SW Xmas Meal

[Saguday]

Molly suggested this.

Anyone fancy a Crimbo get-together?

So far a weekend in Plymouth seems to be the choice, but with 1 dissenting voice (wonder who and where that was? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif ).

Any more?

 

[Saguday]

OK, I'll need to dig a bit more information out of you, since you're all being so coy:

 

[Saguday]

And while I have your attention, what sort of food?

 

[Saguday]

For those non-conformists wanting a venue outside Plymouth:

 

[Carolwildbird]

blimey.. too many polls! Maybe somewhere slightly easier to get to than turnchaple/PYH- somewhere just off A38? Mind you- not sure quite where!

 

[photodog]

How bout someplace a little bit up the M5.... maybe Tauntonish? Or Exeter would be nice, great hotel there, the Barcelona....... does excellent food as well.... and a great bar in the evening,


Hotel Barcelona.....

 

[Saguday]

Well, we live just north of Taunton so would be happy with that but felt it biased things a bit as the bulk of people are in the Devon/Cornwall area. Plus, I think it should be in a boaty location. We could always meet in Bristol but that might tread on the toes of the BCF folks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif (or we could make it a joint event!) Still think it would be a bit far for people in Cornwall etc.

Somewhere further up the M5 could make it into a decent size event. Wilts meets will drive for hours to get to a meet, so we don't do them often, as the county is quite large. An M5'ish meet could draw in a number of people that wouldn't normally go to Plymouth etc, but could exlude people from Cornwall that wouldn't drive that far.

Hotel Barcelona shuts sometime son for a 1 year refurb! All staff made redundant as announced in local rag yesterday.

The Bori is still imho one of the best pubs anywhere in Devon, great beer, good service and excellent pub grub at reasonable prices. What more can you ask for?

 

[Saguday]

Agreed, the only problem is on Saturday nights he has live music, which I wholeheartedly support, but for a bunch of yotties out for a natter it's a bit of a problem!

Trying to get anywhere decent between now and Christmas at a weekend may be an issue. I'm sure we'll come if available if it were held in Plymouth, but not flush enough at this time of year to manage an overnight stop if it is Taunton / Bristol area.

Ah but it's not every Saturday night. No music last Saturday, we know cos we were there! Need to look at his board to see what's on when. Will probably be there again some time tomorrow so I'll have a look.

 

[Saguday]

OK - let me know some suitably quiet dates /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Must admit, I haven't had much time to look for a venue over the several hundred square miles that may suit everyone.

I think its gonna be difficult to arrange a Xmas bash or meet up so late..... how bout on a weekend in late January/ early Feb? I will need to go down to check on the boat..... enough removed from Xmas to get past the hangovers... and something to look forward to mid off season....


How bout January 31st, The Cherub, Dartmouth.

Cherub


or....

Piermasters in the Barbican...

At the moment there's no bands booked for December but Barry(the landlord) said that could change.
