Jamie   10 #26 Posted October 7, 2003 Bonfine meet sounds great ... gets my vote ! ...  Are there any organised ones we could go to ? ... maybe with fairground rides and toffee apples and parkin and stuff ?  They used to have a really big one in Norfork park ... but that one stopped about 10(ish) years ago.  Any ideas of where we could hold our own bonfire ??? I'd be happy to chuck a tener in the kitty ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

[/list=a]  YEP ... to both the bowling and the comedy night ...  I'm not a smoker DB ... and I hate going out to smoke saturated places and stinking of smoke (in my clothes) at the end of the evening.  I can cope with a bit of smoke though ... just finding that happy medium (i know one in bradford ... only joking).  Suggestions we have so far are:  1) Another pub meet with optional going on to a club.  2) A meal based evening (chinese YUM ... or a curry).  3) A bonfire (or haloween .. spelling?) meet ... I recon bonfire would be best.  4) Bowling.  5) Comedy night at the Lescar.  Anything that anyone would like to do?  I suggest we pick 2 ideas and plan those. We can always keep the other ideas for future use ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Agent Orange   11 #30 Posted October 7, 2003 Louise, I too would be interested to know if anyone here would be interested in the lunch meet up. I work in the city centre and find it hard to get along to meet ups as I have to commute here so a lunch meet would be very useful for me as I won't have to endure the rail system more than I have to.

Carlwarker   10 #31 Posted October 7, 2003 Being as the MAIN idea, I thought, of a Forum meet is to 'meet', socialize and exchange ideas, I vote for #1.  I'm all for 'splinter-groups' meeting, etc - but please, being as many members have their own social lives, and families - can we not concentrate on the main reason for a meet. After a meet. people can do their own thing and go for a meal or to a club, etc, or simply just go home to their family.  The Washington is spacious and not full of tobacco smoke - as you should know Jamie.

Foxxx   10 #32 Posted October 7, 2003 Originally posted by nommedenet Excuse my ignorance - what's a 'Dance Machine'??  Nomme  One of those arcade machines with the grid on the floor (up, dowm, left, right), the screen in front plays music and has arrows moving (up, down, left, right) you move your feet in time to the arrows and have to be spot on to get a good score. Its gets more complicated if you go on harder levels because there might be a left and right arrow at the same time so the only way to do that would be jump and land on the left and right pads. Hope that makes sense. Its very funny after a few drinks and two can play in pairs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
max   13 #33 Posted October 7, 2003 I must agree with CW on this one. A meet is an opportunity to exchange views and ideas which would be difficult if we are in a comedy club or ooh, aahing at a bonfire.  The Washington sounds fine. Do they still have a collection of teapots adorning the place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Do they still have a collection of teapots adorning the place?  It was my first time in for almost forty years (the old pub) - and for just about forty minutes, but my 'periphial vision memory banks' seem to be stimulated on your mention of teapots Max.  Let's have the next Meet there and find out.

John   11 #36 Posted October 7, 2003 How about a organizing charity event, maybe when it warmer again  I.E.
