Hi all

I had been discussing with Dave (UCM) trying to get those of us local in Dorset together for a meet-up and in the cirumstances some of them have indicated that we should still go ahead, partly in Dave's memory.

So, there's me, Wassup, Bambino and Jiser (when he checks his PM's).

The proposal is to meet at the Angel Inn pub in Ferndown (http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/pubs/pubwalks/angelinn.asp) who do good food and a reasonable ale selection, date and time to be confirmed but before Xmas.

However, as we will not have Dave around to join us it seems sensible to open this up to any other forum members who'd like to head to Dorset for the GTG to pay their respects.

Post here if you're interested and if anyone wants to travel down there are plenty of Travel Lodges and the like in the area and I can give some details out.

Thanks

DS

I'm up for it for sure.

*only found out about UCM tonight, so I'm still in a bit of a shock about his passing*

 

let me know a date and i will see if i can make it

i have to meet some mates in Poole anyway so ill see them at the same time

 

As i said in my Pm to you DS i'd love to but cant this year (Xmas in teh way). And I havent been to Poole for years (at lesat since a kid) so would have been nice, and no better reason than to toast a missed friend.

 

I'll be there as well - as long as the date isn't pre-booked.

I'll definitely like to raise a glass (or 10) the the memory of UCM.

Harry.

 

Ok then folks how about next week on the Thursday evening (that's the 4th) ?

For those that want some night-life afterwards, Bournemouth is about 10/15 mins away.

Oh, and why the Angel ? Well this extract from PM's with UCM :

UKDS :The Angel is nice in Ferndown and we could grab a bite there too (nice gourmet burger - yum!)


UCM : mmmmm...

UCM :good idea!

So I'll def be having a burger for Dave

 

4th sounds good here. I have been past The Angel countless times, but never actually been in there

 

Er - not a weekend? That would make it almost impossible for me because of the distance. (2 to 3 hours each way)

Harry.

 

Hey guys I am up for it. Any day good for me. Always time for beer

Leme know the details.

 

Sorry Harry, wasn't thinking. Originally this was only going to be 3 or 4 of us locals getting together. That pub does get v busy too on Fri and Sat nights as the food is good (it's not a spit 'n' sawdust type place ). Bearing in mind many places also start to get booked up early Dec for Xmas outings if it's going to turn into a full-on GTG then we'd better sort numbers and date v quickly so I can get alternative venue.

So, c'mon people, reply on this thread ASAP !

No probs - I hadn't really taken in that it might be a 'local' night. I just wanted to lend support to a GTG, and particularly as a tribute to UCM.

I'm in Manchester for the weekend of the 13th/14th but otherwise can make any weekend.

Harry.

 

Ok, we'll stick with the Thursday 4th unless there's a lot of out-of-towners who reply over the weekend saying they'd come if it was held on a Sat (with apologies to Arro and Harry).

What about the Hampshire guys ? Fancy popping across the broder ?

 

Are there any times decided on this one yet?

 

I'll finalise this and confirm later today/tonight.

 

Cool

 

I would have went to this one if it wasnt such short notice. I guess we will raise a glass or 2 for UCM at the next GTG

 

Ok, so assuming the following can make it :

UKDarkstar
Jiser
Wassup
Bambino
Founder10

and anyone else who's passing

Meet at The Angel Inn, Ferndown (Map/address here for Flounder)

Suggestion is to meet 7.30/8pm. I'll probably get there a bit early and I'll stand a CertForums logo on the table as I haven't met any of you yet

PM me or email for any other directions/instructions.

 

I pass the pub everytime i come down to Poole anyway

I shall be over the Poole way in the afternoon and then ill trundle back to Ferndown closer to the time
