Club Arnage

Calling all North West CAer's, time to put a date in the diary and choose the venue for the next meet ;D

Back to the Cheshire Cat ??? Will allow suitable mooring facilities for the Liverpool Boys.

JG

Count me in :)

Any time November should be fine, December can do most of it :)

Sounds good to me.... will see about booking the 4 poster once a date is fixed!  ;D

Can't do rest of October. 

OK for November and first weekend of December. 

Cant do rest of December!

F

I should be able to make it anytime !!

dad said he will come along aswell :)

Excellent!

I should be able to make it in Nov/Dec,I don't know about the rest of the Boys. We will have to see what dates are talked about.

Mike

How about we pick Saturday 21st November as first choice.   

If anyone cant make that, we could go for Saturday 28 November as fall back position!

F

Fran, the 21st is good for me ;D, 28th is a no good, next free Saturday would the 5th Dec.

JG

same as Jules for me :)

Can't do 21st - checked with the boss, but can do 28th. 

But need to check 5th Dec, - will do and come back

I will wait for final date to be agreed, then see if I am available. Brian

Any for me, looks like 5 Dec at present then?

fine by me the 5th

Just awaiting the go ahead from Neil's social secretary!!   ;D

Just checked with my boss social secretary,

5th Dec is OK with me

So it looks like Sat Dec 5th, is this OK with everyone?

Saturday 5th Dec -

Neil
Kev & Dad (barry)

Looking back it seems like:

Saturday 5th Dec -

Neil
Kev & Dad (barry)
Gordon
Fran
Jules

So if the Liverpool Boys can do a ring around and see how many can make the 5th, I will go ahead and book a table at the Cheshire Cat in the next day or so.

Obviously new attendees always welcome if anyone wants to join in!  ;D

F

It's in the diary ;D

Just checked my dates and i appear to be free on the 5th December so also add me to the list. Cheshire Cat was good for the first meet so will be a good choice again.

Looking forward to it again.

Excellent news Chris.

Roll Call so far :

Saturday 5th Dec -

Neil
Kev & Dad (barry)
Gordon
Fran
Jules
Chris

Liverpool Boys - TBA

so whats the latest?  ???

I gather that we're looking for somewhere else to meet up Kev. If it's on the canal then the next pub down has some moorings, The Trooper. Never eaten there but I hear it's OK ?

Sorry guys, for the late response, but I have been away, I am sorry but I am away again on the chosen date, but have one for me.
Brian

Thats a shame Brian - any other Liverpool Boys available?  ???

Anyway - after my recent ramblings... are we agreed on the Harkers Arms?

  (http://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/harkers)

There is a decidedly dodgy looking B&B just at the top of the stairs right by the canal there!!

F

OK by me Fran, and Ben may be coming as well !!

But can your canal boat come out to play?  :)

ill be there and with my dad to :)

strangely enough we had a flyer from the harkersarms today  :) Mums jealous i think now!

Venue is fine with me, i am happy to go with the general census, just as long as i can find the place but thats what the internet is for isn't it.

Hi All ,
Sorry I can't make the date I like Brian will be away(not with Brian) :(

Mike

Right as we seem to have gone a bit quiet,  I have decided to take charge! -   ;D

I have booked a table for 8 people at 7.00-7.30 at the Harkers Arms, Chester.

http://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/harkers/

Attending:

Fran

Chris

(Sadly doesnt look like any of the Liverpool Boys can attend)

Hope thats ok with everyone - let me know if there is any problem.

F

P.s.  havent decided yet about booking the dodgy B&B by the canal!

Well done Fran, someone needed to put their foot down with a firm hand !!
Sounds good to me !

Kev & Barry will be there :) my dads friend said he might come along aswell if thats ok with everyone?

No I won't, I try to avoid going further north than the Thames ;)

You don't know what you're missing!

:)

Oh we do! Pig's trotters, dripping on toast and brawn surprise I'll warrant!

Ohh - The Harkers isnt as posh as that, not one of your poncy southern type of restaurant!

F

What is the parking situation for the Old Harkers Arms ?

If this you Chris, watching ?   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . sorry I'll get my coat  ;D

Lost me there Neil...

Chris, you can park on city road which runs up from the train station up towards Harkers, there is a set of steps which take you down to the canal side just by the Travel Lodge or  Premier inn.

Just to let you know I may see you all there for a drink later on. This Harkers looks looks to be on the site of a pub called the Steam mill which I used to run many years ago. Does anyone know if it was the Steam mill before.

Mike

Will be good to see you if you can make it Mike.

Looking at the "history" section of the website it seems the current people have been there since 1985 and converted it from the original warehouse - so seems unlikely.

F

if he does he'll just pop in he said

Not 100% sure yet but I may need to back out of coming to the meal but will decide nearer the day.   :(I have somehow without realising managed to over stretch the bank account and gone £150 past my overdraft limit and its still 2 weeks till the next pay day. (Damn flat month pay packets with no OT, how are you meant to live on a flat month !)

I want to go and have a great night out, however a 130 mile road trip for a meal may not be such a good idea on the finances at the moment.

Will decide and let you know either way next week.

Thats a shame Chris, but can understand your position.  Just let us know nearer the time.

F

Well I was thinking of changing my mind last night when I heard i was getting a £270 cheque in the post, but this mornings little black ice incident is relieving me of £200 of it before i have even got it so it's still unlikely now that i will attend. :(

hope all is well Chris.

Still hope yet, I opened some mail this morning that has been sat there a while and discovered a cheque inside for some shares sold after a merger or something. So that was a nice added bonus that I didn't know about yesterday. Paid it in today so I may still make it to Chester yet.

First no money, then money, then a crash so no money again and then an unexpected check so money again. I feel like a damn yo yo this week, down, up, down up.

See what happens between now and Saturday but all being well I I might just make it yet.

Fingers crossed that you avoid disaster between now and Saturday Chris!

You are still booked in.

One less I'm afraid, Ben has cried off but I'll be there !!

me and dad are really looking forward to it now - picked what we are eating already  ;D 7:15 tomorrow?

Yep - sounds good to me.

I am looking forward to it too.

F

P.S.  Not sure what to eat yet tho... maybe the first turkey dinner of the season!

faithful burger for me and pah :D

thanks for a good night and good to see you all again :)

Yep - another good evening and my first yummy Christmas Dinner of 2009!

Shame Jules couldnt make it, but it was good to see everyone else again and welcome Kev's dad as a new CA(NW) member!

I didnt make it to Bath tho... got as far as the M6 and realised it wasnt gonna work, so went home for a few hours kip and left again early morning!!  :)

F

probably for the best Fran but was really good food :) bit noisy but not a bad place :)

Sorry I could not make it.


Mike

Its the perfect pub for the Liverpool Boys Floating Clubhouse tho.... better luck next time!

:)

It was a good night with pleasant company and nice food, when's the next one then ?

Some mics, an amp and speakers will have it sorted Kev !!

Good meet, good company, nice food, few beers, pity it was a bit noisy, who chose this place?  ;)

*points at Jules... who incidentally didnt turn up!*

come summer the rabble will be in the beer gardens further in town so it will be fine for us again ;)

Thanks for that Fran, there was a family incident which the nearest and dearest had to attend to so that meant there was no child sitting service available to me.  >:( I'm glad you all enjoyed the venue, just back from working in Poland for the week.
