December Meet

[sub82]

Yeah it's Tiny Rebel's Fubar on first - 2 rotating guest taps will be class!

Just about to ring - will check the 11th (or 12th as a 2nd choice) for 8-10 around 7-8pm. I'll keep yeees posted.

[sub82]

Right - spoke to the Hudson!

They're gonna email me menus and we can book with a £5 deposit per head. Would setting up a paypal thing be the best way to go?

[BrewBilly]

Sounds good, a paypal option would work for me

[sub82]

Good stuff! We're provisionally booked for the 11th at 7.30 - see attached for the menu.

We just need the deposit to confirm - I've double checked PayPal and as far as I can see they won't charge if I use it for collecting deposits. Does anyone know if this is right?

[Quiet_Man]

Sorry folks - guess I'm to remain annonymous!

11th doesn't suit - the Mrs has her xmas-do and as I'm out 12th (Black Sabbath night as previously declared), 13th for my own works-do and the 14th for our footy club do - its a busy week!

Enjoy!

Didn't realise we were gonna do a proper Christmas menu...it may price me out of this  Money is a wee bit tight, shall consult the missus!


That Tiny Rebel FUBAR is amazing!

Guest tap in the Hudson??? Nice one. That bar just went up another notch in my estimation.

Don't judge me but I genuinely like wetherspoons. Was there for a few pre-gig pints last night. Whitewater Hoppelhammer for £2.65! get in!-Barry

Is this cask Whitewater in Wetherspoons? Been trying to get the Derry ones to order in more stuff from Ireland but always just get the response "we normally just have it in for festivals".

Yep; they had that and Belfast Ale on tap last week and the week before.

Didn't know they got craft beers in on draught. I've fired off an email to Wetherspoons so hopefully they'll take note.

Would the Hudson not just have the standard menu available?

[iain_todd]

Money's gonna be a prob for me, too. Dunno if I'll make this...

[sub82]

I will check this out today!

Do we also need to rethink the meet if dinner is pricing people out of it? Would beers and some sides (chicken wings, etc.) be better?

[Bill_00]

The Cucina Povera place will certainly be open. Surely just a matter or finding enough space for us all somewhere in the bar?

I know that's what I thought we were talking about originally, just a more relaxed meet with some food.

Cool! Will see today - what is the Cucina Povera?

Don't change anything on my behalf, I'm just having to be a bit cheap over the next few weeks, as Xmas is absolutely destructive. Drinking and eating at the Hudson would, I imagine, be quite pricey!

Tamsin and I have decided to forgo our usual Xmas meal out and just do something nice at home - so every aspect of my social expenditure is facing austerity!

You guys just do whatever and I and others can always make it down later for a few swall-meisters...
