dMw Meet @ Great British Beer Festival - Friday 16th August

[Gandalf]

Man down I'm afraid. I'll be unable to attend now. Sorry chaps

[Gortex]

TL mentioned meet at 2:30 pm which seems a good time and then Ghost can catch up with us when he gets in or we can delay it by an hour or so. I assume we meet at the entrance or somewhere like that and exchange mobiles so we can contact each other.

I'm practising by drinking some German beers, ... currently on a smokebeer that tastes slightly bacon-y. I suspect I will still be on the aftertaste tomorrow morning...


Edit: I suspect the smokey aftertaste will remain for some time, necessitating the removal of the smiley face...

Once I'm in and got my pint glass I think I'll be heading to S50 to get a Cornish Pasty for my lunch and to soak up some of the incoming ale.    I think it would be great if we could nail down some seating in that area too for the rest of the day (it's a long session if you are standing the whole time), so how the 2.30pm crowd aims to meet there by the S50 pasty stand which is in the side hall (on the left as you enter the main hall)?    We could try to grab a table and some chairs perhaps before they are all gone.

I'd suggest GhostMjr gives us a call when he arrives and then we can let him know where we are in the hall at the time.

+1 for the pasty+chair plan :thumbup:

[Tutonic]

I like pasties. I also like chairs.

Can't see anything wrong with this plan.

Sounds good to me . I'll give you a call TL when I arrive. (I think I have your up to date number)

[smilodon]

Seem to have been hit with some nasty bug or something so I'm looking doubtful for tomorrow, sorry.

Time to man up, and kill it with beer.

See you there tomorrow folks.....

[Chaosphere]

Sorry guys family thing has come up last minute, can't make it down tomorrow

Enjoy the beer

Oh and Tut, while we're talking beer... I checked out The Ginger Man in NY, a few times... it was the street up from my hotel. Incredible place... Cheers for the recommendation!!!

[TeaLeaf]

See everyone there at around S50, or post up on this forum where when you arrive, we'll then post where we are and hook up.

[Blunt]

Have a great day on Friday, I'll be gagging for a pint around 2.00 if you want to have one for me.

[Tutonic]

In time honoured dMw tradition, I'll wander around asking people if they've seen Gandalf Lord Of Jelly.

[Gortex]

Drinking trousers on, fake boobs on standby and the little goblin song practiced few times.

See you there

Hope you have fun guys.

Stuck at a client's near Tower Bridge and pretending to be working while idly fantasising about all those lovely ciders.

Have a great day.
