xDx Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Are we going to meet before the GP? If so... any suggestions? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Its probably wiser to wait a couple of weeks yet before arranging it but last year I seem to recall it was a Wotherspoons near the Stadium and it was a good pub. Was it the Prince of Wales? What about a mini meet for the Friday at Newport as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I remember last year. We were supposed to meet in a certain pub at 2pm I think and the Wetherspoons later on. The first pub (I can't remember the name) had no-one there I could recognise except Colin Pratt. And the Wetherspoons pub was mobbed. Couldn't see anyone until Addict came running down the stairs to greet me. A couple of us stood outside looking around for other forum members, not knowing that some were inside hidden amongt the hundreds of speedway fans inside. But I suppose I'll do it again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 The first pub (I can't remember the name) had no-one there except Colin Pratt. Now that's a good idea to keep the pub we want to use empty until everyone arrives. Just ask Pratty to go in there for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 What about a mini meet for the Friday at Newport as well? Sounds good..think we're planning to go to that. Plus with ML staying in the same hotel I think the forum meet-ups could go on for a long time on the friday night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtc Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 if any one wants to meet early the prince of wales is opening at 10:00 in the morning, and its serving booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 ......and the sixteen rider races will commence at 5 lol :twisted: :clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Newport meet up sounds good....the bar before the meeting...and during...and after!! How much is a taxi back to Cardiff anyway! Also, how about arranging a rain off meet up for Friday night just in case? I'm sure a load of folk were left at a loose end last year when Newport was washed out so why not have a provisional date? The Wetherspoon's place from 7 onwards? Then onto the nearest gutter about closing time!!!! :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not at a loose end-some of us went to Somerset! Do they have a meeting on the Friday this year as well just on case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addy Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 So folks have a lot to look forward to , haven't they Jo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Couldn't see anyone until Addict came running down the stairs to greet me. You told me she almost knocked you over Jo Yes, she did, I forgot to put that one in. I was looking for the 'Powder Room' after having a pint in the other pub (mentioned before) when Addict came tearing down the stairs. So I was not on the lookout for forum members. It was nice to see Addict though, as always Yes, folks have a lot to look forward to, Addict. Hope we are a bit more successful in meeting other forum members this year By the way Gemini, Colin Pratt had a smile on his face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
