Hello to you all,

I have two events coming up, shortly, the first of which is our usual last-Friday-of-the-month drink's night, followed by a picnic/barbecue in Golden Gate Park on Sunday 2nd August.

We will be returning to an old stamping ground, O'Neills in Ghiradelli Square, that has been made over and has reopened as "The Pub". There is a a large bar area, tables if you wish to have dinner and, most importantly, beer on tap!

Look forward to seeing you all down there.

Another month has rolled around, which means it's time for another Meetup. I'm hearing that it is time for a change, so we're giving "The White Horse Tavern" a go, which is part of the Beresford Hotel. It is an old English-style pub with restaurant next door with Goats Cheese on the menu! There is also beer on tap, which is more important, and the location is central with good public transport links and parking. (The O'Farrell/Ellis parking garage is not the closest but it is probably the cheapest at $6.50 for the evening after 6pm).

I know it is a long weekend, but hope you can join us.

See you there.

Joanne

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE- WE ARE NOW BACK AT PERRY'S- HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
Okay, chaps, time I organised one of these events once again and give Joanne a rest!

In the spirit of mixing it up, I thought we'd try a return visit to O'Neills in Girardelli Square again.

Parking is easy around there (park at the eastern dead-end of Van Ness by the Muni Pier)

Also, I still have the 2 FOR 1 drink tokens for this place so come and find me or Joanne to get yours- they are undated so, fingers crossed, they should still work!

Hope to see you there!

Cheers

Rob and Joanne

Happy New Year, everyone!

We're off to a lively start with a return visit to Perry's, which some of us thought was a great venue, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves last month.

Rob should be joining us now that he is back from Blighty, so we'll be down there propping up the bar in our usual manner.

See you all there.

Okay, so the Pelican has posted this event on their site now - here's the link: http://www.pelicaninn.com/holiday.html

Start time: The guy with be on the bonfire at 7pm so the fire should be lit around 6.30ish.

Finding the group: As with last year's event, the darkness makes it incredibly hard to find each other so don’t' definitely plan on finding the group (there's often around 150 people or more there) but I will be carrying a lantern and probably wearing a scarf too (good luck!). Those who went to the pub after last year know how crampted it can be after this event and how long you can wait to be served so, if that's not your thing, just bring some beers (or mulled wine) and chill around the fire for a while (that's my plan)

Parking: Park in the Muir Beach car park and walk the 2 minutes to the pub (the pub car-park fills up VERY fast!)

To bring: A torch, warm clothing and maybe drinks if you are just chilling by the fire

Carpooling: I have at least 3 people interested in carpooling. If you are coming from the city especially and have some space etc, please e/mail me and I'll try to help co-ordinate etc. I'm sure the additional riders won't mind buying you a beer or paying the bridge toll for you!

Hope to see you there!
