Um, sorry to drag it back to the question of separatism etc, but. Saturday is a good idea as then those with kids can do the afternoon, those without (or a babysitter) can do evening and some hardcore people can do both. Why does it have to be a Friday night?

Personally I would prefer all the drinks to be on a Saturday night rather than a Friday but I'm not going to suggest they are changed as I only show up to the odd one anyway.

I don't think it's so exceptionally bad to have 3/4 months of drinks on a Saturday night is it?

we could have some on a Friday eve and some on a Saturday afternoon and evenings

could vary them or alternate them

or do Saturdays for Summer and Friday eves for other less 'outdoor' month...

or even do Sunday lunch time occasionally

anything is possible, but I guess it is down to Georgia as she's the one who puts all the effort in, fixes them up and chooses the location


I'm just delighted with the idea full stop, and grateful to Georgia who sorts it all out for us!

The idea was to have Saturdays during the Summer at venues with beer gardens. Thus allowing people to enjoy the glorious summer afternoons with their children and get horribly drunk.


What time is it going to start and will people pace themselves and stay on in the evening?

"Thus allowing people to enjoy the glorious summer afternoons with their children and get horribly drunk."


Should there be a then inserted somewhere in that sentence, dear Michael?


If so, then I agree with the idea in theory, only it didn't quite pan out like that at the Herne and, though I cannot vouch for others, it won't be happening like that at the Rye with me since I am now unavailable for the afternoon slot because an event that I had assumed was an evening do actually transpires to be in the afternoon and so instead of attending the Forum drinks with my family in the day I will be at said event and will now be coming to the drinks in the evening as I had initially not expected to; so could get horribly drunk sans offspring. Voila

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
