Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress

[SeanMacGabhann]

If noone else wants to I don't mind organising it

December gets a bit manic doesn't it, how does 12th of November sound?

And given it's prominence in the favourite nights, how about upstairs at the Phoenix?

[georgia]

Sounds good to me

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.

oriwuuuuuuuu

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh good shout Piers!

Maybe a conga down the hill to Oriwu Spot after a few?

[mockney piers]

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!!!

[VeryBerryCherry]

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)

[Bellenden Belle]

The 12th is looking good to me....will be lovely to see everyone. I have very fond memories of some of the forum drinks.

[annaj]

Yes, I think 12th November works for me and The Phoenix sounds good.

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

[georgia]

Fine for me

[RosieH]

Hell yeah, why not.

[giggirl]

Not for me I'm afraid - I'll be in the sun on the 12th but very happy to down one in your honour Georgia.

[Keef]

Doubt I'll be there for6:30, but definitely intend to come along.

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.

[hibbs]

I'll be there on the 12th Nov.

Can't make the 12th have a good time.

[VeryBerryCherry]

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 a drinks virgin but might like to come to the last one (if it is). Is it the pub at Denmark Hill you are talking about?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Sounds fun too vbc

Narnia. Would be good to see you turn up. That is indeed the pub above Denmark hill (spookily, as i type this my bus is going right past it)

[Narnia]

How many 6.30 certainties do you need Sean to be able to claim the space?

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

[Narnia]

You could sell EDF tickets maybe?

[Strawbs]

Maybe move to somewhere where you can get a bigger group in ESP as it is the last one? We have bday drinks that night for a friend so may be along later..

[Keef]

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).
