UPDATE - VENUE CHANGE: NOW AT THE GEORGE & DRAGON ON CENTRAL & CAMELBACK

Judging by the replies and a few people I spoke to at the last event, the George & Dragon is a lot more convenent for most people at this time on a Weds. So, as there are only going to be a few attending anyway, I've switched it to there. The George & Dragon is in Phoenix on Central, between Indian School & Camelback, opposite Steele Indian School Park. Hopefully I can make it up there, although it's more of a trek for me so if not, enjoy the game. The bar won't know we're going so just look for people who resemble their pics to meet-up! I'm sure they'll be plenty of Brits there anyway, irrespective of the group turn-out!

Cheers
Dave

Ok, so I know this is not going to appeal to many of you, and it's a Wednesday lunchtime, but for those of you who can feel a cold coming on...can arrange your own schedule...retired...unemployed...self employed...or just slackers...and want to watch the mighty Manchester United hammer Chelsea (who?) 5-0 and hopefully complete the League/European cup double join a few of us at the George & Dragon.

Hope some of you can make it...

Go on, take the day off!

Cheers
Dave

Tracy and Libby - sorry that we missed you! I was NOT expecting it to be that busy! Couldn't believe it when I walked in at 11.20am and couldn't move for Brits in a sea of red shirts (and a few blue)! I kept an eye out for you, but didn't see you to introduce myself and didn't hear the annnouncement - but then I couldn't understand half of what the owner was saying anyway as the sound system was a bit crap! This wasn't a standard meet-up so if you make the next one, it'll be all warm & fuzzy!

  “ What an atmosphere! Couldn't believe how packed the place was! Don't any Brits work for a living! Must have been a couple of hundred expats in there! That's why I didnt see you Tracy - I was keeping a look out, but failed miserably. You obviously didn't recognise me from my photo either! Great result - lost my voice and my nails, but other than that Perfect! ”
