what about the Lounge for friday night (that was such a good night!!) and the Magnolia for the sunday?? it has a courtyard garden at the back, or the Herne again as good for kids to have an safe open space to run around in (for those who may want to do it family style....)

Hold on a minute. I am happy to organise the Friday evening drinks but if people really want to go to a different venue on the Sunday I am going to have to leave it to someone else to arrange! Plus I think it will get a bit confusing having two events in different places in the same week.


Mike P and I have a list of venues we planned to go to up until the end of this year, though we are of course flexible if new venues come up. But we are not going to go back to venues we have already done this year ie: The Lodge, The Herne. We are trying to go to different places each month.

Seeing as the last drinks were held in Peckham why can't you lot pull your socks up and come up to my neck of the wood in Forest hill. You'll get more pint for your Pound and the air's cleaner up on the hill.


Come on Keef, get behind me on this!


No smart arsed comments from you either Quids!

I wastn't that keen on the Lodge - didnt have much (or any) draft beer. I guess you could take a trip down to the EDT to get it, but it is a bit of an imposition if someone offers you a drink :-). Social wise it was nice....


Havent done the Gowlett recently (or have I forgotten).

I think The Hob would be great, they have live music on Fridays too, and it's free to get in. (speaking of which, we're playing there in November, but that's way off).


Regarding Sunday drinks, I could be wrong, but I can't see it happening. People want to do family stuff, or go to the pub with their mates for a Sunday drinking session. It's a lazy day, not one for making polite chit chat. That's just my opinion, like I say, I could be very wrong about it.

happy to go with those Georgia


Agree with Keef as well re: Sunday's - it just won't happen in the way Friday night drinks have worked


The best thing about Fri night drinks were the fact that they were reliable and you knew when people would show up. That's not to give out about the idea of summer/family venues on Saturdays - It was a great idea but after 2 "goes" I would favour a return to Friday's. That doesn't help people with kids but at this rate it is those people (and I'm thinking that's one or two people on any given Saturday) who will turn up to find no-one else there

Can make the 7th after a friend's bday drink.. No can do the 5th but we will see you guys in October xoxo

The Saturday "family" idea was nice (although it was never intended to be a family thing as such", but it would seem it doesn't really work. I guess whether it's a nice idea or not, it is hard for people to commit, when it can take 2 hours to leave the house, and you are at the mercy of the weather.


Perhaps we should try to organise a one off "Park Life" day, for a game of rounders, and a few cans of beer. That, I believe, was the original idea behind trying a Saturday. Don't know if it would work, but worth a try...


Agree with Keef as well re: Sunday's


Nice to find a bit of common ground again ;-)

BBW.


Sorry I didn't do formal intros to the missus and the kids but my little girl's obssessed with the BBW and I didn't want to lose one of the few remaining weapons in my armoury (ie fear of the Big Bad Wolf) by introducing her to a very pleasant looking and amiable young man carrying Bleak House, and saying "This is the BigBad Wolf".

very fair comment Georgia... any offers for arranging the family thing? (no good suggesting me... you cheeky scamps...just in case anyone was going to suggest it' date=' that is... no kids!! and already organising a monthly EDF event at the Mag)


Keef this sounds a fab idea...

Going forward... still wondering if there is a trend towards gettings better turn outs on Fridays? Do you have a feeling for this Georgia?


7th August - The Plough

5th September - The Gowlet

both great ideas and so far looking good for me!!!


thanks again Georgia (sorry I wimped out and did not wait longer on Sat!!)

Hi, I just joined edf a while ago. I would love to go to one of the drinks nights, but not sure if I'd have the bottle to turn up to a pub not knowing anyone. Also I wouldn't recognise any of you so would probably end up approaching a different group with them wondering who the nutter is. What was it like when you first went? I have visions of doing what charliecharlie did - hover for a bit and then leave.
First drinks I went to was at the Phoenix and I was so close to introducing myself to a table full of chavs... but thankfully I recognised someone on the other table and so saved being thrown out of the window. Next one is at the Plough and because it'll be a good turn out I'd say just head for the largest group.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.

We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about.
