Xmas Central Norwich meet 20th Dec

[Weso]

Dear all,

freddie and myself are meeting a visiting area secretary from another area on the evening of 20th Dec in central Norwich.
Venue still to be arranged and discussed.
Appreciate it's the thursday before xmas and Norwich likely to be busy with shoppers and cars etc.
We just thought we would offer it to other local members to gauge interest at this stage. It is possible that subject to enough interest we could book a table at a public house with a car park and take things from there. Needless to say the cars will not feature as such on the night, just a opportunity to meet some faces and have a meal with some good company.
Please use this thread to express your interest and any comments re a suitable venue.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,
I would like to have attended, if it comes to fruition, but I'm booked else where.

See you in the New Year. :christmas:

Thanks Beejay, will give some thought to the new year.

Plans are already underway with a likely "T4 and a man" attending.

Have a good xmas

Hi Mark
Thanks for arranging this..
Let me know what time and where.
My wife (Jan) will be with me as we plan to do some last minute shopping in the afternoon and she would love to have some other girls to chat to so please bring your wives/partners if they would like to come along..
Cheers Ian

[Weso]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for adding to the thread, looking forward to meeting you on the night,
I don't have a wife or partner to bring along on the night, might see what i can find on the walk to venue!!....:xmas-smiley-029:

Have a good time and I will see you all in the new year.

A local Pub to me is The Griffin Pubic House in Thorpe St Andrew , NR7 , Has recently Re-Opened , Has a LARGE car park , Hot & Cold Food , Also ok for those with kids that want to come along??


:christmas: :rifle:

[freddie]

I'm like a Martini any time any place any where:xmas-smiley-029:

[Weso]

Thanks for that, might prove easier than parking in central Norwich on late night shopping night,

Thanks

Mark:xmas-smiley-029:

[freddie]

Seems to have a large car park.
With only a week to go maybe set a dead line Mark in time to book as its a busy time of the year.

[Snaggy]

There phone number is 01603 436051 , I'm sure they be happy fir us to be there :-):xmas-smiley-029:

[davidcarp]

Unfortunately, I'm working a late shift so I can't make it. Looking forward to all getting together soon.

[Weso]

Thanks all, will phone that venue tomorrow, will try to get a table for around 6.30pm? reckon about 5 people subject to any more coming out of the woodwork in next 24 hours or so.
Think a pub slightly out of town with a free car park makes more sense.
Most can find this sort of place with just a postcode etc,
Should allow Redfive (Ian) to have some time in Norwich shopping prior to driving to the pub for a relaxing evening. Will check with venue tomorrow,
and do another count up tomorrow. Partners are welcome and actively encouraged, i am still to find one but working on it......:xmas-smiley-029:

(Norwich Members look out for a pm from me re a T4 at next meet to be arranged for next year)

[Ian G]

I would have liked to come along, but I am working a late shift, so I will not make it!

Have a good time and I will see you all in the new year.

Rob
Thats a shame Rob all that firefrost in one place would have looked good..
Cheers Ian

[Jay]

Thanks Mark for setting this up, and Snaggy for the destination. Good call.
Thursday the 20th at the Griffin at 18:30 sounds good to me. Might be +1 (a friend)
See you there:xmas-smiley-029:

[Weso]

Hi all,

Could someone assist, swiftly

Re the Griffin Pub
The number Snaggy advised is a private address 01603 436051

Web suggests 01603 436071 as does Directory enquires this is unobtainable!

Web also suggests 01603 439211 also unobtainable

Even a BT operator cannot get through on 01603 436071

Any chance someone else could bring some research into this!
Are we sure the pub is trading at the minute...

We want to reserve a table for circa 8 at 6.30pm in the name of the club if possible.


Regards

Mark:xmas-smiley-029:

[Snaggy]

[Snaggy]

It's a shame (for me) this isn't during Christmas week as I would have liked to have popped along, I'm not down in Norwich till Christmas day.

Have good time.

Simon

[Weso]

That's a shame Simon,

I might have more time to meet you in the new year:xmas-smiley-029:

Found out i am on 3 months "gardening Leave" from the 31/12/12:huh:

A story for another day!!

Regards to all!

Mark

[sikelsh]

Flipping Eck Mark, a year for you to write off I suspect. :huh:

Take care and ill catch you in the new year no doubt

Simon

[freddie]

Sorry to here that Mark always seems to come at the worst possible time.

[Weso]

Thanks Freddie,

not ideal obviously, i have been lucky, i am 52 yrs of age and have never been unemployed.
Not sure how i am going to amuse myself, might get myself a Haynes manual and have a tinker.
Seriously i have almost 18 years service and a 4 month notice period.
Hoping they might find me a role in the same building, there might be a opportunity, things will become clearer in the new year.
In the meantime i am looking forward to a lot of spare time and a very fat redundancy cheque in April.
Reckon enough for another 28 ZT's if i felt so inclined, one is enough at the minute!....

Looking forward to tomorrow night, i need some adult company and a change of scenery.....

Regards to all
