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.

    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
