2008-03-23 Sun - LondonFgSs 1st Birthday Party

This is the deal:
We've got a venue, it's called the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell.
http://www.theslaughteredlambpub.co.uk/index.asp.

We've booked the basement for EASTER SUNDAY.

There's bike polo at 1pm at Brick Lane, so we are thinking of kicking off some preliminary bits of fun after 7pm.

Schedule:
(1pm: Bike Polo at Brick Lane)
7pm: Introduction to skills with one or more of: trackstand competition?, skid competition?, game of F.I.X.E.D.?
9pm: Doors officially open downstairs, come in and drink yourself silly and party like crazy buggers

That's a late license, and it's Easter Monday so you have the day off work and no excuse.

The pub has a kitchen, and I'll get a menu of what will be on sale... if there are any requests for vegan stuff or things like that, let me know and I'll ask them if it's possible.

There will be DJ slots available... if you're interested let us know (whisper) the type of music you play and what equipment you'd need (if any).

The whole thing is an enormous social. You don't need to have met people before, you don't need to have done any 60 mile rides, you don't need to even know how to skid... just come along and meet other people and look back at one crazy year of this forum being around and the stuff that has happened in that time.

Now... the real deal, we moved the date, and we need an idea of numbers so that the bar can make sure they have enough staff to serve us all fast enough (and I know how we drink), so let this be the decisive list of who can come along:

What sort of tour?

@vb, not many railings around the lamb?

31t®um @vb, not many railings around the lamb?

he seems to have checked this out. Pretty prepared! and anyway bike trees rule!

ok, thanks roxy.

Yeah the building opposite has railings. There is the oblig' "don't chain bikes" sign, but it's a business building, this is a long-weekend and we will number quite a few. I don't see it being a problem and it was a consideration from the outset that a considerable number of bikes should be able to be secured very close to the venue and within view of anyone who is outside smoking.

That will be a necessity at the SL. I used to work in the building next door & I apprehended three little scrotes nicking a apple laptop from the art gallery opposite, they were on a stolen bikes We have on many occasions caught kids (the ones that go round in pairs on BMX's one on the footpegs etc) checking out our bikes at the despatch dept of Metro. Lost a couple of wheels and one bikes I think in about 10 years....not to bad.

As long as people are aware & someone is outside all the time (smokers) the bikes'll be fine.

VB's right about the locking of bikes to thoses rails, no problem over the weekend.
