Next EDF Drinks - Friday 3rd April at The Lodge (above the EDT from 8:30PM)

[georgia]

Wow look at this for organisation....

The April drinks will be at The Lodge (above the EDT) on 3rd April. They have invited us as they are fairly new and want to meet some people who live in the area. They will be providing us with some food so we can sample their menu.

I need to give them some idea of numbers nearer the time so if you are coming along, please can you say so here.

[Keef]

I'm definitely up for this, just out of curiosity!

[RosieH]

Two birds with one stone - finally going to go to forum drinks AND check out the Lodge - count me in.

[annaj]

Hang on....

*runs to check calendar*

Yep, I'm in. Must try and swap out of that early shift the next day though...

[mockney piers]

I'll try and make this one. I'm strangely partial to the lodge despite everything

[Jah Lush]

Definitely maybe.

[charliecharlie]

count me in Georgia, and sorry I did not make it last night

see you soon (ish)

charliecharlie

[Asset]

[Strawbs]

Jaws and I are a probably for this.. xx

[ThinLizzy]

Yes, I'll try very hard to make this one -- sorry I was unable to make it last night :(

Look forward to meeting some forumites (and sampling some tasties)...*food that is, I'm not a vampire!*

Eh? They've invited us as nothing else they've tried to get punters in has worked, and they're desperate to get some good publicity via the forum instead of the rather lukewarm reception they've had (on the whole) up to now.

They will be pulling out all the stops on the night to make sure forumites speak well of the venue after the forum drinks, hence the free food etc.

Not that I've got anything against The Lodge, obviously, oh no not at all :-$

It was a great idea to do away with all the well-attended music and comedy gigs upstairs @ EDT and turn the space into a Private Members Club, RIP.

Sorry to be cynical.

Im aware of the history between the venue and people like the goose and gut rocking. And basically im on your side

But it is what it is now and there is no going back. And i like the place already. Free food wont change that. But i would feel happier with more people there. I think it stands a good chance of being the best drinks night. And i shall be there. Oh yes. I cant miss two in a row can i. .

Curiosity and gluttony are part of the same vice mereckons ;-)

[buggie]

.... is going to be May before I make a drinks again :'(

Sad to miss this one as not made it into The Lodge yet and it looks interesting.

(CharlieCharlie - still owe you a mojito - will get there in May!!)

[charliecharlie]

no rush buggie... had not even remembered

though May does sound an excellent time for a mojito:)-D

so look forward to taking you up on it!

roll on the summer(tu)

I'll try and be back in town for this. However, I wish they would change the little sign they have outside. Makes it look like a preschool!

[snorky]

Mojito ?

I am tempted...

[Nichiyobi]

oooh that mojito pic has snared me - I'm in!

[charliecharlie]

mojitos make me think of summer...

just what I need on this rainy Sunday night

Any chance could we have the next EDF drinks here Georgia???

if not I'm sure the Lodge will be great:)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Charliecharlie in my experience the internals of the Lodge are very much as your photo depicts.

Please folks, remember your sun tan lotions and blocks, especially us tender skinned and delicate Ginger types.

Ok, if I end up feeling like a tit for being the only person to rock-up* wearing floral board shorts, I?m holding you personally accountable Mike.

*there?s that term again.
