Time For Another Night Out?

[EmmaP]

It's that time of year again I guess when we really ought to meet up to talk bollox, get drunk and party. Now, the last two big nights out haven't been that well attended, so I am hoping that the rays of sun will bring a few more peeps out of the woodwork.

Chassis33 suggested that we go on a riverboat cruise. I quite like the old pub, food, pub, club routine myself, and can't imagine being stuck on a boat with you lot for a whole night (though I am assured by many it is a top night out) so... would appreciate other folks' thoughts.

As for dates, well July is just around the corner. How about these dates:

22nd July
EmmaP

29th July
EmmaP

5th August
EmmaP

I think I can make all of those dates. The reason for suggesting a cruise, or something different to the pub curry pub format is that a change of scenery may boost numbers thats all, presonally, good ale, good food and good companys give a good night out regardless of the scenery...just no clubbing in Browns please.

Bloke got murdered outside Brown's four weeks ago, on a Saturday night. Stabbed. Awful!

[williamp]

Great idea. Count me in for any of the three dates, although:

-22nd July. I have an Aston run during the day
-29th July. Silverstone historic, with Aston as the featured marque.

I'm also single again, so this could make a great night out.

Is that Coventry? Worries me - that's our usual, IF we go drinking in Cov.

As for dates - currently can do either 29th or 5th, but am waiting to hear on a friend's boat/bbq/bar evening which will probably be one of them.

No, Nottingham

The first Notts night out I went on a prick started mouthing off and being generally offensive towards me in Browns, thankfully (having read the above) his mates pulled him away as soon as I stood up to him. Not a nice experience, the first, and hopefully only time that will happen.

We usually get refused at Browns, but then I guess we do look like a group of the 'Forest Executive Crew' amungst a sea of students

[EmmaP]

Actually we did get refused at first

[FortJefferson]

A day out on a boat with a meal would suit me better than night in a smokey, noisey club, were you can't talk anyway. It's my age you know. John

[EmmaP]

I think that the river boat cruises are just in the evening. I must confess that I haven't looked into it that much. I thought that I would find out what most people fancied doing first.

[v15ben]

Definite maybe for me. I am back in Leeds but a little drive down to Nottingham would be a laugh. Pub for me rather than boat, last one of those I did was in Sydney and ended up with mass food poisoning!

Any date for me

Yeah, but to be fair, it was the 1st time we'd met

[Balmoral Green]

Oh, cant do the 5th, will be in Italy.

Cant say I fancy an e-coli cruise either, notoriously dodgy are small pleasure cruiser galleys.

[williamp]

excellent idea. We'll all go to Italy with Warren. I'm sure he wont our company...

Seriously, anothing sounds good by me. A riverboat sounds like a nice change.Is there a cricket 20/20 match on those nights? (if you havent been, its not boring: not like the stuff you see on TV at all, but realluy good fun. And with crowd pleasers like "if you vcatch the ball you'll win a years supply of beer", etc.

They are a great night out. And the Leicestershire cricket ground is spitting distance from where I live.

[v15ben]

Good thinking my friend, Trent Bridge has plenty of 20/20 too. It'll definitely be a change and we can go for food and beverages afterwards.

Sorry, you're not my type.

Think I'm in meant to be in Budapest on the 22nd
And there's a bit of a York(shire) PH do on the 29th for Bob The Planner's birthday

Other than that (i.e. August), I think I'm free...

[EmmaP]

So, given Williamp's and J_S_G's July commitments, and that BG is in Italy on the 5th August, is 12th August better?

[Balmoral Green]

Hmm, sounds like it may be difficult suiting everyone for this.

I will be in Italy for the 5th, 12th and 19th.

[EmmaP]

Arse!

So, shall we have it on the 5th, minus BG

or on 26th, when hopefully everyone can make it
