The Nottingham Chapter (Revisited)
 

Sorry Guys and Gals, I've been away for a few days.

I've had a few replies and due the impending Crimbo it's been suggested that we meet mid January, any thoughts?

If you could post your replies here so I know who's interested in a little food and refreshment in a suitable location mid Jan I'll get on the case.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you all.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer !!!! C'mon guys lets get this Nottingham thing rolling. We are blessed with being in one of the best places in the UK to socialise over some bevvies.

What a great opportunity to put faces to names and share info & ideas about the one thing we all know we want out of life.

surely it can't hurt that much to say yes ?

Could I suggest the West Side of Nottingham? i.e somewhere like Risley, Sandiacre, Long Eaton. Gives me a better chance of getting Mrs QNH to drive me home. (Gave up sleeping in gutters years ago.)

Anywhere in town is fine by me. Have a good christmas and I hope next year brings better luck on the job front for us all !!!!
Cheers all.

PS, Mr Clough, can`t you sort out your football team please. Wednesday was poo !!!

Any time/date/place is fine for me. Mid Jan sounds great.

How much do you reckon a taxi to Retford would cost? :)

Cheers

Ok Guys and Gals,

I will put some ideas together and mail you all.
TRIMMTAB are you still in?

Anyone read 02FO - what the hell are you doing on here then, you know its not allowed !

Schooner,

terribly sorry about Wednesday night - I went to the game half way through my works do and was completely trashed by half time - bit like the team. You can't account for an injury list like that but hopefully young David will turn things around again with a bit of financial help.

Let's get some bevvies in, maties!! :)

Count me in, Trent Bridge end if you can!

------------------
Me, sweat? I'm that cool, it's condensation.

Anywhere in the city centre near Shimla Pinks' (Indian), or Trent Bridge (Italian), or Mansfield Road (Encounters). Let's go for it. Be nice to put faces to names.

(The students can get the first round in!) Cheers, guys, and merry Christmas! :)

Great response,

Looks like we got ourselves a convoy!!!

I'll post shortly after Christmas with a few ideas (I need to get a map of Nottingham out to try and keep everyone happy) and maybe try and match a few up with a carshare/taxi.

In the mean time keep posting, keep smiling and keep flying the right way up.

Seasons greetings to you all, have a safe one.

How does Saturday the 20th January 2001 sound?

Pencil it in your diaries and I will arrange a venue depending on numbers etc...

TBL

------------------

Well I don't know any of you huys from here but I am in Nottingham?!?. Am I welcome to meet some fellow studes??.

Thats the idea :).

As far as I know, I'll be just about the only one not from Nottingham itself (I live in Retford).

DC and I - no probs. Looking forward to it.

------------------
Me, sweat? I'm that cool, it's condensation.

The Pitcher and Piano has been suggested as a central point, does anyone have any objections?

TBL

------------------

Just thought I'd bring it to the top again :).

Can I be involved in this piss up please??I'm a nottingham lad myself. The pitcher and piano will be a goodplace to meet apart from its size, Alter ego would probably be better as it is smaller and less busy...except on a Saturday

P & P - excellent choice, and good grub.

------------------

And an easy crawl to taxis in Slab Square afterwards!

OK guys, as TBL is not allowed to look at the internet anymore (His IT dept. unsportingly decided it was about time he did some work for a change) I thought I'd post about the current state of affairs.

Saturday January 20th - Pitcher & Piano (sorry for those of you who wanted somewhere a bit further out but you know it makes sense to meet in town). This pub gets busy on a saturday night - so how are we going to recognise each other ? TBL reckons he's going to carry a balloon around with him with the Pprune logo on it - could be fun.

If we are eating at the P&P (I'll check if they do food on a saturday night) then we'll reserve a table and post on here whereabouts it is.

All who have posted on this thread asking if they can join in - of course you can - the more the merrier.

Cheers

I should be along on the 20th at the Pitcher and Piano. I think Brian Clough will be posting the exact details here soon, as far as I know at the moment it is 7.30pm at the P&P.

Count me in also guys. (should have joined in this thread earlier. P&P fine with me

------------------
VNE or nothing

Is there some reason why i can't see my posts to pprune? I definately sent one to this thread.
Anyway, I will be coming on the 20th, I will be coming from Newark on the day, anyone else travelling from that direction? Not sure whether driving, or train.

Exact details:
Pitcher and Piano, Nottingham.
7.30pm, saturday 18th Jan.
Table booked upstairs for Peter Prune.

See you all there. :)

Greetings to all who live in the worlds best city.......

Please can I come to the bash too please ?

I live in Farnsfield and am a rotorhead....hope you wont hold that against me......

Excuse my ignorance.....Piano and Pitcher is where exactly? (Old pub been re-named perhaps?)

MM

Its difficult not to have noticed the Pitcher & Piano if you still live in the city.

By car, if you go round Broad Marsh and head in to town (up towards Hockley) you have a rather large church on your right hand side. To get to it simply turn right at Weekday Cross (at the Tapas bar) and you really can't miss it. Basically its the huge church in the Lace Market.

If you want to attend and still don't know where I'm on about e-mail me and I'll send you a map.

I will post directions and final numbers next week on here anyway.

Hope this helps

If people don't know where the P&P is then just say, and I can meet you somewhere easy to find before and show you where to go, just let me know on here.

Are wives / girlfriends / partners going or is it too risky for them to find out what we spend on training ?

Can someone bring their sister?

Manogomy leaves a lot to be desired.

I don't know what others think about people bringing non wannabees to the Nottingham bash http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif ?
I don't see a problem except that if we have a table booked at the P & P we need to know how many people will be there, so need to know from the organisers, TBL? Mr Clough? any ideas?
http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif

Who's actually coming on the 20th then?

So we can get some ideas of numbers.

I will be there definitely..plus maybe one of my colleagues at tghe flying school.....see you all soon.

I am sure we will have a good night..I should be able to get us into a club for nought afterwards if nobody wears jeans...Come smart and it SHOULD be a freebie!!!

See you soon

Cuteyxxxx

I'll be coming with 2 others.

All,

I have compiled a list of e-mail addresses of attendees and I sent out a standard e-mail last week. Some replied mentioning bringing others and some did not. People are of course welcome to bring others with them but I will need to know as soon as possible. This is because I have booked the table and if more people are coming than I have booked for - some will be disappointed. Of course, you may wish to attend later and not eat, if so, look out for my post later and you'll know where to find us.

I have a total count and list of names which I will post on Wannabees later on (today hopefully)along with directions and times etc.

Great news on the club thing for those who are interested.

Cheers,

BC

I will be there - coming from Worcestershire.

Not sure if TimC includes me with his two others?

See you on Saturday evening.

PFO

PFO: No :). I'm coming from the north (Retford) with 1 person who posts on pprune and one who does not. I have never met either :).

See you all on the 20th http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/cheers.gif

How are we all going to recognise each other? http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/wavey.gif

[This message has been edited by TimC (edited 15 January 2001).]

PFO: Got a mail from Helen. I think she's counting you as the third person, so to speak.

Not sure how many are coming with me now :), I'll post an update soon(ish).

Are some people driving there on saturday then? I have no other way of getting there, and just didn't want to be the only one not drinking!!
