A 6 monthly meeting for British forum posters?

Any ideas.
We could meet at a show or have a dinner or a drink or a piss up.
We could pay an annual subscription and have a treasurer (I nominate Bennie)
We could hold the event in different parts of the country.
If we arranged something say three or four months in advance of the first one, this would give those travelling a distance the opportunity to arrange transport, accomodation etc.
What do you think?

Ah, not ESB, Rob. That would lead to violence.

HH, Are we still going for the London drink up at the end of January? A few are still interested I think, so any of you London Boxrec boys would like to come along I think the last Fri in Jan was planned - you'd all be more than welcome

The last we discussed it, We were looking at The Griffin near Charrings Cross/Embankment on the last Friday of Jan. It hasn't been discussed properly since before Xmas, but a fair few were interested at the time. I was gonna put up a thread next week as it goes on BA, but like I say - a few of you BoxRec boys should come along.

Hey the last Friday of Jan.
We could all get pissed up and then get a train to the Goresbrook Leisure Centre for Eastman-Sendra.
You know who will be there....

Na, i think its just a regular pub. I've not been in there, but Doyley and Doggyland recommended it - so blame them if theres a 50y/o fattie swinging round a pole.

No the Griffin (tacy srip pub) you are thinking of is about thirty yards from my office.
Ive never been in there.

I'd definately come if i could guarantee it but i work funny shifts so it would be hard. I am banned from driving at the moment as well so my travelling would also be harder, damn i'm such a buzzkill

I tend to stay clear of anything that includes the word "Albion", just ask any Wolves fan
