North Wales Frostbite meeting.....

OK guys (& gals), I have spoken to Les (the Steward at the Royal Welsh) and he will be delighted to offer you our hospitality. You will, of course, need to sign in, but the Guiness is good, they have Jamesons & Laphroiag plus some reasonable wines in small bottles (or big ones if you prefer to buy in bulk!) plus some fancy bottled beers. So at least we will have somewhere warm to go (after Foos? - but not too late, the bar closes at 11) just in case Haydn's heater won't roast the chestnuts.

Haydn & Kwaka know the way & it's closer to the dock than it is to the river.

Edit; err, it's actually a well stocked bar, I have only mentioned the highlights - not the entire stock!

How many for Foos?

Does anyone who's been to Foos know what our chances are of getting a table(s) on Sat. night?
As an alternative does Les do food?

I will make enquiries. Foo lives next door to one my houses along the dock, but I won't get to see him until Friday. But I know one of the Sat night waitresses and can call her.

How many do we reckon?
 
Royal Welsh can do toasties & pizzas as snacks, but if we are mob-handed & Les is on his own, it will be difficult to set them up. With current H&S regs only people who have done a Kitchen Hygene course can use the microwave or toaster:confused: They do have members that are top rated chefs, but they do events on a voluntary basis & I fear we have left too little notice as I assumed most were going to Foo's.

There is a superb British chippy along Bangor Street, not far from the Celtic Royal Hotel. Not the Chinese in the square or the Kebab house at the Square end of Bangor Street (although I'm sure they are fine at what they do).

Black Boy does food, but is not big, Anglesey Arms is the same.

I'll ask if ten + is a problem.

My spies tell me that Mucky Farter limped into Dinorwic on one engine this afternoon. Hope the old girl is okay.

He He! I know I know!!!

There is a limping diesel mechanic looking at her at this moment.......... apparently it's seems to be a simple problem to fix, no doubt H will let us know.

I have said that if it cant be fixed and he only has one engine Little Ship will race him to Victoria Dock

Dont think H could see the funny side of that last night......

Bump!

What time are we meeting?

OK. Just talked to Little Ship.
We intend to assemble at 'The Doc' at 13.30 Hours on Saturday the 14th of November 2009:)

Tiss on yer Port Side at the bottom of the drive down to the Marina.
Parking is available on yer Starboard side.

A liquid lunch is the preference at that Time.
Then an hour or three of 'Boat Inspections' and a General Survey of the layout and facilities in the immediate area.

18.00 hours a further visit to the 'Doc' is proposed for further liquids and solids for those that desire such intake:rolleyes:

That is the 'Plan' that L Ship and I suggest.

'Plan' is used rather loosly.
Tom, L Ship was worried if there no basic stucture whatsoever that MC would empty His drinks cabinet.

Mucky Farter is tucked down the Canal a bit (Tom is opposite the Pub by the way) so I might sneek up on hlb.
There is usually a spare packet of fags aboard plus the odd gallon of scotch or two!;):)
 
Incidently.
'The Doc'

Y Cei, is the name above the door.
Should not be a prob for all you Nautical and expert navigating types.
Tiss the only boozer come eating place on the Marina!
 
Now I know I'm not a Welsh speaker, but Y Cei would be The Quay, would it not? So why call it the Doc, which is short for the Doctor? I could, just about, accept the Dock, although that is still very different from a Quay.

Sigh, :rolleyes: it's hard enough translating Kwaka's English, but having to interpret his Welsh as well could be a task too far.

Have a good day, I had thought I might be down on my own this Saturday, but family have decided they will risk it anyway - so I may not be able to break away - and anyway, someone wil have to apologise to Les at RWYC!
 
Don't know where 'The Doc' came from.
Think Little Ship coined the name.

Tiss, Y Cei

Correct tiss The Quay wot translates to Saes.

Kidnapping can be arranged.
Thats a promise any any language!
Gis a bell if that service is required.

Dammit Man, you are so close it would a real shame not to see You.

Like, I could teach yer some Welsh and stuff innit !
 
I'll see if I can persuade them all to pop in for a bite in the evening. But I have to take care of swmbo, she has a head cold (which she thinks is swine flu) and Sea Rush is on the wall without a ladder, so getting her aboard would be quite a challenge on a nice sunny day when she is in a good mood . . .

I may need Haydn's blue rope to lower her down :eek:
