it has an alley for standing around in looking at bikes.

If you want it, make it happen. Find location, organise companions and change the location in the title of the thread. West beers is revived.
Let me know and I'll show my face.. -

Bump.
Wests is happening tonight at the Adelaide, partly for jersey pick-ups:

I'm meeting someone in Victoria but I don't know how long that will take and if I'll still be able to make Wests, but I'll try.

Souths when I started going to drinks felt like a pretty closed shop. Pretty much as Bruce describes, bunch of OG's who knew each other far too well to bother with any one they didn't know. Don't think it was on purpose, it's hard work talking to people you've never met before, every week for years... And most of the people at souths just wanted a quiet drink with thier mates.
I never got that at wests though. T4, Mick, Dov, Max, Murts diable, Oliver, were like the lfgss welcoming committee... Also the fact there was always other newbs there in droves probably helped.

I only got there at 10 past 10, but of course nobody was there any more. Still had a nice ride, wasn't too much of a detour. Plus, I'd already been to the pub by then. :)

Sorry if I was a bit loud and obnoxious... I would blame the cider, but i'm pretty much like that when sober :)
