EDF Drinks for 2009 - venue ideas

[Michael Palaeologus]

It might be easier to have make the choice by Pole.

Put all the names in a hat and ask a friendly Plumber to pull out the remaining 11.

AndrewXBlack is no more (for any value of X).

I'll vote for a visit to the Hob too - have the best chippie next door and their cool about you bringing the food in - not the best for those after a wine list though!

Anywhere with good enough music to give it atmosphere but not so loud I can't hear myself think would get my vote.

CPT high on my list, and not just because I am a lazy wotsit who would like the idea of only rolling one block down the road to the pub (though that could be part of it!)

I can't. All other suggested venues listed above sound grand

The White Horse has never been done only across from the Rye.

Very good point!

Ages ago in the early days of forum drinks this was discussed, but never organised.

Perhaps either the June, July or August drinks could be done at The Clockhouse on a Saturday instead of Friday, then we could have games (kickabout / rounders) and picnic on the Rye, and the pub is just opposite for pints in the sunshine. Would be nice for those with kids to be able to pop down in the afternoon if they can never get out to evening drinks. And whilst typing that last sentence, I have realised that that group may well include me, so I am pushing for this even more now!

Other option would be The Dog or The Plough, which are close to Dulwich Park, but The Clockhouse actually overlooks The Rye, and I think it could be a lovely day. We can even have acoustic guitars out and get all hippy!

Any thoughts?

(before anyone suggests organising it seperately to the drinks, people have tried doing the picnic thing, and it hasn't really worked. Think it needs to be organised well in advance as a proper EDF summer meet... Matbe even involving a BBQ...)

[Kells]

The Woodhouse (I can roll downhill to my house - the novelty of that idea still hasn't worn off!). But I'm not particularly fussy, I've yet to try most of the suggested venues. How about the Mansion, or is that too far?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm voting for Keef's Clockhouse idea. Partly because I think I thought of it in a previous summer and partly because I got burned at the picnic-organising thing as well!

[buggie]

like the picnic/pub/rounders idea - this much notice and I'm bound to be able to make sure I'm off!!!

[Moos]

Agree with you, Keef - summer Saturday larks sound great.

[Brendan]

Sounds like fun. Do we have to run down there from the Plough again like the last time we got drunk at the Clockhouse?

I think the bbq idea is a non-starter though as they don't let you set fire to Peckham Rye. It may be for the best though as you guys would probably just get it wrong.

[Keef]

I was wondering if we could get The Clockhouse to do the BBQ for us...

[Strawbs]

Definitely keen on the clockhouse idea in the summer, Jaws and I would be there for sure!

Jump's in with both feet for this one.

Carnell can bring his pork chop with him.
