EDF Drinks - Friday 7th November at Hoopers

[Sue]

Well maybe it should be in both ...

It's clearly something that's "on" :))

Maybe the drinks should be renamed "EDF Drinks for Forumites who Use the Lounge" :))

[Keef]

Can't admin just make it a sticky at the top of all rooms for the week leading up to the event? Everyone's a winner!

[Sue]

Very sensible idea, Keef, would make sure everybody knew about the drinks.

You wouldn't need the whole thread, just a post saying where and when and a link to the main thread in the lounge.

:)-D

Has that not been done b4? ...

[Sue]

Not since I've been using the forum - can't remember when that is though :)

[KalamityKel]

sorry sue I didn't mean to direct that at you.

I meant has it not been done before resulting in a reason as to why it's not a continuous thing... ?

[will dex]

can drinks perhapos occasionally be on a sat not Fri, as it seems to mark out peoiple who work in town and have stuff on after work thus always missing fri nights??

Didn't take it as directed as me, KK, no prob :)

Perhaps the administrator would like to comment as to whether or not Keef's suggestion could be tried out, or if it has been tried out previously and didn't work, why that was?

Will Dex, I think people often have things on on Saturday nights as well, whether after work in town or not - whatever day you choose someone will have a problem with it.

I like the Friday evening myself, it marks the end of the week :)

Well m'lud, announcements across the site are official ones that affect everyone who uses the forum, announcing that people are meeting up for a drink does not affect everyone. However I would suggest that another post is put in the What's on section referring to this post and, assuming the objective is to let more people know how good it is, I would suggest that the initial post explains more about the drinks for those who know nothing about it. Let people know that it is an unofficial get together for people in the area to have a drink, put a face to a name, meet some of other natives, discover a new pub in the area etc etc.

Many thanks for your suggestions concerning how we should put more posts up in other areas of the Forum about the drinks for those who cant find the Lounge.

If somebody would like to do that. Feel free.

How is the Hoopers in Camberwell? It has an SE15 postcode, which for me makes it Peckham, and it's about 5 minutes from East Dulwich train station.

Moos - really, don't... AD loves nothing more than a bit of postcode pedantry. never mind that we have been to Hoopers before as well as the George. And especially never mind that Hoopers is within staggering distance of LL and most people's homes... that isn't AD's main point of interest

[Moos]

Imagine if AD and AFN were to have a child.

It's not that people "can't find the Lounge", MP.

It's that they may not look in the Lounge for relaxation and chit-chat, and therefore will not see the post about the drinks.

I would be very happy to put a post in the "What's On" section each month, which would take about two minutes, but as I don't organise the Forum Drinks or decide the venue, I don't feel it would be appropriate. However if the organisers want to delegate it to me, I'm happy to do it :)

Also, the post in the Lounge is a sticky; if the "What's On" post wasn't, it would need the b word every so often.

It's SE5 actually, but yes, 5 minutes from ED station :)

As opposed to the Sun and Doves etc, which is more like 30 minutes from ED station if walking .....

I humbly withdraw my objection - I thought the postcode was SE15.

Alan, so long as it's typing and not breathing down my neck it's all good ;-)

[mockney piers]

ooh, AD, as we're in your neighbourhood do we get the honour of being graced by your company now that you've emerged from your self-imposed exile, or will you simply sneer from your ivory buckle?.
