Just so nobody misses the upcoming Birmingham Splunch next weekend here's the link to the event that has been added to the calendar with all the details.
It'll be held at the Square Peg pub which is a Wetherspoons so you know what to expect from their food and drinks menu.
If you are thinking of coming along please add your name (if you haven't already) by clicking the "I'm attending" button on the event page above and if you are staying for food later on in the day just add a post here saying you are and how many of you there are if you're bringing somebody along with you. The more the merrier!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact CKwam or myself who are organising this.
The current list of people attending is as follows :-
and just Brick as a maybe at the present. Damn those sofa delivery people
If everybody could please post if they'll be staying around for food that would be really helpful Dominic and CKwam marked with a (D) have confirmed they are so far.
I hope everybody has a brilliant time and continues to support these events in the future.
It'll be great seeing you all there no matter how long or short your visit. Evening food plans are coming together so please do let us know that you're sticking around for something to eat so that we have a good idea what the numbers are like.
Damn, I was really wanting to go and meet you all but something has come up next Saturday in my hometown that I really need to be at. So please organise another and I shall do my very best to be there.
Only a few days to go now so better sort the place to eat out
We've decided we'll book a table at the Big Wok Buffet which is very close to New Street station. It the cheaper of a couple of options and will hopefully give more people the opportunity to stay for food and still be able to travel home afterwards. We'll book it for around 5:30-6:00 and then people can leave at any time for trains if they need to.
The link so you can have a look and decide if you want to stay and I'll book a table on Friday once we have a clearer idea of final numbers.
A few more have added their names to the event page as "attending" now and we're getting closer to 20 now which is brilliant!
As previously, if you can take a look at the Wig Wok menu and prices and see if that helps you decide if you'll be staying around for food and post on here it would be really appreciated.
I'll also add a pic soon of what I'll bring for the table so we are recognisable for anybody coming for the first time or is only familiar with our profile pics
So this is happening! And it looks like the southerner are coming too. So don't miss out your chance to meet the organisers of the London Splosh Games and maybe some special guests too. It's not too late to let us know that you're coming. In fact, just turn up, we'll try and post onto here once we know where we're sitting. We can also try and make last minute changes to the food bookings as well but please do try and let us know ASAP if you're sticking around for the meal.
One of my other passions in life is F1 so I'll bring Murray's book and Lewis's 2009 replica car which has many cool memories for me and they'll be sat on a table somewhere in the pub so you'll find us I'm not bringing the bottom half of a kettle.....don't worry
As the response to food has not been too forthcoming we'll just play it by ear for now and see how it all works out unless there is a huge deluge of interest tomorrow. I spoke to the chinese buffet today and they don't see a problem in catering for parties on a Saturday evening so whatever the numbers are we'll be fine to eat there.
Hope you can come along and meet, eat, drink and be merry as that's what's it's all about
I will apologise now for not remembering anyone... even if I have met you before .
I am a) terrible with faces and b) awful with names and c) shy so I will have forgotten who is who etc. So please accept my apologies in advance for this. It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy talking with you, I just can't remember faces
I've just managed to check in my hotel early so will be there by 1:30 at the latest. I'll try and bag some tables and just look out for Murray Walkers book and an F1 car on a table as i previously posted. Im wearing a dark blue shirt with tiny white dots on it with jeans, shoes and glasses. This is when everybody in the pub has a dark blue spotty shirt on lol
Another brilliant day and as ever over way too quickly. I actually managed to stay reasonably sober and managed to not loose my fone and glasses! unlike last year haha
Great turn out of over 20 and always great to see new people coming along
So......just a couple of pics of the tailor made card.
I'm sorry to say that I didn't enjoy this splunch at all, in fact I got fed up and left after an hour or so.
The table was too small for the numbers attending and at the busier end of a very busy pub. It seems that I was one of the later arrivals and I found that there was nowhere to sit, or even find standing room, in that area. So I stood around at the bar nursing my pint and made occasional unsuccessful attempts to break into the group. I managed to say Hi to about three people I knew, that was all the conversation I got. Bar service was slow too.
I have attended many successful splunches over the last ten years or so and all the others have been awesome including previous Brum ones. This one though to me was just a wasted Saturday
A big thank you to all the organisers, it was a happy coincidence this meeting fell during my return to the UK. It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with everyone. Hope to meet you all again some day in the future. Good luck with the London event.
Yes, thanks to everyone involved. I had a great time getting to know lots of new, friendly people and some familiar faces.
I also remember, through a slightly alcohol-fogged brain, some discussion of trying to get a North-West splunch off the ground again, possibly sometime in early June, for all us Manchester/Liverpool/Lancashire types. There seems to be plenty of us knocking around.
Love you, too
