Next Forum Drinks - Friday 12th October at the George Canning


Recommended Posts

Hi Georgia - welcome back


Venues for next drinks: ok, in SE22 we haven't (to my knowledge) been to -


Inside 72 - to small

Forest Hill Tavern

The Herne

The Green

EDT

Black Cherry (see Inside 72)

Bishop

Palmerston

Liqourice

Castle


quite a few contenders just outside the postcode too - Canning, Bar Story, Rye, the Hob, Page 2, Nuns Head (which would get my vote if we step outside the area)

Why not put it out to tender?


If you put a pitch together showing photos of previous forum drinks and briefly outlined the number of people that go, the good free advertising on the forum and the ensuing word of mouth recommendations then I'm sure loads of places would be offering free/discount drinks and food just to get you in the door.

I'm with Tillie, think The Canning would be a good choice. Bishop is horrific in many ways! Inside 72 would have to reserve the whle bar for us, which they obviosly wouldn't do... Shame because it's ace.


If not the Canning, then I'd go with Mark's sugestion... The Uplands isn't the best place in the world, but to be honest, if we get a nice big turn out, it really doesn't matter where we are!


How about The Dulwich Woodhouse one day? Bit out the way I know, but it's big, and does (or used to, I haven't been for ages) decent beer.


Anyway, as I said, my first choice would be The Canning.

Canning would be nice for Scor46 and maybe Scor46 should be rewarded for showing an interest in the Forum.


How about free chips and sambuca shots Scor46? I'm sure that would clinch it..


You might even get a guest appearance from a local celebrity.

I'll go with the George Canning seeing as Steve was good enough to turn up but wonder if it may be a little small for us lot. The Woodhouse is a Youngs pub Keef, fine drop of ale there and a good idea for a future bash and Mark you're right about bringing the atmospshere, so the Uplands wouldn't be a bad idea either. Also, we still haven't tried the newly refurbed Forest Hill Tavern have we and I rather thought that was going to be next up.

A few thoughts:


The next given date (1st Friday of October) is only 2 weeks away - is that too soon? Could we push it back a few weeks to give people time to recover and allow folks with family commitments to be able to justify another evening of embibing?


The first Friday in November is Bonfire weekend - should we move that back a week as there will be alot of folks doing the firework thing?


Then its December - a Christmas themed event?

The 1st Birthday bash sounds great, I was planning to come along but post near miss RTI the Friday before I was still suffering with whiplash, pulled muscles & blinding headaches so after going back to my GP I was referred back to Kings College Hospital for secondary tests.... blah blah, all ok but felt really pulled about & dint get home til 8pm. HOWEVER..... the Uplands is right up my street, so to speak & I would really love to come along & meet y'all.

    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
