Plan for the day

Delayed due to damn silly TV schedules for football matches, the plan is to meet up in the Old Contemptibles around 5.30pm

7.15pm 8.00pm- The traditional chap visit to the German Market for some beer and food maybe on the cards

8.00pm - open to the floor (not lying on it!!!) for discussion.

Review 

The Chaps met up in the OC's to start proceedings. Rog was quickly followed by Chap, Dave, Simbers, Tone and Ian in the welcoming environment to start the rapid consumption of alcohol. We were joined later in the proceedings by Phil, Nige and Bondbez who was making his first appearance for some time (a welcome return to proper photographs!!). Around 7.30pm some of the chaps decided upon the annual pilgrimage to the German Christmas Market to sample some ale and roast pig in traditional fashion, whilst Dave, Nige & Phil remained in the OC's waiting for Louise.

Next port of call was planned to be the Sunflower lounge, however after conflicting reports it was shut we ended up at the Old Fox on Hurst street. We were joined by Nige, Phil, Dave and Louise at the OF where more beer was quothed. Simbers and Ian were keeping one eye on the alcohol levels as they planned to watch the Ricky Hatton fight in the wee small hours (yes Mr Simbers has sold out to Murdoch's millions and got Sky!!). Phil was also reminded that it is the 1st anniversary of the 'dog with hot chips'!! as he attempted to make contact yet again whilst Rog settled for discussions on puppies!

Following a reccie by Steve earlier on, it was found that the Sunflower lounge was open after all so that was the next port of call for all the chaps with the exception of Tone & Rog who headed back to the OC's for a final beer. The remaining chaps drank several more beers whilst Steve went down stairs to watch the live band, and also joining them on stage by the look at this photo!!. Time moved on and Simbers and Ian headed for the hills of Dorridge leaving Chap, Steve & Dave to head to Taj Mahal for a ruby.

Nige , Phil and Louise headed for Scruffy's, details as per Phil's addendum:

chap, caviat for write up...
 
phil nige and louise headed off to scruffys for usual late night booze and heavy rock, the place was full of dodgly looking middle age has been roadie type characters who should know better, and that was me and nige! drank some beer, had a dance, phil kept falling asleep at the bar and had to bail out around 2am, the other two stayed on, louise had a large poodle haired fellow push her over on the dance floor which sounds like fun but bruised her arse! the event was sadly missed by nige who was trying to stay awake somewhere else in the pub (as usual) they left for home around 3 with arse and dignity still intact... well done fellas
