Hi fellow welsh (and bristolian) members, I have a date and venue.......

 

Place

Prince of Wales,

(82 St Mary Street, CARDIFF, CF10 1FA )

Cheap drinks and food available:D

 

Date Sat 14th July 2007.

 

Time anytime after 1pm

 

Can all you lurverly peeps post here or PM me if you can/can't make it? It would be great to get an idea of how many of us will be there:D

[meagain]

Bugger. I'm in London (I think) on the 14th.

 

The good news for travelling members, the Prince is about 30 seconds' walk from Central station. The bad news is that there is a Travelodge a short walk away.

[Varangian3]

This sounds OK for me

 

Last train home to Newport is about midnight and I can walk from there.

I have a prior engagement with Mrs Slayer that day unfortunately.

 

It also clashes with a colleagues stag weekend in Blackpool and when I mentioned this to the dear lady and hinted that I may prefer Blackpool to an evening out with her, the answer was "Do what the **** you want".

 

I don't think that actually means what it sounds like:o so I won't be going to either Blackpool or Cardiff I'm afraid.

ok for me, count me in

Good day but bad rendezvous!

 

Brains used to have their brewery across the road with The Albert next door yet Wetherspoons used to sell Brain's beer much cheaper than The Albert, or any other Brain's pub in Cardiff. Why?

 

Stale beer! All the dregs were/are farmed out to the said chain of pubs and never again would I ever drink in these establishments and risk a long night on the lav!

[Linjie]

Sounds like a great idea. I've never ventured into Wales so it would be a real adventure.

Biggest pile of BS I've ever heard from someone not working for a bank.

 

J D Wetherspoon plc practically rewrote the book on cost-efficiency for the licensed trade. Low-maintenance furnishings (many tables wipe-clean), huge-scale bulk buying (better rate for pub, better NPV for brewery), no music (saving up to 700 x £700 in royalties to PRS), no sound on TVs (apparently means they pay Sky a good deal less) - lots of small cost savings across the board add up to very big cost savings, all of which is why they can afford to vastly undercut the opposition (by as much as £1/pint in some cases - most usually the posh clubs filled with pretentious and wannabe-pretentious types), yet still turn a healthy profit.

 

Nothing to do with buying substandard product, though a bad batch will hurt them more than most others. In my long experience, anything substandard at a JDW pub tends to originate within the pub (such as taking a well-laid out chocolate cake and ruining it in a microwave).

[stadium_arcadium]

There's nothing worse than a spoilt choc cake!!:o

Seriously, I don't drink beer, never have, much prefer breezers me:p

 

 

OK, I popped on to update...

So far I have had 4 definates and 2 maybes, with at least another 10 to get back to me. I will send reminders out to the ones who haven't got back to me next weekend. I also intend to get into Cardiff soon, to go check out the venue, get an idea of the layout.

 

I am looking forward to meeting you all:D

[stadium_arcadium]

Hello again folks, seeing as I had to go pick up some N1 forms from the court (is it just Cardiff, or have all the courts stopped supplying the whole info package and just giving out the bare minimum of paperwork?) I decided to go check out the Prince of Wales yesterday...ended up staying there all afternoon:D I'm glad I picked it, the staff were friendly, there's a great area where we can use as a meet point (I also found out that I may be able to reserve this....more details to follow nearer the time.)

 

As the 14th is a problem for alot of members, how would you all feel if we change the date to Sat the 7th? (apologies to all who have said yes for the 14th, I'm just trying to be a bit flexible to suit everyone;) )

 

If this is a suitable/unsuitable date, please let me know:)

 

Diolch yn fawr:D

Hi Linjie, yes, come visit Wales, land of beautiful scenery and friendly sheep;) You will get a very warm welcome:)

This date seems strangely familiar. It may have come up while I was looking to see when the major events (of the shut-down-the-entire-city-centre variety) were happening. It may also have come up randomly in a conversation of no relevance whatsoever, though.

[Charlies Angel]

Hi all,

 

I'm living near Pontpridd and would love to meet you all on the 14th. How many are attending? I'm a bit shy though:oops: ha ha

[Charlies Angel]

Hi, and welcome aboard! I just checked my PM's and the thread, so far I have 8 definates (incl me) and 3 maybe's...hopefully there will be more, as there's still a few to get back to me and maybe one or two who've not posted their interest. However many/few we have it should still be a good day. I'm a bit shy too (yeh right) but a couple of drinks down my neck and I'll be completely the opposite:o
