  • There's a London get together, are the main Birmingham crowd heading down there to the Camden or is it worth trying to set up a few beers in a (bit) out of the way drinking establishment for a few glasses of falling down juice?

    I'm a newbie and barely know anyone, so i'd like to think this as a good way to boost newbies face to face knowledge of forum names, i'm also a recovering student so this visit to the pub feels natural in my therapy process

    so suggestions for;
    Date
    Venue
    Happenings

    I'll spam this across other parts of the forum where I feel it will benefit (like Coventry for example) and request replies in this thread only, hopefully that keeps the admins happy? if not feel free to nuke my thread.

    Please copy and paste the below with your suggestions added onto the bottom to creat a list, thus making it a little less tedious for me (or anyone else who wants to sort this) to sort.

    when you've filled those out, quote my suggestions, stick yours on the end and post = Happy Simple

  • simple instructions

  • **Member: **danwentskiing
    **Date: **Friday 17th December, or Saturday 18th
    **Venue: **Spotted Dog (covered courtyard to lock up bikes, probably dog-friendly, cool little pub with decent beer and complimentary scones, sometimes)

    I'm pretty easy on most of the above specifics, but can we merge it with BHM beers? Stick a post on that thread and get Pistaboy informed/involved. I'm starting to think that a regular drinks night won't work in Brum, but one-offs such as this could be good.

  • **Member: **casasteve
    **Date: **Friday 10th/Sat 11th December.
    Venue: Any within reasonable riding distance of New Street.

    Venue:
    x2 voted for Spotted dog
    x1 vote for Flapper

    Can anyone find out if the Spotted dog is infact dog friendly,

    Friday 17th x3

    Friday 10th x1

    Casasteve - is it possible for you to make Friday 17th?(pm'd this incase he misses it)

    I'm reluctant to commit to the 11th as my doggie is due pups then!

    Anyone else got an onion on this or that shallott (watching come dine with me right now) ?

  • Give us a chance to repond! Was thinking about this the other night.

    date: Prefer the 10th/11th (no can do 17-18)
    venue: Any venue - spotted dog is good.
    happenings: All bike related frivolities.

    This definatley needs a flyer.

  • Can anyone find out if the Spotted dog is infact dog friendly,

    Pistaboy lives nearby - I'm sure he can ask next time he's 'passing'.

  • I think I could do 17th. Supposed to be seeing Tron, but going to IMAX on the Saturday too (yes, I'm a geek) ;)

    can't! Young, impatient, too keen and suffering polo withdrawls :D

    I don't have a printer, someone else can take this event and organise it if hey want, I just wanted to get it started i'm not fussed about being the sole organiser, anyone?

  • Nope, you've started it. It's yours now!

  • Nope, you've started it. It's yours now!

    hissssss

    Right this is up in the air until December 9th when final details will be set in stone, you all have until then to flog this like the dead horse it may become if we dont spread the word!

    Last train home for me is 11 I think,

    who else will be arriving by train to New Street? can peddal to which ever pub as a group?

    We could start at the flapper and head to the dog (I dont know where the dog is s someone else would need to lead)

  • Dogs are welcome I believe. Will check on Friday.

    You live near me mate, don't you?
    Meet and ride to Cov Train Station if you want.

  • im gunna make a flyer me thinks.
    any suggestions for printing/places i can go to get them printed?

  • You live near me mate, don't you?
    Meet and ride to Cov Train Station if you want.

    I'm unsure if i'll be coming from Cov yet, if I am then yeah sure, either way it'll be New street station where I land.

    Has the spotted dog got a pool table? as the flapper has two excellent ones, we need pool tables to be sure.
