Given the slow exodus of the lith to south of the river, or sahf d'river as we say in our native tongue, it's long overdue time we had a meet down this way.

What say you to a meet one Sunday in Dulwich. Nominations for pubs and dates welcomed.

Bear

16:18 / 22.07.04

Sounds good to me can't really sugest anywhere as I've not been out drinking in Dulwich yet but there's one that looks nice from the bus, something like Inside number *and then a number*

Can't drink much because I'm working in Birmingham on Monday.

I'm always up for such meets, as they're a. local(ish), and b. nostalgic, as for some reason a number of my early Barbiemeets were held there, namely at the dear old Brixton Hobgoblin. Come to think of it, why did we ever stop having meets in Sarf Landan?

Our Lady Has Left the Building

18:45 / 22.07.04

Because the only people with the verve and spirit to organise meets wanted to have them north of the river. How about Aug. 15th or 22nd?

Bear

20:08 / 22.07.04

I'm just noticing that you said one Sunday and not on Sunday

Dulwich sounds good - but i know no pubs there so whoever recommends them is going to have to include a map link too

ONLY NICE THINGS

22:33 / 22.07.04

Crown and Greyhound?

pointless and uncalled for

06:11 / 23.07.04

Paleface has also touted the Crown and Greyhound as a quality establishment although did mention that it may prove to be lacking in accessibility.

The Strobe

06:41 / 23.07.04

Crown and Greyhound, for sure. They do a great BBQ on Sunday afternoons, well, the food there's pretty good, and the beer is great. Not much more pricey than the Plough, either, really.

It's about five-ten minutes walk from West Dulwich station. I can meet people at the station if necessary. West Dulwich is ten minutes from Victoria once every half hour. Or there's the P4 bus, but The Seldom Killer has a thing about buses beginning with P.

It really is a very nice pub, though.

It's also about 5-10mins walk from North Dulwich station which you get to from London Bridge in about 10mins or so. Also far more regular trains than West Dulwich.

Yea i'd be up for a lazy sunday drink but not this sunday as i'm skint.

The Strobe

12:37 / 23.07.04

Ghadis is right. It is far more convenient that way around; it's just I only know it from the other direction

Basically, it's stupidly easy to get to and you have no excuse not to. It's a very lovely pub, and the food is fabulous.

13:02 / 23.07.04

My phobia of P buses is well founded, they are bizarre vehicles that are beholden to no known form of logic. However I will pull up a bunch of maps soon.

21:19 / 25.07.04

Sounds good to me. It's all abahhhht the saaaarf, so it is.

06:43 / 26.07.04

Mappage through the linking glass.

Spider Map from Brixton Note the connections at Honor Oak Park and North Dulwich.

Street Map. Lordship Lane is also served by the 185 from Victoria, Vauxhall and Camberwell, the 176 from Aldwych, Elephant and Castle and Camberwell, and the 40 from London Bridge, Elephant and Castle and Camberwell.

Trains run from London Bridge to East and North Dulwich Stations.

For more directions you can PM me for my number.

What does everyone make of Lady Flamingoes' suggestion of the 15th of August?

gingerbop

20:02 / 29.07.04

Oh my god. Someone has suggested somewhere I can walk home from; I will be eternally greatful. 15th would be fabulous, 22nd not so much for me, but whicheverwhichway.

Oh and by the by, I'm not moving to devon anymore.

ghadis

08:52 / 30.07.04

Devon smells of gone off custard anyway...Your better off in sweet smelling London...

15th sounds good to me

pointless and uncalled for

09:21 / 30.07.04

Suddenly bad means good.

The Strobe

09:56 / 30.07.04

I might be able to put in an appearance, depending on how wrestling with boxes is going.

gingerbop

21:26 / 04.08.04

There will be absolutely no wrestling. Evereverever.

Bear

22:52 / 04.08.04

no wrestling is the most horrible thing I've ever heard in my life...

pointless and uncalled for

12:58 / 05.08.04

I was thinking that, given the lovely weather we are, having a brief picnic before hand might be nice.

Bill Posters

17:21 / 07.08.04

shd all be okay with me...

gingerbop

22:14 / 07.08.04

Well that's not so bad; wrestling is allowable in small doses in the park, if there's also a picnic (with brie).

pointless and uncalled for

07:07 / 09.08.04

Woo Haa. Picnic, brie and booze. This may turn out to be the best day in the world ever.

Buy you plane, train and crane tickets now. Whatever it takes to get there.

sleazenation

08:18 / 09.08.04

will probably miss this now cos i think i will be in manchester that weeekend... decidedly north of the river

Jack Vincennes

10:39 / 09.08.04

I will probably be there, unless the boxes mentioned by Paleface upthread prevent it!

pointless and uncalled for

11:29 / 09.08.04

Neither box, nor bag no gloom of moving shall keep you from this meet.

Gypsy Lantern

14:42 / 09.08.04

Is it the 15th? I should be about for that I think.

pointless and uncalled for

09:25 / 10.08.04

OK, my plans so far are:

Picnic sort of thing in Dulwich Park at about 2:30 - 3ish. Take a look at the street map link that I provided, the park is at the bottom and it's probably easiest to meet by the boddy of water that is trying to sneak off the edge.

Drinks in the pub around 6ish.

Weather permitting applies.

PM me for my mobile if you think you might need it.

I plan to bake cakes.

Bear

09:39 / 10.08.04

Sounds good, if the weather is crap everyone can head back to mine I was meaning to have a party anyway - I have a tree but there's no grass, I have a shed but no plants, I have a scary basement that nobody has ever been in... but it will be bright and sunny anyway..

Goodness Gracious Meme

09:57 / 10.08.04

That sounds tempting.

*backs away, calls police*

Bear

10:05 / 10.08.04

That does sound quite scary, the tree has a rope swing, is that better?

I'm not suggesting people will the thrown into the basement, that would just be crazy.

pointless and uncalled for

10:46 / 10.08.04

Bear - bright sunny basements are commonly known as pits.

Bear

10:50 / 10.08.04

I meant the day will be bright and sunny and there will be no need for the basement visit but I'm starting to change my mind now. Your pushing your luck!

I'm curious to know what's down there though, strange magical things I imagine.
