Title: Three Towns Forum Members Get Together.
Post by: Fester on September 27, 2011, 11:37:47 pm
Dear All,

What seems like a million years ago now, about 10 of us Forum characters got together for a great night of booze and banter.
It was held in The King's Head.

Since then we have dallied with the idea of doing it again... but nothing has transpired.

So, I would like to propose that we do it in tandem with a Xmas night out.  Partners should also be welcomed.

I further propose that we avail ourselves of the rather excellent Xmas buffet menu in the Fat Cat.
I sampled it tonight, and it really is first class. The menu is here.
http://www.fatcatcafebars.co.uk/content/Christmas_Parties_at_Fatcats.aspx (http://www.fatcatcafebars.co.uk/content/Christmas_Parties_at_Fatcats.aspx)

For £7.00 you get lots of choice, but for an extra £3.00, you can add two more items of your choice and it really becomes a feast.
I don't mind acting as 'Social Secretary' for this, as everyone knows where I am... they can pop and see me anytime on the Pier.
To prevent this drifting, I would propose three potential dates... as follows.
Novenber 27th
December 3rd
December 8th.
Perhaps if Dave or Ian could set up a 'poll' we could see which one was most popular... and I could get it booked?

I reckon we could easily double the numbers who turned out last time, and I hope those who came before would agree it was a great night.

Thoughts?

What an excellent suggestion, Fester?

May I also propose an earlier luncheon at the Rest and Be Thankful Café on Thursday, 10 November followed by a private viewing of the Wales Rally GB starting after 2.30pm?

I would much prefer to hand over £20 (or less) to Ian rather than to CCBC.

Excellent idea Mr Man.  I will definitely come.  It was really nice putting faces to names last time.  Looking forward to it  ;D

I can't see the buffet menu  :rage:  only one with fancy stuff at £20 each :o :o  (I'm an egg and chips type  :laugh: )  Can anyone else see the buffet menu?  I'm up for it if there is simple non meat grub at the right price!

No, I could'nt get the buffet menu either.  The "PDF" was highlighted for the expensive meals but was just shown as normal for the buffet, I imagine that is why we are unable to click on to it

Post by: Fester on October 16, 2011, 07:31:48 pm
I'll ignore the one from Micox, tempting though it is..

Wrex, I believe that the meet-up, (if it happens) will probably be a smaller affair than I had envisaged.
Too many 'ifs','buts' and obstacles came back via this thread, so I was tempted to forget it.
Also, the preferred date from the poll is my daughters birthday, so I couldn't even make that night myself!

I'll consider what to do over the next couple of days and come back to all who are interested.

Title: Re: Three Towns Forum Members Get Together.
Post by: Fester on October 21, 2011, 08:49:34 pm
Going by the responses I have seen, (in terms of dates, food and drinking) ...and then taking my own circumstances into account.. I see that weekend dates are not convenient to most.
Also, the venue for last times meet up turned out to be unexpectedly popular.

I now propose;  THURSDAY 1st DECEMBER ...... KING'S HEAD ..... 8pm

This will afford those who like a bit of quiet to have a music free atmosphere, there will be no need for any payments for food, or deposits for any reason.   Just a good natter, a booze up for those who are inclined, and a chance to put more faces to names.

Title: Re: Three Towns Forum Members Get Together.
Post by: Yorkie on October 23, 2011, 08:37:20 am
I don't think that would be much use =  the idea (as I understand it) is for us ALL to meet each other.  With 14 votes that could be 9 at one meeting and 5 at the other, or any combination of two integers that add up to 14!   ZXZ

Unless, of course, the boozers meet on the 1st and the TT's on the 8th!    :D    _))*

Post by: Yorkie on November 23, 2011, 08:46:10 am
Will the xmas lights be on if i walk up to the kings head,it will be december >>>

Yes of course they will (quote from LTC)!  Ah but - Oh, hang on a minute, give me a moment, well, I think maybe they will, but then again, maybe they won't, it all depends; on what I haven't a clue, but I do remember we talked about some lights in the Chamber.   But then again was that the Chandelier for the Town Clerk's Office?   (Must make a mental note to place advert to see if we can get someone to play it during meetings.)  Anyway, back to the lights, now where was I, Ah yes, lights.  The ones at Mostyn Champneys leading onto Conwy Road are useless - only on for 8 seconds!    But thats a bit of a consolation as the Xmas lights haven't even flickered yet.    Was it this year we were going to put them up for, or next?  I know we did ask for plenty of lead time.

We actually wrote to Santa and asked him when he was going to have Xmas this year but it seems that we have not had a reply, so I suppose this is the reason for the delay.   If nothing has happened in the next 4 weeks we will convene a "Special Meeting" of the Decorative Lighting Committee and try to put in some emergency measures.  Maybe get the Olympic Torch round the town to add a bit of atmosphere.   I suppose we could ask everyone to just bear with us this year and double our effort for the next.    Oh gosh! Just remembered there is an election in a few months time so there may not be many of us left!   C'est la vie!

Light a candle for us!    Please!   $walesflag$

So sorry not to be able to meet up with everyone. I should have been due back today but I had to alter my plans to come back later because I wanted to attend a friend's funeral before the trip. It would have been great to match up names and faces.
I hope there will be another opportunity and that you all have a great evening.

Do you mean the bit up the stairs? 

I was beginning to wonder how we were going to recognise each other.  I wasn't sure that it would be a good idea wandering around the pub and saying to complete stangers "Hello, I'm Blodyn"! 

Look forward to meeting you all.

Blodyn, Mrs F has arrived home, and she will recognise you...

But more to the point; last time we found ourselves in the quiet corner, up the stairs on the right-hand side of the pub.
The right hand side being the closest to the tram tracks.

Lets hope we are lucky enough to get that space again.
I didn't book anything with the pub because I was not sure of numbers,and we aren't eating anything so its informal.

Many thanks to; Snowcap, Curly Cap, Barbiroli, Dwsi, The Medz, Blodyn, Nemesis, Pendragon, Merddin Emrys, Quiggs .. and the various wives who turned out tonight.

Great night folks-- enjoyed meeting you all. Sorry to be first to break up the party, but I knew that our guest was ready to leave and so I would have someone to walk home with. Good job too as we met a very drunk and as usual abusive 'Joey' on the way down-- he was coming up the hill as we walked down. :o

Yes -- let's do it again!

I hope none of you were too worried by the Council spies who came to see who all these people were who say such nasty things about them on the Forum!  They probably had miniature cameras poking through their button holes and lapels, and small directional "listening" devices!  As everyone knew where you would be sitting even the tables could have been bugged! 

The next Council Meeting could be interesting!   Maybe it will be held "in camera".   _))*    :P

Just joking folks!  Hope you had a good time and sorry I missed it.

     What can I say?   I was delayed returning from outpatients at Glan Clwyd---but I COULD have made it, just.  It was raining, I was cold, but there is no dodging the main point.
    The venue was licensed premises. I COULD have driven, no problem. But I knew the temptation would have been too great. So it would have been a taxi back (£15/£20 I would imagine, and a bus back in the morning to get the car.
   The alternative was four long walks and two probably longish waits at a bus stop.
   Not my nature to let people down, but I did -- so going to bury my head in shame.  Sorry   Mike

Mike, don't worry, we would have been happy to give you a lift.
We had a great night, thanks to Hollins, Blodyn and Nemesis for braving the bad weather! Myself and Erindoors greatly enjoyed your company!  Next year we must set it up sooner and hopefully more forum members can attend!  ZXZ

sorry i was not able to make it, really enjoyed meeting you all last year but Thursday is my lodge night and very hard to give up, Friday would have been a goer why not try again in the spring when the weather may be a little kinder, Glad to see those that did make it had a good night, look forward to seeing you in the new year

Lodge night eh?   Hmmm, sounds like another Masonic plot to keep members from meeting.... I KNEW IT!!

I noticed that several other 'Brother Masons' were strangely unable to make it last night too.  ?{}?

Lovely to see you all last night, despite the terrible weather and great to meet you for the first time Hollins. Got home without getting soaked, but then got heavily peppered with a hailstorm taking the dog out later on. Grrr.
Sorry to miss you Mike, but you did the right thing-- it really was atrocious.
Hope to see the others who couldn't come next time we have a meet up.
Cheers all

Perhaps I should have apologised for not attending earlier but presumed the place would be filled to capacity with the Three Towns Members.   I have a phobia about pubs and hate the smell of the malt and the hops.  The last time I actually visited a pub for a drink was many years go and probably at someone's funeral!

Hope you all had a good time.    _))++ +}}{-- _))++ +}}{-- _))++ +}}{--

The King's Head would have been crowing at the profits. I don't normally frequent pubs and was quite shocked at the prices. -- just short of £5.50 for an orange juice and a pint of beer. (A regular guest was going there too, so we walked up together and I bought her a pint.) Aaaagh !

We also rarely go in pubs, too dear! we have only been in that one three times, all for the forum meet ups! Usually one drink lasts me all night! We have really enjoyed these meets though  D)

It isn't just pubs !
On my train trip on Weds. it cost me an arm and a leg for a bottle of Lucozade and a packet of crisps on Piccadilly Station. I happened to notice as I was waiting to pay that a small bottle of water was priced at £1.75. I buy sparkling water in Asda for 17p a 2 litre bottle.

Think I am turning into a dinosaur. :o

But today, I think I completed the full set.  I was visited by HUGO, and what a very delightful chap he is.  :)

Nice to meet you Sir, it was a pleasure.

 There has'ent been a post here for a long time. Some of you will remember that we had a meeting up here on the golf course but to put it bluntly it was a bit of a flop because as far as I remember the weather turned bad. Probably wind and rain. Get plenty of that here.
  Anyway, I am sure none of us fancy a repeat. So seeing that the weather is so unpredictable I would like to throw an embracing invitation to all and every member of the forum to come along here any time they like, presumably on a sunny day, and have a chat and try your hand on the golf. No need to make plans. Just come on impulse, anytime.
  I know several members of course. However some I only know by forum name. To save any embarrassment by my bringing them down with a rugby tackle because I think they are just strangers helping themselves to a free round or two, just mention the forum.
  Look forward to seeing a few of you, and I will get the kettle on.  Mike

Post by: Michael on May 29, 2016, 07:14:54 pm
Thanks Hugo look forward to seeing you.
 On this subject, I have received a what you might say interesting email direct to me. Because he is frightened of the forum moderators. Or she I suppose. He/she goes under the name of a biscuit firm I have not heard of for years. And it's spelt wrong. Must try and remember the biscuit salesmen I dealt with fourty years ago.
 Anyway I can make a guess or two about him/her. He reads the forum avidly.he likes to insult people he think are overweight. And he also likes to insult people who thinks are underweight. He hates golf. But, thank goodness, there are two forum members who he hates more than me.
  I cannot reply to him not that I particularly want to. But return emails are sent back.  Mike
P.s.oh, and seeing as he uses it as a comparison, he appears to know the taste of his own urine.

Sorry Ian. To be honest I don't know the difference between a moderator and an administrator but, thinking about it, I can guess. But, on his own admission, he is frightened that his beloved message is going to be altered or deleted.
  But I don't give a damn. I have better things to do with my time thank you. Last words anyone will read from me on this subject. Mike
