So, the first Friday of November is 2nd of November which is the start of the Bonfire night weekend.


Given this and the fact that the last EDF drink was only a week ago, the self appointed EDF Social Committee suggest that we have the next gathering on Friday 9 November.


Venue - The Forest Hill Tavern

I don't think you should repeat the Gowlett when there are other places that haven't been done (FHT), and others that were done before it... Obviously Mag hosted the party, so that's out.


I would suggest EDT, as it was an early one, not that well attended, and a decent venue... That or The Drum, as we could just take over the whole place and have an EDF party.


Or the CPT... ;-)

I agree with Keef we shouldn't repeat venues so quickly


I like the idea of The Drum (but hasn't that also been a venue)


Sean H-L is the one who prompted this discussion AND lives near the FHT AND is a venue we haven't done....


* coughs * Omrith is also next door and could be an early stomach-liner

Me too. Haven't been in the FHT for more than 20 years and haven't been in since the refit and feel we should give it a go. The Drum or CPT is an excellent idea for the Xmas party but the CPT would just swing it for me as it's bigger.

The 10th is better for me cos I am drafted onto lates over the Halloween/Bonfire period... for my sins. Looking forward to meeting you all over again & I promise to be more socialable this time, I was having a bit of a shy moment last time.


See some of you at CPT for the rugby tomorrow ~ Cheers GG

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
