A VV meet

[meriad]

this will be fun and agree Kaz, depending on date and timing some people may want to stay over the night.

[Aggers]

Agree with you there Pederito. Driving and parking in Birmingham is my idea of hell.

I agree - I wouldn't think of doing it. But there are plenty of places to parkrk in the suburbs, and the bus services
into town are fantastic - every few minutes on some cases.

[Rodo]

The problem with that Aggers would be going back to the parking place at night. I wouldn't want to do that on my own.
I have been to a Meet in Birmingham some years ago and went on the train and stayed over. Travelling back on the Sunday was awful though - terribly slow and lots of hold ups. Somehow I don't think I will be getting there, but wish everybody well for a lovely successful Meet.

Ally, you must be a mindreader!!!! I was just thinking of asking yourself and maybe Jo if you knew of a good place..................

I'm thinking somewhere light and airy, wooden floors, nice big tables, good food and cocktails.

I shall refrain from suggesting my usual dark, dingy, cider quaffing loud rock music venue.

The dancing girl..well, I can oblige!

I was thinking of somewhere with big tables, good food etc...also, I did think of The Old Joint Stock on Temple Row but it gets a bit busy in there at times.

[Ally]

Oh I like it in there Jo..and it's very central.

I think once we decide where we're going we should book some tables and hijack a chunk of the pub for us VVers.

[Kaz]

Hmmmmm too noisy and people can't talk - just a thought We need somewhere where we can be for a few hours without needing to move on for other customers..............IMO that is

[Ally]

I don't think it will be too noisy Kaz as it'll be daytime.

Also..we can reserve an area for us.

Once I'm sat down I'm budging nowhere for no one!

There are lots of nice places in Brum..we'll get somewhere and have a blast.

[Kaz]

As long as people can hear and be heard, that's the main thing

Oooh this is all very exciting...............

[Ally]

:D As long as people can hear and be heard, that's the main thing

Oooh this is all very exciting...............

My sentiments to a T.

Somewhere with a nice ambience.

I have more than my fair share of 'shouty' pubs living over here in the land of non stop talking so I need a 'hear and be heard' place.

I'm getting carried away here...I was just putting some ironing away and have a quick lookee in my wardrobes thinking..mmm, what shall I wear for the meet!

I'm ahead of you...I was thinking about what to wear when I was walking the dog this morning
