Given the utter failure to organise an event last year and the very poor efforts to arrange summer drinks this year i thought I'd make a super early start to this years SCR xmas event.
For those of you not 'old' enough to know what this is, basically for the last few years we've had a gathering of SCRers at the sacred home of the beautiful game ie the Morpeth.
We usually hire the room upstairs and have a non traditional but yummy xmas buffet with plenty of booze and stories of battles won, never lost.
December is the preferred month and the sooner we make a claim the more choice of dates we'll have, Friday's are preferred and all are welcome.

Can this be made a sticky?
votes cast. 6/13 for me."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Couldn't make the summer one as I'm out of the country but I should think that the 13th or 20th would be good for me (probably other good too).
Voted.

Joiners Arms does a fine selection of well kept ales.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
Sun - Cervelo R3
Winter / Commute - Dolan ADX0 -
I went for the 6th and 20th, thought it best to avoid the 13th as having a hangover for my daughter's birthday might be bad form.0

Having been MIA for a while I thought I'd attempt to brave the winter cold and show my face. Any date is currently good for me.0

I'll try my best to turn up this time. All dates are as good as the other so far.0

I'll pop in on Friday and see what availability they have, after all it wouldnt be right to go anywhere else and you know I kinda like beerZRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Much as I like beer, especially free beer. Perth seems like a long way to go for a free pint.itboffin wrote:Free first pint tomorrow in the 'perth 8)0 -

As I've only started commuting can I still come along and meet a few of you guys? Maybe get some tips from seasoned pro's?0

Although the Morpeth have been in touch a few times with me to see what we might want to do this year, alas I've pretty seriously injured myself (slipped disc) so getting up in the morning is a bit of a challenge let alone trying to organise this event.
That said I will again try and pop along tomorrow evening and yes all are welcome no matter how new or experienced you are - non drinkers will be made to stand in the corner facing the wall :twisted:Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Well all those Dec. dates are now fully booked, so either we look for a new location or we quickly agree a Nov date?
I need to know firm numbers as wellRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Is the 29th still free?
Given that only 3* of us made it for a summer drink should we just use the little room at the back?

I changed my vote to the 29th but then realised that's actually my wifes birthday so perhaps not a good idea for me to attend.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

What we have done in the past is met at the Morpeth then rolled around the corner to a rather nice indian restaurant, that's always an option as is another pub?Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Are you married to my sister? Scarily you'd be a vast improvement on the current arsehat.itboffin wrote:I changed my vote to the 29th but then realised that's actually my wifes birthday so perhaps not a good idea for me to attend.
Going for a ruby round the corner sounds good. Although that kind of plan often ends in nobody leaving the pub and it getting very messy. That's an observation, not a complaint.0 -
your analysis of the situation is spot on but luckily the restaurant is open later than the pub
