The Harlequin can be found on Nursery Street next to the old Aizlewood's Mill.
Busses 47/48/53 stop outside the pub. The car park at the Mill is free to use after 7pm. Monday is also "cheap night" at the Harlequin. :thumbsup:
Everyone is welcome and this meet is very "newby" friendly. :)

I was really looking forward to being able to attend this month's party on the second Monday of the month.


NOW YOU'VE GONE AND CHANGED IT :rant::rant::rant::rant:

and I can't make it :(

I might toodle down the hill and show myself (not literally, of course). Anyhow, I suspect this will be on the evening after a heavy camping session and just in time for some belated birthday celebrations :thumbsup:

Flippin' heck! Sorry to hear that...I changed it this month because I thought people might be otherwise engaged on Easter Monday. :)
I'm quite open to the idea of a smaller meet on the 13th as well if there's enough interest. :thumbsup:

Can't see many people being free on the 13th when it clashes with the big Tranmere Rovers vs Hereford Utd game. For that reason, I'd stick with the 6th if I were you.

I'll be there, as per usual :D

As will I, old Chap, as will I!

I'll see the attendance list before making an informed judgement :D

Doubt we'll make it down this time, going away to the Lakes for a few days the next day, so could do with packing a few things and not abandoning the cats for another evening!

So far, unless I am knocked down by a bus, I will the there :)

erm, if you are travelling from netheredge then it would be best to get a bus from there into bus station, and from there get the 53 which will drop you off opposite the pub.

i remember you, i think :suspect:

Sorry Swami, count me out. I no longer have any childcare :(

Erm, what you trying to say?! I remember most people, unfortunately only by their usernames as opposed to their real names.

im hoping to be at this too :D

i remember gothic charm :thumbsup:

xxx

You remember most females agent orange :hihi::hihi:

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Dunno if we'll be there yet... Busy times ahead :D

Sorry will be in East London.

I'm ok for this one !!!

:thumbsup:

Off topic, but is anybody going to the quiz at the 'Quin tonight? I fancy it as I've been in that London all weekend and fancy a pint.

I will be a popping along to this one. :)

Sorry Swami, count me out. I no longer have any childcare :(

That's a real shame. :(

Rich battled alone at the quiz last night...he certainly missed you. :D

Sorry Rich...(gets coat). :hihi::hihi:

Sorry Rich...(gets coat). :hihi::hihi:

Yeah, I was kicking myself for not getting the question about Zorro given how many times I've seen Mask of Zorro :loopy:

And the Wacky Races one! :loopy: :loopy:

And the last two questions of the night... "What letter of the alphabet does the hero Zorro leave behind on his victims ??"
And the last question "Who was the winner of the Whacky Racers ???? Do tell Rich... we need to know. :thumbsup:

Yeah yeah OK, I feel daft enough as it is that I didn't get those 2! :loopy:

Dependent on how much money I spend at the weekend I'll be down to this one. It's downright rude when I can catch my bus home just across the road not to really.

I'll come along to this one as it's 'newby friendly'. Sounds like I'm going to be the only new face there though, scary :o I may have to drag a friend along with me.

Hiya, You'll be fine! :thumbsup: The only scary thing about these meets are the posing pouches.

Look forward to meeting you. :)

Posing pouches ... :o I may have to bring the camera, not seen any of those before. :D

Going to be working till 8 o'clock at other side of town so probably miss again, sorry Swami:sad:

I thought I'd posted, but obviously must have been dreaming .... I'll be there.

Zeb, where is your childcare? Not under the patio, already? heheh :suspect:

Stuff it - make me a definite!

Stuff it - make me a definite!

That's the spirit! :thumbsup:

You're a shining example to us all. :D

Stuff it - make me a definite!YAY! A girl after my own heart ;)

I'm a bit skint, but hopefully can scrape enough pennies to pop down for a half. :)


edit: deffo goin. need night out :)

Just a week-end away from this one forummers. :banana::banana::banana:

A good evening out awaits...anymore for anymore please? :)

Fingers crossed, I might actually be able to make this one- not in hospital, check, not ill, check. All being well I will be there.

I think I might pop along to this! Who shall I be looking for!? :confused:

Are you on facebook pink? A lot of the attendees are on there. I went to my first meet ever at the Harlequin in January and managed to find everyone!!

I am indeed on facebook, is there a group or anything?

pm me your facebook name and I will assist!

Merci beaucoup :)

Hopefully I'll be able to attend and make sure that decorum and good taste prevails :nono::D

Me & D2J are maybe's.

:)

Sorry Rich...(gets coat). :hihi::hihi:

I was gutted to miss it actually, quite enjoy the quiz, no matter how pants I am, having said that, I could have answered questions on Zorro and Wacky Races no problemo.


Anyway, in a last minute change of events, it's possible I might be able to turn up, we'll see.

I'm a bit skint, but hopefully can scrape enough pennies to pop down for a half. :)

I'm definitely coming after a week of indecision, do you all sit in a particular place? Just thought I have no idea who I'm looking for.

I'm still coming tonight, so if you spot a small female with short dark hair and pint of cider in hand, please say hello so I know who you are :)

you don't need to look for anyone - you'll hear us from a mile away.

(usually the big, loud group.... most of the other tables will only have 2-4 people around them..... we have about 2-4 to a chair)

ouch! Hope he's okay Shiesh!


I dont....!! Humph !! :mad:

Better be broken in several places now he has ruined my evening...if it's not it will be when he gets back .....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


well ......... biatch.

Takes one to know one dear !!! :P

I'll say Hello Pink, I'll the be the one with short dark hair and a pint of lager so we won't confuse anyone.

just about to go get ready!

Alas I won't be making it tonight.....got an upset stomach. Was fine earlier....going back to bed now :(

I'll be setting off in a few minutes, just got to shut PC down and sort me wallet and phone out.

wicked......

hey - it was good to see a bunch of newbies there tonight.
It was a good time and I have some candid pics.
3 guys all with birthdays on Sunday and another with a birthday on Tuesday.

we should have taken party hats.:partyhat::partyhat:

Only a couple of us though, it was a very enlightening evening I must say. I may even venture to another one as everyone was so friendly.

Just this minute crawled back into my pit. Enjoyable evening was had by me.... fortuntely work doesnt call in the morning. Nice to see you all again and especial thanks to the newbies.

well for someone that wasn't going...and then only going for a couple... I think I did rather well:thumbsup:

nighty night all and lovely to see you xx

What a great night. Quite different to a lot of meets. This was just a nice and chilled evening. :)

Nice to meet 2 newbies too, Ms Dem, and pink.


(I blame others for talking into going on afterwards :suspect::hihi:) T'wasn't me.

Thanks for the drink scozzie, and to SD for organising. :)

Good evening.... and morning, been eons since I crawled in at this time!

Don't blame me, it was Joe's idea to carry on after the harlequin. He just insisted on it, even though no one else wanted to carry on!! :hihi::hihi:

OMG...:o...my head!

Can't remember getting home and my son has just showed me the photos he took of me fast asleep in the dog's basket. :hihi: Suffice it to say the dog did not look best pleased.
Thanks everybody for another "craicing" evening. :thumbsup:
Special word of thanks too to the staff at the Harlequin...marvellous as always! :thumbsup:

good night :D:thumbsup: my other half wasnt impressed when i got in at about half one though :o:P:hihi:

Erm, my head seems to be somewhere else. I think the hangover has finally caught up on me. Oh well, it was a good night and I don't know who convinced me to go to the Washy afterwards. Keeping me up past my bedtime is a no no usually :D

Sounds like I did well to leave when I did - hope none of you stop outs have work today!

I'm not quite a newbie, but was good to meet you all. Very enjoyable and was good to put more faces to peoples names (sounds strange that way round).

I might even make an appearance at the next one (AO read: you should organise one in the city centre!).

Also cheers to Scozzie for the lift & drink.

Nice to meet everyone :) Hopefully be out again soon! :thumbsup:

(And thank you Zebra for the cream egg :love: and EdnaKrabappe for the lift!)

Yeah ta for the creme egg,! :clap:

And thanks to the person who bought me a half! That was really good of you :)

A huge thank you to Zebra.

My son (Ash) has just come round with a box of creme eggs given to him by her at last night's meet.

He just happened to mention that I collect for a women and children's refuge charity and am currently collecting Easter eggs for the children.

Thanks once again, I'm really grateful, as they will be too!

Chris

yeah good night and thanks to Zebra for the creme eggs - yum!
Where will the photos be published? I want to see where i am giving my sermon?

I'll try and hit the photos tonight :)
Chris 28 - you are very, very welcome!
As is everyone else:)

Uploading pics as I type :)

Getting mixed up with the Rawson. sorry :(

It seems ages ago since the last Harlequin meet. Still a good few weeks away from another :(

Could we meet at a church or mosque sometime? Let people choose which they prefer.
