OK, so the last thread decided that we're going to do it... but I'm a bit lost trying to read through and sort out what's what, so if you'd like to come please sign up here to give me an idea of numbers and I'll get a space/table booked.


Details:


Sat 12th Dec

8pm onwards

PLOUGH PUB (near Dulwich Library)


The more the merrier!


Pippa

Is anyone with a huge bump going? I'll only get dead jealous of all your Cosmo (etc) drinking if i don't have a 'lime and soda' partner. I'd love to join you but might join you for a January one otherwise - then I can have a drink or two and let my hair down more.

Would love to come, but am driving back from Bicester late on 12th so though my heart is willing my flesh will definitely be weak. I'll raise a mug of Baileys & hot choc to you all when I'm safely home & snuggled up in front of 'Casualty' (my secret addiction), and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

No bump ... but I'm not a great drinker and might even be driving, so don't worry.... come along!!

Around 13 (give or take) so far - anyone else?


If you don't sign up please still come along if you fancy it, it's just a casual meet up - come for a drink, have some food if you want to (I will eat before I come out as we eat early with the kids in the weekend), put some faces to names!

OK, an update... the Magnolia aren't able to accommodate us on Saturday, so I've got us a space reserved at the Plough. Bit of a random choice (hope it's OK for everyone), based purely on the fact that it's one of the few pubs I've been to recently, has quite a nice vibe without being too mad, and there's plenty of room. And also the lady I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful!


We have a space (not sure if it will be a table, or maybe one of the groups of sofas) reserved for us from 8pm, under "EDF Mums" and my name - Pippa.


If you're coming along and don't know anyone feel free to PM me for my mobile number, and I'll make sure I meet you as you arrive. I'll comfortably be there for 8pm, will try to arrive a bit earlier. Feel free to invite any friends you have that fancy a night out.

Thanks Pickle, I like the vibe at the Plough, glad we're not going somewhere so loud we can't talk (great if dancing, but not so good for first time socialising)!


I too should be there from 8pm, mobile number below if anyone wants/needs to call me.


Molly

Hi Pickle,


Are you trying to reserve the room upstairs at The Mag or just an area on the ground floor? Just out of curiosity really because sometimes they let people have it if the group is large, but suspect they are busy for xmas socials.


Anyhoo, many thanks for arranging the Plough and look forward to seeing/meeting all the ED ladies (think I only know a few of you... Pickle, Fuschia, Molly!)


Best,

-C

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering. 
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
