Upcoming Forum Meet - Brighton, July 23rd 2011

^ good idea, it's probably only a minute or two walk away from OhSo. And massive at that.

Let's keep OhSo as the meeting place for now - there is inside space if we need it, I doubt many people will be at a beach bar if it's raining so there should be a fair bit of space! We can move up to Spoons if the weather gets really bad.

We will have 1 dog with us though so that needs to be thought about.

Certainly much nicer than the old Spoons. As for there being people there when it's raining... You'd be surprised!

OhSo's not a bad place. Just needs lots of sunlight. Then again two friends and I were once found not so sober there in the middle of a foul bout of rain. We were the only people there. This was before midday.

You're welcome to bring who you like! Generally we just sit and chat for most of the day, have a few drinks and get some food, etc, just chill out. There will be another meet in Birmingham in Sept and London in November! 🙂

It isn't the cheapest place you're right, but it's easy to meet at and we decided it ages ago so for the sake of everyone getting confused I'm not changing the meeting place now 😛😛 but we can definitely relocate later on when most people get there. As I say we will have 1 dog in the party so need to find somewhere dog friendly!

I am keeping all appendages crossed for the weather 🙂

Can we claim the dog is a hypo alert dog? 🙂

 

[shiv]

If you can get a jacket with 'hypo alert dog' on it I'm sure you could pass her off as one!

Interestingly a few years ago when I had a dog, I tried that one in a pub - they said they would let me as a one off, but next time I came I had to 'prove' she was a registered assistance dog as they didn't believe me (funnily enough!)

Hehe! Can anyone knit?

 

[rossi_mac]

I have no problem being at a beach bar in the rain! So I'll head for Brighton then the beach and using my nose will turn left or right to get to sohonoohsotho? Have a good rest of week and any way Hazel tells me it's gonna be sunny so no problem mes amigos!

 

[Freddie99]

Turn right at the pier Rossi and you'll be sorted.

 

[rossi_mac]

craking, cheers fella, now all I need to do is make it to Saturday and wake up knowing what day it is, easy😉😛

 

[Freddie99]

Should be, my body clock still thinks I'm working night shifts. By the way, if your feet are wet then you've gone too far.

 

[Hazel]

I'll bring a bucket and spade

Looking forward to seeing everyone

 

[shiv]

It's not a sand beach Hazel I don't think I've ever been so disappointed when I discovered that!

 

[Hazel]

oh silly me

 

[Freddie99]

Nearest proper sandy beaches are at Camber sands just outside Rye. Not too far from Brighton but it's in the arse end of no where.

I found that out too today! Was looking forward to sandcastles

Yes, it is rubbish really, especially when you are used to proper beaches like you get on the east coast of Yorkshire (Whitby, Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough where I spent most of my childhood holidays 🙂) The most remarkable beach I have been on is the Shell Beach on Herm island in the Channel Isles - yes, it's made up of tiny seashells! 🙂
