East Dulwich Dads (EDD)

[Pickle]

Mr Pickle would be up for this - his eyes lit up at the mention of a pint and a free pass to go to the pub ;-) Two kids, 2.5 and 15 months.

[snowboarder]

No, no, this isn't fair!! I haven't been to the pub in 5 months!

[Mellors]

I am sure Mr Mellors would be outrqaged at the prospect of baby chat ruining his night at the pub....its his one refuge from it all!

[KatsuQueen]

MrKatsu is really up for meeting up with other ED Dads. But is it with kids or without? He has no preference for weekend or weekday evening but it might be a good idea to alternate?

He can spend as much time in the pub as he likes as long as he takes MiniKatsu (7 months)! (I'll let him off if it is an evening thing)

[Keef]

Well then perhaps alternate meetings, one a child free week night. The next a weekend with kids...

[iaineasy]

perfect I am in!! venue?? I like the clock house because its 8 seconds frm where i live but wouldn't mind walking anywhere in dulwich as long as they have a good ale!!

do we all where a flower in our lapels or something to signal we are EDD's? since I have never met anyone on here for real??!!

[Mr P]

Hi, I'd happily meet up for beer or kids activities.

Two kids son nearly 2 daughter nearly 3.

A beer sounds like a perfect start to a dads club, clockhouse or CPT work best for me but any pub in E.Dulwich works.

Any evening next week works for me...

[Jamma]

You new dads will regret inviting anyone with a child over six months - we all think we're experts!

May I suggest Tuesdays at the CPT? There'll be champions league football on most weeks so, you know, it's not just men meeting up to talk about babies which is a bit, you know, well you know. I'm not that interested in the football, it could just be an ice-breaker. That's all.

I wouldn't ever make a weekend date because as someone says that's generally for family stuff but if you were to say every second Tuesday in the CPT I reckon I'd be in.

[Keef]

Okay, who is up for next Tuesday CPT, 7:30/8ish?

We can see who rocks up, have a chat about football and children, and how I never get to relax in front of Football Focus on a Saturday anymore (Grrr!!!). If it works out, then maybe we can look at a getting together with kids thing at a weekend...

[Jamma]

YOu may miss football focus but the Match of the Day repeat on a Sunday morning is a godsend.

I'll need to check the calendar but should be good for Tuesday.

[alieh]

I'll encourage my hubby to come along on Tuesday. We are first time parents, 9 month old son. I have local mum friends but he needs dads!

[Keef]

Actually I'm a fool, the coming Tuesday not good for me. Week after? Go with majority vote.

[ratty]

OK, I will try and come - momney is tight however cos we are off on hols on Friday 18th. Will try and keep a few sheckels back from the weekend.

Re the above though - it's true - Sunday morning MOTD is the bomb! It is essential viewing for me and Jack on Mummy's lie in day.

Also true is the fact that any father with a child of over 6 months thinks they know the be all and end all of fatherhood! :)

[iaineasy]

yup I'm in for tuesday week at the cpt!! It will be fun to meat a few dadson the manor!!

[Mr P]

Tuesday week is good for me.

See you all on the 22nd.. CPT is perfect.

[ratty]

aww shucks. Will be in Naxos. That week.

[mockney piers]

I should think next Tuesday will he ok. See you there.

[Jamma]

It's nearly Tuesday. Is this on or has there been a collective cold feet? If so, who is going and what's the codeword for recognition purposes?

[????]

Hiya. I'd be happy to come for a beer as I know a few attendees and it's near by, I've also got one on the way but as i've 2 already not sure if you want a relative 'veteran'

[seamusmac]

What time are you meeting at the CPT tomorrow?

(dad of 2 girls and back in the country and always up for a pint)

[Keef]

Hi guys, yes I'm still up for meeting, but won't be able to get down til about 8:30, as Mrs Keef has a Tuesday evening commitment for the next few weeks.

So, who is in?

[mockney piers]

I'll pop along, probably for about 8 o'clock if that sounds alright.

Mine's a G&T as please quids :)

[Mr P]

I'll be there for 8:00ish.

Perhaps to recognise one another we all take a newspaper, give us something to do while we wait for others.

I'm assuming its the sports bar side of the CPT.

Look forward to see you all :)

[????]

8.30 or so for me....slice and ice Mockers?

[Keef]

Thay've put a big screen in the "old" side now too, so wherever looks best when people get there...
