+bhodisatva Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 After half remembering something said at the site of a cache t'other day, i thought i'd gauge interest in another London event. Is it too soon for another one or is the time (about four/five weeks hence) about right? Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ooer plenty of notice please so can fit it in with a trip to see my lady. Cheers Tony Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 definately about time - i was thinking the same thing myself! There are two London cachers off to pastures new soon (yourself Bhod and Richter Family) - do we know how soon? Quote Link to comment

There are two London cachers off to pastures new soon (yourself Bhod and Richter Family) - do we know how soon? Well for me it will be around 6-10 weeks, i'll try contact Jurgen (??) (Richter family) and find out when he's going. I know Currykev said he'd be up for a meet and i'm sure some of the other West London "Posse" will be up for it too, i'll give it another couple of days for people to register interest and then start the planning and figure out a suitable date.

alistair_uk Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ...and can I ask for a weekend event please as I am more likely to be able to make it. Quote Link to comment
+bhodisatva Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 ...and can I ask for a weekend event please as I am more likely to be able to make it. Sounds good to me Alistair, was thinking along the same lines myself Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Having contacted My Learned Friend, Pharisee,it seems that our old friend,the Mitre near Hatton Garden would be a good choice.Although a meet on the weekend may be a problem,being a City location.But since Alistair UK may have to travel some distance,I am happy for a Saturday meet. I am without doubt a definate attendee and mid October would be a good time.OK Roy,set the date. Edited September 12, 2006 by currykev Quote Link to comment

+lordelph Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That pub is a great venue, but closed at the weekend Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That pub is a great venue, but closed at the weekend Yep... wot he said But anywhere that sells decent beer is OK by me. Quote Link to comment

Was thinking of one of the river pubs John, there's a couple that do nice cask conditioned "proper" stuff (so i'm told). Or there's another one up near Hyde Park that's within easy access of transport links and caches Edited September 12, 2006 by bhodisatva Quote Link to comment

Jurgen (Richter family) is actually departing these shores next friday so won't be able to make the event, however, i'm sure we'll be able to have a drink for him:D Quote Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Can I recommend The Cittie of Yorke, Holborn, WC1V 6BS. I have used it for media events before and the beer is lovely. They have a number of rooms available and I have never had to pay for them. Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hmmm... London.... 4-5 weeks time.... now THAT I may be able to make... Quote Link to comment

And it just isn't the same by yourself... i need a weekend event too, cause i am working monday-friday. i am away 14th/15th october so hopefully it wont be that weekend.

DragonLass Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi Dragonlass,now you can meet more than 1 mad cacher all in one fell swoop. You can't scare me like that! Glad to see Princess Leia saw the thread too! Quote Link to comment
+bhodisatva Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Suppose i'd best start canvassing for a suitable date then, 21st is out cos that's the "big freeze" weekend, so in effect we are probably looking at around the 28th Oct or even the week after which is 4th Nov, any thoughts peeps? Quote Link to comment
+bhodisatva Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Could be earlier Ian, ie first/second weekend in October although i reckon that could be pushing it a little, any ideas folks please? Quote Link to comment
+Princess_Leia Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 First weekend in October works for me Can we have it in a theme bar? I saw this cool 50s diner on the web called the roadhouse. Could be cool. just an idea. Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 as you say, 21st is big freeze and 28th is also out for us - earlier is good though... 7th or 14th? or novemeber, but I get the impression the tall one can't make that! Ian, when are you back in the country??! At end of the day, you'll never please everyone, so go with whats easiest and most popular... Oh, and the Cittie of York is a great little boozer!

The Roadhouse is indeed a great bar, unfortunately it's also in the heart of Covent Garden, gets majorly busy and doesn't have somewhere where we could meet and hear ourselves think.

+bhodisatva Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 The way it's actually looking at the moment after the news i've just received might mean someone else has to organise it, it's looking increasingly likely that i'm going to have to be in Newcastle for three of the weekends out of four in October. Which three weekends are anyones guess at the moment . Quote Link to comment
+Learned Gerbil Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The idea of meeting in Central London at the weekend and being able to hear oneself think! The reason why The Mitre always worked is that it wasn't like a lOndon pub at the weekend! BTW, The Mitre got a mention in the Standard this evening for still being one of London's few traditional pubs. Quote Link to comment

So peeps, pencil in the 7th October for the event. Quote Link to comment
