Christmas

[Mick]

I have been asked by a couple of members recently if we are having a Christmas meet.
so was just wondering if anyone else is interested
if so a date and venue would also help

 

[entwisi]

not that fussy but somewhere central with decent beer...

for places not on my list, the Railway... sorry, just toooo many TVs for me. ( ditto any other "Sports bars", I want to talk to people not be surrounded by noise and distracting TVs

 

[flashy]

There isn't much noise comes from the tv's Ian, i've always found it to be a good meeting place, although they do have karaoke on at weekend, that might be a problem

Sydney Street was good for the meet last year, although the smoking area is a little cramped

anywhere is good for me, makes no odds because i'll have to travel wherever you have it

 

[entwisi]

its not the noise flashy, its the constantly changing pictures in my peripheral vision I find really distracting.

personally I'm a quiet dimly lit pub sort of guy....

Yes, age does that to all of us.

I hear what you say about those TV's that's why when I'm there I'm in the smoking area only 5 to put up with out there, though more distracting than peripheral vision is the reflection on my lenses from sets I have my back to.

The Oaklea has plenty of room & pretty central without being in town centre?

The oaklea is a good shop, but "Don't" sell Non Alcoholic Beer,

Don't think that is a bad thing, Flashy. Problem with places like the Railway, was too good a smoking area and was easy to stay out there and split the party, whereas, at Sydney Street ... just smoked your cigarette and back in the club.

Thats much better to me than them sodding TVs.

Only been in Railway once with a friend, wednesday evening. We thought we had inadvertantly walked into Dixons or Curries. One very swift pint each and that was it.

 

[flashy]

Thats very true Kate

[annesingleton]

I'd like to come to a Christmas do, not bothered where it is as long as it's pretty central, I'll leave the details to others because I can't think of anywhere better than what's been mentioned.

 

[cashman]

yeh will no doubt enjoy it anne, they are usually good craic.

 

[Restless]

I know what Ian means about the TV's in the railway... hehe there is just so many!!!

 

[MargaretR]

Does anybody stand watching them?
...or are they a substitute for a heating system?

 

[Alan Varrechia]

Hate to think what the leccy bill must be like.

Have you never noticed everyone's computer crashes at 11.25?
He switches them on five minutes before he opens the doors.
It probably alters all the electrical radiation around Hyndburn.
But I don't mind I'm usually stood outside.
