Thursday Night Club

Gone_Away · February 23, 2011, 11:11:42 PM

Hi Folks,

It seems to be a bit of a trend over the last couple of LANs that some folks are coming up on the Thursday to unwind and catchup before settling into the LAN festivities.

While the use of the LAN room is at the discretion of the hotel, it doesn't stop us from getting together and hitting the street of March and grabbing some food or just kick around the hotel for some beers.

I'll be around and about for sure but it would be good to get a list going so we could let the hotel know. We can always sort out the fine details later.

Is this after you have gone shopping again 7? or the real 7

See you on the Thursday, Karrde will be with me as well.

Gortex · February 24, 2011, 03:48:34 PM

Yer sounds like a good idea and will be up for stuff like that. Providing the place serves beer I am quite happy. Is there much to do in March? as have never been there.

Karrde · February 24, 2011, 09:04:35 PM

I'll be there, and Jon; March is like Petersfield but with a kebab shop.

Aye, you wait for April

Jokes aside, there's a kebab place (which is good according to Tea), a "super" market, a night club or two and some shops - there's a computing shop a couple of meters from the hotel for those wire emergencies (left whilst your back is facing Cromwell). That's all I know; others should have more info.

Depends who are with you, must say, sometimes there's nothing to do but everytime I've been there with the lads it was good fun.

Ninja Jon = Gortex :doh:

QuoteMarch is like Petersfield but with a kebab shop

That tells me

1, old very English town,

2, With a very dodgy night club with attendees just out of bed wetting (Whitey still does this so I hear) :narnar:

3, Kebab shop, that sells kebabs which should only be eaten when drunk and so anything tastes good.

4, Very good restaurants with many stars ***** but costing more money than my computer.

5, And several pubs some of which will be just what we need and serve good beer.

Its in the middle of the fens so should be fairly cheap with lots of "boy racers" in their modified novas.

All joking aside I have passed through a couple of times and it seems like a nice little sleepy town.

I got the thumbs up from work now so I can come =).

Count me in for the Thursday celebrations...

March. Hmmm, where to begin...

Yes, there's a kebab shop. Several of them actually, and they do pretty good pizzas.

Don't go to the night club, especially if FatBob invites you.

There are reasonable chinese & indian restaurants, but they're nothing special.

The pubs are ok, but frankly the bar at the hotel is better (real ales, reasonable prices, friendly staff and it's open 'till we fall alseep - what's not to like?).

There's also a ploughing museum for if you get really bored...

FatBob · February 25, 2011, 11:20:05 AM

I'll probably pop down for a swift half with ya Ninj....(i feel another Thursday night / Friday morning club moment coming on...i'll try not to break Smilodon this time i promise !)

The hotel has a Leisure Club attached (swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, gym) which is free so remember to bring some swimmers if you're into that sort of thing...

As others have said, there's a nightclub - Having seen the things that go in there I haven't been but I'm sure you'll have a chavtastic time if it's your thing

Not all the girls are quite that hairy.. and that's just the barnyard type...

I endorse this message.

and the ploughing referred to is not the sort that Pen wants to do to Amy:narnar:

Ah Ha! I found my old budgie smugglers last week. I may have to bring them.
