EDF Drinks - Friday 9th May at The Magdala - Tonight

[Strawbs]

Not sure if we can do the 6th as we have something booked in and a second booking hovering already which hasnt been confirmed...

Anyhoo I will watch the thread and see if that's definitely the day and see what we can do..

Strawbs and Jaws :))

Oh and Im easy on location as havent been to either...

[Keef]

Mike I get the impression that The Vale is still owned by the same person, but that Darren is the new manager, and is trying to make positive changes. I have been a strict NTVer for about 4 years now, for the same reason as Mockney. However, I think it might be time to review the situation... Besides, the Black Cherry, which everyone, me included, rates amongst the nicer classier local drinking establishments, played host to a dirty big fight which saw someone get his head kicked in on Saturday night, so bad things and idiots can be anywhere.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Good news re The Vale.

We just need to ensure that Mockers doesnt rub his extremity in a furtive manner when he leaves the loo, again :))

[Hannah6_6]

Thanks so much everyone, i had a truely lovely first forum drinks! Plus it has been so nice this weekend to bump into faces we know out and about!

6th June is my birthday so I will be playing elsewhere (as will d_c I hope, suggesting the herne was obviously entirely selfless!). See you all in July and hopefully before.

[Cassius]

My friend was there and thought it was a Dating night with people with name badges!

[Jah Lush]

First one I've missed in nearly a year. Looks like the usual fun was had by one and all. My vote is for the Herne Tavern. Who's the hottie in Andrew's pix? The one he seemed to take a lot of photos of.:))

Uh-oh. :'(

[annaj]

Looks like you're toast again D_C...

*pictures Hannah6_6 waiting at the door with a rolling pin*

;-)

[bignumber5]

Been off posting recently, and similar anti-social behaviour at drinks, just hid in a corner and didn't really give the newbies a proper welcome, so sorry all. Will be much more chipper next month.

If annaj says she's free, then I spect that means I am too! :)-D

[Michael Palaeologus]

Looks like June 6 is D-Day, again.

Looks lik its either the Vale or the Herne. Which has the bigger nicer beer garden? In the unlikely event that this nice weather will survive the cricket at Lords.

[Asset]

Herne please.

[Brendan]

Lords smords. Surely you mean the cricket at Wandsworth Michael.

Anyway I?m neutral on this one. I?m like Switzerland man.

[Asset]

ok, The Vale then

[TillieTrotter]

Thats the spirit Asset, give them a go.

[TillieTrotter]

At least we have something new to moan about if it all goes pear shaped.

[Bellenden Belle]

Sadly I am at the theatre (darlings) on the 6th - but hopefully will see you in July! (if not before...)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Darling Belle, we will still be drinking upon your return.

[georgia]

So have we decided 6th June at The Vale?

[mockney piers]

The Herne it is then, nice.

[SeanMacGabhann]

bad man.. BAD man MP

I'm happy to go to either - but having coined the phrase NTV it would appear that I might favour the Herne, but having seen all the discussions before the Mag was decided and then seeing Darren from the Vales' posting I think it deserves a chance. Before it's too late ;-)

[georgia]

I quit - someone else can decide which (6)

[david_carnell]

Could the Administrator set up a poll (much like the favourite bar poll), let it run for a few days and "let the people decide"?

[Brendan]

I propose settling it with a bare-knuckle boxing tournament.

Now you just have to decide where to host the tournament.

Just leave me out of it though. Switzerland man, Switzerland.

[Keef]

Vale, FH Road is a bugger for me to get home from, Vale is easy... Perhaps not the best reason, but it works for me... Plus Vale open til 2, and there will be music.

[Moos]

Drinks on Brendan then, with all his Nazi gold.

I would normally vote for the Herne but will go for the Vale this time, in the spirit of adventure.

Big :)-D to Georgia for putting up with all our vacillations. She's a hero!
