Meetup in Reading - All Welcome!

[Deleted]

Three of us—

• Uncle Gizmo (Tony)
• CJ London (Chris)
• Minty (Trevor)

—are meeting up in Reading on 2nd December 2022 at the Three Guineas pub: https://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/37/370/Three_Guineas/Reading

We’ll be there from around 12:00–12:30pm.

Our usual routine is simple: start with a pint and a chat, head to a restaurant for a meal, enjoy another pint (or two), more conversation, and then catch the train home.

If you’d like to join us, just reply in this thread. We’ll add you to a private chat so everyone can stay updated on the details.

Hi Tony & Chris, it's good to see you guys kept the tradition going. It's been 10 years since I last saw you both in London. Would be nice to join, but it is a working day and it is quite hard for me to get a day off.

Look forward to a weekend or late evening catch up soon. Would definitely love to meet up.

Thanks
Paul

I'm afraid it's a bit far from New Orleans and besides, my wife has a club meeting at our house shortly a couple of days later. I will have to help with setup and such. Tell you what... when you hoist a pint, think of your USA friends - and others - who were too far away to make the trip.

Hi Paul - good to hear from you, sorry you can't make it. We'll have a chat about an evening/weekend get together, see if we can make it happen next year

Doc - we generally raise a glass to far away friends!

Caveat --- I don't want to be exposed to a Woke environment..... I couldn't handle it ... (With decorum)

 

[NauticalGent]

Who says decorum is necessary? Besides, the videos you have watched are cherry-picked to fit a narrative. I have yet to observe ANY of they "stuff" the rest of the world seems to think is commonplace here...

 

[NauticalGent]

So...how was the turn-out?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

There were 3 of us , well when we started, towards the end I believe there was an increase in numbers, but that could have been the beer goggles...

cherry-picked to fit a narrative.

Yes, I know, at least 50% of your population is dem and 50% trump .. err republican....

All the Americans I interact with on AWF are decent people, irrespective of their politics. ...

How many pints did you consume UG

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Ha!

 

[Isaac]

All right, good thing I didn't go to Reading, Pennsylvania, USA for this. After all, it appears on Google maps as a quiet smaller city a good safe distance from Philadelphia's hellscape.

Agreed! Slightly bigger country though, hard to find a mutually agreeable location.

That said, we're heading out your way in a week or so, maybe we can hook up there.
