OK it's not, but it will be one day, so if we want a Christmas Meal meet now's the time to start thinking about it.

 

Ideas for good potential venues greatfully recieved - geographically the more people that could get to it the better.

A nice central meet like Beaconsfield just west of london would be good:D

[TopgunTT]

Great idea, you need to start the ball rolling early for these meets

[SteveR]

Be good to see you chaps up in the Midlands

[AlexM]

It's ####### September! Oh, yes.

[Pete]

Hell yeah! Only this year we need to find some place that will let us start drinking at midday and continue until we are actually too drunk to be served any more.

[SteveR]

lol

Hmm... if Kate passes her driving test by then... I can see a plan forming!

Too bloody right!

Sounds good to me Steve:) This year I will make it after a late back down last year:innocent:

This might be a bit of an odd idea, but how about we do it the first weekend in Jan?

 

Here's my thinking:

1. It's cheaper
   
2. It's something to look forward to after the fizz of xmas has gone
   
3. It'll be quieter out
   

 

If we went for the centre of the Midlands - Birmingham, we can get Travel lodges on Friday 9th in the centre for just £19. Birmingham Central and Birmingham Central Plaza.

Car parking can be done at The Mailbox - Very secure professional parking. Will cost you the same to put your car to bed as the hotel.

 

Book a big Chinese banquet or something to everyone's tastes then hit a club?

We may be able to do a deal on a meal with it being a quiet weekend on takings generally that weekend.

 

The survivors can always potter around Brum and do lunch on Sat.

 

If we do decide to do this we'll need to book the lodges ASAP to get the deal price.

 

Thoughts?

[SteveR]

Pete that sounds like a good idea whether we do it for Christmas or any other time TBH!

[Burna]

Count me in for another night out in Brum, last time was a great laugh. The sooner we book the travelodge for the 9th of Jan the better, that's a good price

[Why T]

Ill be in for this one guys

[Pete]

I've booked in at Broadway Plaza!

[Burna]

Booked the Broadway Plaza too

[SteveR]

Me three, plus I've started a definitive thread here.

 

 

So, do we want a pre-Christmas meet as well?

[SteveR]

Let's keep this thread as the December meet and t'other new thread as the January Birmingham Chinese meet.

Why would we have the Midlands Christmas event up there?

[AlexM]

Miller and Carter

 

It's a bit of a pain to get to (especially when it's raining) but the food was worth the drive, I'd quite happily go there again!

[SteveR]

beeeeeeeump

 

Any ideas then folks or shall I just book a random pub?

 

Is there any interest from our more easterly midlands counterparts? I'd like to book somewhere within an hour of everyone if possible, if people wil make the effort to come I mean. I guess that means nearish to a motorway and somewhere near the M42/M40 junction? So, KFC at a services it is, lol! (just kidding )
