[SeanMacGabhann]

Nothing apologise for. . Twas time it was lounged anyway as the main event was over.

with the acoustic afternoons imminent im warming to the plough more and more

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well, were are we meeting next? Back to usual 1st Friday of the month (is it the 1st Friday? I am losing track).

I am on holiday, but lets get the debate started.

[Mark]

good night had last Friday, sorry I didn't get to speak to more people.

I'm posting this tentatively on this thread to get some feedback before I announce properly:

The birthday's going to be on Friday 21st September (is that ok? There's nothing else happening that night is there?), and we need a venue. Does anyone know somewhere that can hold about 50 people? What about upstairs at the Magdela? I'm going to send out an email to the 1,423 registered users telling them about it so there may be a few more than 50 and I'd like to try and get some local companies to sponsor it (i.e. put some money behind the bar and buy a cake). Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions gratefully accepted.

Hello all... just wanted to say it was my 1st outing to the EDF drinks on Friday night - and I was tad nervous about meeting you - however my fears were unfounded as I thought you were all lovely! Thanks for making me feel welcome - I had a really great evening :))

Have marked the 21 Septemeber in my diary - and look forward to seeing you there again - if not before!

PS The Jerk Chicken Cook Of in Horniman Gardens yesterday - if you missed it - you missed out - Deeee-licious!

[mockney piers]

Glad you enjoyed. It was a lovely evening, and like everyone it was just a pity i couldn't talk to everyone (too much time poking my camera in people's faces).

ps, AllyCat, just checked out that thread, it must have dropped off my radar. How did you get on with the new telly? Did the stress of it cause biscuit overload?

[lorraineliyanage]

Was anyone there? As I met up with friends, but couldn't help but noticed an empty table with "Reserved for EDF"...

[Keef]

Oops, sounds like we went to the wrong table :-S

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oh *rse! I am in Estonia on 21 September - the next round of Tallin based work starts as soon as I get back from holiday.

Blinkin' flip and blimey!!

[Jah Lush]

Great time on Friday at the drinks and well done Mockney for pix, although I look absolutely smashed and believe me I was. Very much looking forward to the next jolly-up. Oh! and CWALD, if that's what your mum looks like, Phwoar! Lovely.

[SeanMacGabhann]

How was the wedding on Sunday Jah? And did you make it on time? Looked like you were in a rush to me!

[Jah Lush]

Thanks for asking Sean, the wedding was fantastic, got there in the nick of time and yes, well spotted I was in a bit of a rush, needed a little something to keep me upright.

[MadWorld74]

Sorry I wasn't there. Trying to lay off the booze and I knew if I popped in for a 'cola' I'd be hammered and waking up on the floor of my lounge the next day; as I pretty much was the last time I went to EDF drinks.

The pics are fab Mockers.

There's always another forum drinks, I'll make it up next time with Mr MW74 in toe (after cunningly tricking him first, of course) B)

[georgia]

Ok - the next drinks, which should be on 7th Sept, are cancelled due to Forum birthday bash on the 21st Sept

The October drinks will be on Friday 5th October - venue to be confirmed.

Is this right and ok with all?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Splendid - can we do one of those online vote thingies?

[Brendan]

Or a show of hands?

(tu)

[citizenED]

I vote that the forum drinks are cancelled on the 7th Sept - however, i'll go for a drink that night if anyone cares to join me - we'll call it Not-the-Forum drinks.

[georgia]

Sounds good to me :)-D

[citizenED]

For starters, thats me and Georgia. Anyone else?

[Ladygooner]

Count me in

[Jah Lush]

OK I'm up for these, we've got the whens now all we need is the wheres. Where's the birthday bash going to be? and where's the next forum jolly-up going to be? Plenty of time to work this out though.
