-------------------------------

Well as discussed in the other thread, i thought i'd start putting a thread together for this proposed meet, pre christmas if anyone is interested

Aswell as ice skating, guildford has various restaurants & bars. There is also a bowling alley on the complex if anyone fancies a game.

If you fancy going for a meal, there's a beefeater down the road. I can book a table depending on interest. Ice skating you just pay on the day.

Cheers
Arnie

Whatever

Wherever

I'm easy!!

I'm there!!

 

[Arnold]

Lol, ok as an opener im going to suggest Saturday 25th November in Guildford. Skate session runs between 2 till 5. Costs around a fiver iirc.

The hockey team are away that weekend & gives us enough time to sort it all out (and buy some ice skates if you hate wearing ankle breakers the rink provides!)

 

[ollie240585]

I am awful at ice skating. My way of stopping is to either:
1. Fall over
2. Crash into the side
3. Crash into someone

I am presuming that I got the right place:

[Arnold]

Yep thats it, cheers Ollie.

and i'l be a little rusty when it comes to skating, so will James, infact everyone will, but that's half the fun

Anyway, let me know about the meal idea or however you guys want the day to pan out.

Post your interest below

 

[ollie240585]

Hopefully James' Ice Skating will be just as amusing as his bowling, hehe.

Also from what I hear his dancing is somewhat amusing to. lol

Glad I can help by posting random stuff

I'm quite easy when it comes to food - if it's edible and in front of me - I'll eat it - aslong as I don't have to cook :-D

This should be a good laugh, hopefully maybe some Midlands members could be interested too

 

[James]

Yeah i'm up for this

 

[ollie240585]

ANYTHING ELSE: Easy access from M25 and Portsmouth (A3). Be aware of carpark speedbumps!

[Arnold]

Anyway, come on welly it's only a fiver! You know it makes sense

 

[ollie240585]

Yes Welly. Live a little.

[Arnold]

Although you just wear trainers instead of special rubber shoes etc! No padding either.

 

[Alienfish360]

I'm a definate for this one! Does anybody know of cheap accomodation nearby?

 

[ollie240585]

Wow this will be the closest meet I've been to. Only 72.2 (plus getting lost miles) miles!!!

I'm Sure someone can offer u a place to crash Phil.

 

[Arnold]

If not, there's a travel inn within walking distance of the ice rink

 

[NeX]

ok guys put me down as a maybe, i have to check if i'm free and if i have any cash....

[NeX]

luv to mate but this weekend i'm going to Mat's place and comming back with:

micra shell
1.4 engine
roll cage
custom wide arch kit

so i really won't have any cash lol, but i'll see if i can put some cash away

also getting a P2 hard tail bike so i can ride to work and save some cash but i'm paying £300 for the bike so it will be a while before it earns its money...

BUT i will try

 

[Arnold]

Get detox to pay

 

[NeX]

Get detox to pay

lol good point he owes me 20 bucks from the last meet

 

[Alienfish360]

I will be flying into Gatwick but before I book flights is it best to get there before noon?

 

[sparkie]

Broomball is wicked!

Anyway, come on welly it's only a fiver! You know it makes sense

£5 plus extra. like £140 plus for back box's.
then £5-£10 for food. (burger king just down the road. saying that think there's a kfc or burger king in the centre)
plus £10-£20 for fuel. depending on what car i bring.
but will try my best. even working saturday. before 12 o'clock.
