Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress


Recommended Posts

Weegee - you'll be referring to the building currently housing Casa Smerelda approaching Nunhead.


It's also been known as:

The Village Inn


but on the night we went, and I agree the food was amazing for a short period, it was known as The Duke.


I think it was once something else too but before my time in the area. Beautiful old building - shit location.


Aaaaaanyway.....yep, I'm up for one last hurrah. I've been to a few forum drinks over the years but not for a while so this sounds a top idea.

How about the all new Canning? I'm sure they'd appreciate the business.


Oooooh. A crawl!


Phoenix, George Canning, Fox on the Hill, Oriwu Spot, EDT.


Strictly speaking the Vale sits between the last two, but you know, NTV!!!

Could I tentatively suggest an alternative date?...


Ignore this is everyone else is happy with the 12th, but could I also put forward the 26th November?


(As I have only been to one - please don't let me sway it if everyoen else prefers the 12th)

VBC ? sorry but from posts to date the 12th it is (subject to conf)


If that date has to change again that?s fine but I won?t be able to attend so someone else will need to take over planning


I?ve spoken to the Phoenix and they can give me the mezzanie but I need to have plenty of people there from 6:30 ? at this time of the year I can?t book from say 7:30 or 8 o clock


So can I ask people likely to attend to say yes they can make it for that time? If not I?ll have to get back to them and rethink venue/dates


Cheers

xxxxxxx


That's a shame as we have the very excellent - and local! - duo Jen Doyle and Joe Fowler on Upstairs at the Mag that night, so we won't be able to come. And nor will anybody going to the Phoenix!


They went down a storm at the fair on Goose Green which was part of the Dulwich Festival earlier in the year.

Hey,


no worries. It is a shame, but I will be dousing myself in Polish beer and vodka to ease the pain. :)-D


As long as you all get drunk enough for me and then post some cracking photos of the nights events then I am happy :))

I'm aiming for 15 - a few either way and we should still be ok, but the more the merrier


We are limited to 40 tho so if the majority are thinking of turning up later we could struggle. On a good drinks night we see 20-30 people, on a few occassions more than that and for Georgia's last hurrah I'm expecting at least 30

I'll go with whatever, but I'm not sure about the choice of venue.


What about Hoopers...


Or, wht about a pub IN East Dulwich (it being the last one and all). The first ever drinks, attended by about 5 people including Mockney, Huguenot, Me, Mike P, and one or 2 others, was at the Mag(dalla), so it may be fitting to finish them at the Mag(nolia).

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
