New Members Compass Beer Rides: 7pm Departure Trafalgar Sq

Got an email about this and thought I'd revive...

It has been noted that meeting up with a big group of forumengers that you don't know in a pub can be slightly intimidating. So to make it less so, this idea has been put forward to combine drinks and rides.

Think of it as a Forum Fresher's week, without the hazing, so that the previous months new members get a chance to meet up with, and ride with fellow forumengers. Talk bikes, find out where drinks are, and get a good ride in at the same time
You can come out to the beers closest to you, or trek out to a beers on the otherside of town, safe in the knowledge that you'll be with people who a) know where they are going, and that b) someone will be heading back in your general direction so you can ride home in the company of another forumenger.

So For One Week, every couple of months, there will be rides from Trafalgar Sq, to the Beers,

Monday - Souths @ The Coach and Horses
Tuesday - Norths @ The Flask
Tuesday - South Easts @ The Roebuck
** Wednesday - Easts @ (check thread)
Thursday - Wests @ The Pear Tree**

A couple of regulars from each beers will be at Trafalgar Sq from approx 6.30 for a prompt 7pm departure, and will take any new member who so wishes for a ride which will arrive at beers.

The Next Compass Beer Rides will be
May 2-6** 2011**.

with provisional dates for the following being

**July 4-8
Sept 5-9
**
Depending on how many new members/faces sign up and add their names to the ubiquitous forum list, the dates can be moved on a month or two, or brought forward.

So New Members start here, come down to the ride to the beers, introduce yourself to other new and regular members, get a good ride into a beers, enjoy a soothing alcoholic beverage in the soothing presence of your new found bike friends and get a warm and fuzzy feeling at being welcomed into the collective forum bosom.

That is all...
