[caro]

You want me to check the train times :o

 

Noooooooooooo lol. But we know a man who can.

 

5.30 sounds ok to me. Earlyish start then.

 

PD you wont need badges you will hear them

 

We'll be the ones making a show of ourselves PD. It has been know to phone a fellow cagger who is apparently late arriving and hear a phone ringing belonging to someone already at the bar.

And by the way. I hear a rumour that Barra is giving his wallet an airing that night!!!!

[pinkduchess]

im looking forward to it ...hope it goes ahead...it should be an experience!! lol

[Castlebest]

PD we can play spot the CAGers in the bar I dont think it will be a difficult game

[caro]

I could poke Tilly in the eye and then she'll be the one with the bloodshot eye. Very easy to spot.

O'Neill's Broad Street B1 2HG

8pm

 

Anybody staying at the Travelodge (Birmingham Central) can meet there first.

 

You will spot me quite easily - I look exactly like my avatar.

 

 

Caro's buying the drinks.

[caro]

It can't be my turn AGAIN!!!

 

Are you sticking to coke Barra?

[sequenci]

O'Neills?

 

You're seriously having a laugh? Can't you choose somewhere a little nicer?

[caro]

Well I hope he's not having a laugh about the hotel cos I just booked a £29 family room at Birmingham Central Travelodge.

 

I have spaces for either 2 big people or 1 big and 2 little ones. I suspect I can guess who'll nab at least 2 of them.

O'Neills?

I picked O'Neills for three reasons:

1) It's practically on the doorstep of the Travelodge where presumably everyone is staying (unless they're travelling home after etc)

2) Whilst I don't know that particular O'Neills, they're generally an ok place for a meeting point and a couple of cheap drinks before moving on elsewhere.

3) The local people - i.e. you - have not suggested anywhere to meet so thought I'd better suggest somewhere myself!

 

 

Well I hope he's not having a laugh about the hotel cos I just booked a £29 family room at Birmingham Central Travelodge.

 

Yep, looks like a good deal £29 for 3 people. Better book mine too before they all go.

 

 

Are you sticking to coke Barra?

 

Diet Coke actually.

With plenty of whisky.

It might be worth checking prices at The Travelodge at Broadway Plaza too, it's about 400m from Broad Street and usually has some good deals too, it's much more modern also (only just opened).

2) Whilst I don't know that particular O'Neills, they're generally an ok place for a meeting point and a couple of cheap drinks before moving on elsewhere.

OK! Brindleyplace is much nicer although I would imagine the price of the drinks might reflect this too.

3) The local people - i.e. you - have not suggested anywhere to meet so thought I'd better suggest somewhere myself!

I like the Pitcher & Piano

[Ell-enn]

I can't make this now:( a surprise 40th birthday party has been organised for one of my relatives, and as too many of those involved have other commitments the previous weekend (bank holiday) it will have to be the day after the meet.

 

I was looking forward to meeting you all

[Castlebest]

It might be worth checking prices at The Travelodge at Broadway Plaza too,

 

We did and I thought it was too far to walk from New Street (wrong end of Broad Street)

I think as people have started to book we stick with the Birmingham Central one

[caro]

CAG dos I've been to seem to be more about quantity than quality sequenci, therefore need to be cheap, expecially if Barra is expecting whisky in his diet coke.

 

Can we have a link to the Pitcher & Piano please. We don't have to stick to one venue as those of us who went to Manchester can confirm.

 

Ell-enn I'm gutted you can't make it. If the party is the day after the meet are you sure you couldn't do both?

i is only little

Well at the Manchester meet we met in a tent, so we're not exactly the fussy sort!

Also the Broadway Plaza has now sold out of £19 rooms meaning they're £49 now and more expensive than Birmingham Central.

[caro]

Oh I didn't think of you Tilly! (NOT!!):rolleyes: Would you like to share?

 

Now who else might there be?

[**Tilly**]

Haha well i can see thelma lurking

[caro]

DD is going to see if she can get the night off work, so I need to keep her a space for now, but I had a feeling Thelma might want a space so that's it unless DD can't make it.

 

If there are 4 of us it will be cosy but after a night out who cares!

[Ell-enn]

Ell-enn I'm gutted you can't make it. If the party is the day after the meet are you sure you couldn't do both?

 

I'll be having family staying here on the Friday night and I'm doing a lot of the food on the Saturday .......

[caro]

Next time then.
