Who's up for a pub meet then?

[dirtydog]

Who fancies a pub meet one evening then, like we used to do?

[WayneL]

I'm up for stuff whenever I get the chance!

[Winder]

I like pubs

[Tomor]

Not as much as me, you have potential, but I have more experience.

Cheeky bugger, I'm not that old!

[Winder]

Experience comes with age, so you have WAY WAY more experience than my good self.
You can teach me the way of the boozer by getting the first round in sensei.

[WayneL]

Where I come from, I can actually remember when 1/3 of the whole area was nothing but fields. Does that make me old?

[Whyte25]

yep !!! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Bordtea]

I like pubs

[Winder]

Can we resurrect this please?
I know I've said it before but, I like pubs
(but not as much as Laurie)

[WayneL]

How would it work? Are we talking a normal meet, but at a pub? Or going to a pub and having a few beers?

[Spank86]

Presumably it's a lot like going to loomies but in a different location and with the possibility of a shandy and packet of pork scratchings.

WRONG! It's tucking the bike away for the evening and going to a boozer and having several pints and possibly a greasy kebab before getting the last train to where ever your from.

[Spank86]

In that case I'd be a bit wary about tucking my bike away anywhere. I'd be paranoid that it'd get stolen.

[StewartR]

Beer! Kebab!

Correct form is:-

1) Meet somewhere ---
2) Go for ride to nice pub--or meet at pre-agreed pub
3) Sit outside by river/field/model agency interview room and drink OJ while watching world go by--
4) ride home via convoluted route

The idea being you do something other than ride to Loomies and back!

However after a while you get fewer and fewer folks turning up and when they do it's in the car! It's just the way of forums unfortunately.

We used to have a fortnightly pub meet which started off being well attended then dwindled a bit and turned instead into a fortnightly pie meet which is no bad thing.

My calendar's a bit mad at the moment but while we have the light nights I'll try and arrange something unless someone else makes a decision before-hand. It's really not hard. Don't seek consensus, state a place and a time and those that want to come will come those that will never come will always suggest alternate times, locations, pie fillings etc and are best ignored anyway!

I struggle with pubs. I find it difficult to sit still and chat for too long. I'd probably be able to handle the model agency venue, but otherwise I get bored too easily. No slur on you lot. Ad (Spank) will testify to the fact I got bored of pubs about a year or two after I started getting served, and I never go out to any pubs anymore unless we are doing something (meal, bowling, pool, etc.). Will probably come out once or twice, but won't be a regular.

[WayneL]

Beer garden sounds good.

I very rarely drink so I'm happy to ride. We can sit around and chew the fat with a nice cool drink instead of queuing for 20 mins at Loomies for a cup of tea.

[Spank86]

Fallout knows I love a good beer garder, but I Also like to drink a lot when I'm sat in one, I'd be up for evening meets while the weathers nice if we're riding somewhere and sitting in a pub for an hour or so but would probably vanish after that.

Of course if we did arrange meets like that people could do whatever they want, it would just be a base to ride from for some, play it by ear and see how it goes.

I'm up for starting it, loomies is good but there's plenty of other good roads to enjoy too.

[DJ123]

Think we need to put our locations up so we know where we all are, then select locations to head to

[The Idle Biker]

I don't like going to pubs and not drinking, hold on I've never done it.
I'll try it once if it means a good ride there and back though. See how it goes.

It's fine during the day. But not drinking on an evening when everyone else is getting drunk is crap.

[Winder]

Well I was going to get the train to chosen location and drink beer and get the train home. If you want to do a ride out go to a cafe. Want to drink beer then go to a pub.
