Brizzle Social Club

sarajoy

This is silly really, because I'm not free tonight. Well not until 11ish (post-cinema) anyway...

BUT how about we just establish this thread - so as with the Morpeth one, we can post our availability of a Friday evening and if there's two or three of us fancying a bevvie then we make sure to pop along?

Venue suggestions:
Mud Dock (fairly obviously)
Watershed
The Apple (ciderrrr)
King William
Naval Volunteer
Landogger Trow

...those are just a few central ones I happen to like and that aren't far from plenty of cycle parking (albeit along cobbled streets!) - but I'm generally easy as long as it's not on top of a hill I'm not already having to cycle over

Given my laziness I leave work pretty late so would be likely to just turn up in bike gear (maybe stashing a sweater on the bike somewhere specifically for pubbing) for a couple from 6-7pmish before going home - but then it depends whether I'm supposed to be somewhere later on...

Stuck in an office in London tonight, til about 3am so won't even get to the Morpeth.

How about Monday or Tuesday?

....you have to be careful here in yokel land organising SCR drinks at mud dock otherwise you turn up and its closed..isn't that right attica

Yeah I'll be up for a swift half on the way home one evening, I owe a round from last time (that'll get people coming )

sarajoy

A Monday or Tues would probably work pretty well actually.,,

redvee

Despite my liking of liquids that give you a headache, I don't know some of these imbibing houses. Pray tell where some of these are.

Mud Dock (fairly obviously) Know
Watershed Know
The Apple (ciderrrr) Don't Know
King William Don't Know
Naval Volunteer Don't Know
Landogger Trow Know

I'm up for it, no trains to miss only cars and taxis on the way home

attica

Landogger would be my favourite, or perhaps the one opposite (can't remember the name) where we could all sit outside with our bikes

ziggy.mcd

"The Old Duke" I think, (live jazz music)

attica

That's it, the Old Greg, lots of outdoor seating

TRADESIZE

I'm up for this.


Landogger Trow a good one,

..................but if you want a bit of a ride from town(about 4 miles), we could head down the feeder along the river and catch the boat over the river to here, and I bet (probably)none of you have ever heard of it, its only been there for 163 years:

given enough warning i might be able to heave myself across from bath and then kip over with the outlaws in brizzle. it would be so much easier if i worked in bristol, or even near the middle of bath, but being the middle of nowhere means planning good social beers well in advance.

now the weather is going to be glorious it would a shame not to make the most of it to cycle and drink!

There's a pub called the Old Greg? This calls for a pilgrimage.

Is the outdoor seating comfortable, and do they provide blankets?

We have 2 Old Gregs in London.......... ;-)

On a serious note I think this is great to see that more people are arranging social evenings as the ones up in London have always been great fun, heck if I ever get round to arranging to visit my brother down in brizzle with the bike I might be able to nip along for one myself down there :-)

attica

So, Monday evening?

The Old Duke (If it's rubbish the Landogger is only over the road)

I could get there for about 5.45 - 6.00 ish, who's in?

If you're buying then I'll be there Long way from Brum though? Be better if it was more than the 2 of us.

NGale

So any of you Brizzle-ites want to come down here to deepest darkest Devon sometime for a social?

I know of some excellent hostelries down here in Exeter

sarajoy

I'm in for Monday I tend to leave work 6ish so I might be rather later, like 6:30-7pmish. Will you still be there?

sarajoy

Edited!

Mud Dock (fairly obviously) Know
Watershed Know
The Apple (ciderrrr) You know the Trow and the Duke - keep going towards the water and there's a boat with big square parasols outside - that's the Apple
King William On the same road as the Duke and Trow, but closer to town centre
Naval Volunteer As above, two doors along from the King Willy
Landogger Trow Know

I'm up for it, no trains to miss only cars and taxis on the way home

redvee

Was either the King Willy or Naval Volly once called Yesterdays? If so I can place it.

sarajoy

Not sure to be honest. Doubtful as they both seem proper historic, innit.

Umm, they're both on the side of the road opposite the Old Vic. Not sure if that helps?

Weather ain't currently looking great to sit outside at the Trow, more's the shame.

Yup, Yesterdays was opposite the Old Vic. Bring your brolly for the rain.

sarajoy

So where are we going, the Duke, tonight?

redvee

The duke and bring your sax/clarinet.

sarajoy

See you hopefully before 7

If for some reason I'm blind to other cyclist, I'm likely to be in orange/hi-vis vest with smiley face on the back...

attica

I'm gonna be there but sadly will have to leave at 7, I'll keep a seat warm for you SJ.

gtvlusso

Doh! Can't make it - gotta get home and take dog out for at least an hour. Tuesdays and Thursday's are good for me though generally.....DOg gets walked by someone else!

Sorry...!

attica

So, current attendees are:-

Attica - til 7
Redvee - all night?
Sarajoy - from 7

Is anyone else coming along?
If we're the sum total of peeps attending I'd be glad to postpone to tomorrow night so that GTV can come along, I'll be able to stay til later too. Don't want to tread on anyones toes though, what does everyone else think?

sarajoy

Fine with me.

Bloke is away as of eeaarrrrly hours tomorrow until after Easter so I don't have so much taking up my evenings.

Off dancing Thurs though, so Tues would be good

redvee

Tuesday good too going on the way I'm feeling now.

gtvlusso

Sorry - I always seem to shove a spanner (or allen key) in the works!

Tues is good from around 6'ish?

redvee

gtv

first of all you bugger up our pi$$ up, now you can't even get the sayings right. It's 'Allen key in the spokes'
:roll:

attica

haha

I'm in.

6 ish tomorrow, The Duke.
