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

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
