EDF Christmas Drinks - Friday 5th December

[georgia]

Hello all

Now we just need a venue. I have e-mailed the Adventure Bar to see if they could reserve us an area. I think it would be a good Xmas venue as it's a bit different.

Just a suggestion, any others gratefully received.

How about the Mag?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I believe that is you being droll MP?

Adventure Bar - interesting choice.. why not

[Brendan]

Well because...

[mockney piers]

It's my work do that night, so probably won't make it, but may be able to pop along assuming an early finish.

Ooh, and good night on Friday, quite a turn out I must say, I'm still wearing my bodie strange head scarf thing, got some very strange looks on the tube this morning.

[Keef]

I got absolutely slaughtered on Friday. Not quite sure what went wrong, I stuck to pints, avoided shots and shorts, but found myself really rather drunk... Must eat in future! :-S

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the 5th or not, but Adventure might be fun IF they can reserve an area... Or even Black Cherry, Angela is lovely, and may well save some space for a group.

[AcedOut]

I'm a fan of Adventure. Whoever said the drinks there are not strong clearly didn't try to Whisky Sour!

[karter]

how about the wishing well on bellenden Road?

[EDOldie]

Have you done The Castle?

[Keef]

The Castle was a source of much contention, so we sort of started a night there for those who wanted to, before heading on to the CPT. Like the idea of the Wishing Well.

[Brendan]

We've tried EDOldie but there were objections. It was all crossed arms and stamping feet and, "The Castle! There is absolutely nothing about that place that can even vaguely be described as yum or scrummy.?

[Brendan]

Why don?t we do the Dog again? It?s a nice winter pub.

[Moos]

Brendan, your self-awareness is laudable.

[EDOldie]

Hmmm, puzzled, it's a pub and it's in E Dulwich. Can we only go to gentrified gastroenteritis pubs?

[georgia]

They weren't exactly welcoming last time!

[Brendan]

Humph!

[mockney piers]

Wishing well is a good call.

I like the dog, I just never seem to get served there.

i'd love it to be at the castle, but I fear too many would boycott the evening, and it's been deemed unnecessarily divisive, which is a pity, but there's the rub.

Isn't that part of it? But if you've already been, we should go somewhere else. Adventure sounds good.

[Keef]

Georgia, where are you talking about, the castle or the dog? Clockhouse probably deserves another crack at some stage, it was a very early venue, beene hoopers, remember turning up with fear n boozing and meeting Tillie Trotter for the first time.

[AcedOut]

Where is Wishing Well?

[david_carnell]

On Bellenden Road.

The refurbed Montpellier is round the corner too which hasn't been done yet (I think).

I'd also give the Clockhouse a go over Adventure Bar.

[buggie]

Don't fancy the Castle but should be able to confirm this wk that I'll be free on the 5th, and with a day off on the 6th won't have to be a cinderella for once!!

[Moos]

I imagine the Christmas drinks will be popular so wherever we choose ought to be roomy. I'll go where I'm told, though.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Get thee to a nunnery.

[Brendan]

The Plough? ;-)
