Rather than have a monthly ruck over where we go for the next drinks, Georgia and I would like to create a venue rota for next year. A bit organised perhaps, but, whilst we enjoy the drinks we dont enjoy some of argie-bargie that goes into identifying where we go.


So - please throw your collective hats in the ring - where would you like to go?


The criteria might be: big enough to hold a group of 30plus people, any place that would welcome 30 plus strangers turning up out of the blue, good accoustics - i.e. where people can hear each other, other added value features might be karaoke (a big hit at the Wishing Well), open fires (for winter meets), beer garden (for summer drinks). Also, the places really need to be within reasonable hitting distance of ED, i.e walkable within 30 minues.


If any pub/bar owners who feel that they fit the bill would like to volunteer, please post here as well.

The Rye most definitely in either the winter or the summer but summer would be wickard!

Clockhouse

EDT

Bishop - but not sure on the space issue

The Mag

CPT (quiet but we could make it work)

Herne Tavern

Plough although the service is as slow as grass growing so its certainly not my favourite choice

I am new to the forum, but would like to join the EDF drinks thingy

agree with SeanMacGabhann


Montpelier

Rye Hotel


would be my choice

but Magnolia, Clock House, Herne all great by me


thinking ahead, the Rye have B-B-Q's in the garden in the summer, now that's a cheery thought on a winter's dusky eve, never been but bet it would be nice... drink in one hand food in other.... what could be better

Oriwisu Spot

EDT

CPT

FHT

Montpellier

Plough

Bar Story

The Castle

Magnolia

Gowlett

Wishing Well

Hoopers


Any away days? Perhaps extraordinary saturday or sunday afternoon meets? Borough, Forest Hill, Honor Oak, some lovely ones up in Greenwich, boat trip and everyfink etc

Drink in one hand, drink in the other.....?

The Adventure Bar? Surely everyone must love the ear-splitting sounds of Bon Jovi while battling your way to the bar for a Mojito?


Seriously though, as a newbie myself I'm quite a fan of The Plough...failing that, I do quite like The Gowlett but it sounds like its been done to death.

Ahhh, no! Is it really time to put the monthly bun fight to bed? I love that little squabble. I think the selection of a venue is a debate that grows organically out of the feelings people have about the previous drinks. Be interesting to see what choice people would opt for after the zany time that was the Wishing Well. I can see the benefit of pre-selecting say, the venues for two months at a time, but not a whole year. Pleeease.

of course.. we could... just stop having them??


Revolutionary thinking.

We could rethink it a bit, organise events rather than regular piss-ups.


Let's face it I see half of you down most pubs all the time, and Keef's Plough night is always a success for a regular beer + music.


We could be a bit more adventurous rather than argue once a month whether it'll be the Mag or the Gowlett AGAIN, and can anyone be persuaded to come to the CAstle.


Ok ok, I'll shut-up, just saying...might not have been so stupid an idea...been going to them for almost 2 years now, let's face it!!

I think that the monthly drinks are a good way of people introducing themselves, people know when they are (mostly) and this is particularly important for those with young families who need to plan ahead.


Of course, as many peole do, there is nothing to stop people organising other activities if they would like .....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
