View Full Version : UK NC Piss Up/Meet #7 Discussion and Suggestions

So #6 is over and as ever, we all want another; But what to do?
This thread is for the collation of the various ideas regarding the next meet: Location, duration and nature.
So far a few proposals have come to light:
General meet:
Probably in the south, London or similar being most likey, in a similar vein as those that have preceded (meet up, get battered, have breaky, buggar off).
Big, dedicated meet over a number of days:
This is something that has bounded about within the circle of higher-ups and rather dedicated NC-meet/drunkard members.
The plan being to hire out a cottage or similar in Wales, Devon, or of the same nature for about a week, having barbies, exploring the local area and getting battered on regular occation.
As this would have to be booked, somewhat more planning and dedication would be required; No 'I think I may be able to come', you would have to say yes or no rather early.
The latter is of personal preference, but is up for discussion.
Banter away dear fellows.
I am up for either and think the second idea is a great one, if enough people stay for the entire time i'm sure it could be arranged that others may drop in for one or two nights based on their funding/available time off etc.
If we do go for the second idea i'm all good as long as it's during August onwards. As for the first idea based on location i'm easy as i'll even fly down if it's a massive distance. :)
Thread Stuck.
Do it in Florida. Seriously. ;)
I'd love to come along this time, but would prefer a one nighter with plenty of notice so that I can book the hotel & save money!
The cottage might be difficult for me, unless I could just come for the one night due to personal commitments. Hey, I could bring my guitar and we could have a drunken singalong!
The middle to the end of August would be cool for me, and I'd be more than happy to travel down south.

if you bring a guitar I'll bring mine (and a bongo!)
more seriously, what about doing it in august so more people will be on holidays
Kalonji
Dog sarnit, I will try to mke at least one of these...
My 3 conditions are: As long as it goes over at least 1 weekend so I can leave on friday night from work and arrive.
IT's not too far away... my max distance would be North London from my house, as I'd prolly drive.
It doesn't cost me too much to get there/stay somewhere.
Shame that in the RW we can't just run out and kill stuff to get money eh? Life would be so much easier...
Oh, and July 15-August 5 I'm in China and Mongolia on an expedition, so I can't make then :(
How about a southern Meeting in London with maybe a casino night :)
How about a southern Meeting in London with maybe a casino night :)
Casino's + Beer = Foolish.
You know they have ATM machines on site???
lol, bad move.
Ok Here's a location for you to think about Newquay in cornwall.
Would be an excellent place for a week in summer lots going on. Theres even an airport just outside for those who wish to fly with destinations to and from all over England and 1 in Germany and 1 in France.
There will be cottages available round there or possibly even log cabins on some of the local campsites.
And you don't get much more south :p
how about bristol if not london both work well for me, newquay is well far away even from londoners..or mabe birmingham even tho its a shit hole
x
i'm all good as long as it's during August onwards.
The middle to the end of August would be cool for me,
what about doing it in august so more people will be on holidaysSo far, three separate people have mentioned August, so it sounds like that part of the plan is coming together. Also, it's my birthday at the end of August, so that suits me down to the ground as I normally take a holiday from work then.
I can get anywhere, anyhow, so keep those ideas rolling in :)

Kane, get Trolly to post so we can get a Florida sticky :)
Ok Here's a location for you to think about Newquay in cornwall.
Cornwall is my old neck of the woods, and Newquay would be a good place to goto, got plenty of good pubs and good nightspots.
However August may not be so good for me, as I'm in the process of planning a stag weekend for my mate who is getting married in September, and oddly Newquay is one ot the destinations being considered!
I'm up for whatever this time around, and whilst I've had certain commitments in the past, I see no reason why August isn't doable.

I'll be there, I'll allways be there.
I am allways there....
If it's in august (towards the end) I can make it, should be back by then, just gotta hope there's a weekend involved so I can actually come down after work week as i'd have used up all my holiday :(

Because of travelling costs and the fact you have to be 21 to drink.
And the fact you Always get gimps coming up to you saying, Oh my god, are you like from France?
Or "hey come here and tell us your british sayings"
Well that's why I wouldn't go.

Feel free to start a thread if you want to organise a meet up for the stateside players. The moderation team will gladly support the thread in terms of sticky status and adding new information to the original post; to help you get things organised if you actually intend to meet up and get some genuine interest. All we ask is you don't derail or spam the threads related to other meet ups.
As for the UK meet ups; i'm sure everyone would be more than happy for people to drop in from all over the world if they wish to come along. We do always work on an ethos of 'the more the merrier', the simple reason for the current meetings being in the UK is that they've happened before and have become established with familiar faces showing up each time who happen to all live in the UK :)

Bring it forward a few months and this is the main reason that anyone ever goes to Newquay http://www.runtothesun.co.uk/ Happy Days!!!
I wont be able to make a full week meet. Unfortunately i have my hols all booked as of a few weeks ago.
Im defo up for another weekend somewhere. Tis ma B'day 2 weeks tomorrow so gonna grab a few m8's hopefully and head blackpool way ;)
Hmm...
If it's in August, I might be in Beijing, Tokyo or Cyprus...
I'll try my best nevertheless :)
I will be up for absolutly anything this time around seeing as I missed the last one :( A meet in the south will be a nice idea just so you northern people can spend money like I did on the trains ;)
Bristol is a nice place to go but it is quite a rough place for friday and saturday nights mind you

if its in August i have 2 weeks off for my Birthday and one of the GMs birthdays is on the 30th mines on the 28th im up for it
I know that your birthday is there :P Because mines some days earlier :P Never forget your B-Day :P
*Neill*
Ok, the late August bank holiday falls on the 31st this year. A few birthdays all fall in that last week, so would the majority be up for Sat 29th and Sun 30th at least? If we are still doing the week long thing, the week ending the 30th is still good for me, but we need to get a majority vote on that.
huzzah! a weekend.. sounds good to me, and a bank holiday you say? even better... I'd be up for that, provided the Chinese don't take me hostage on my trip there in July/August start...
might have to see if i can make it to this one.only been bout 5 years ive been wanting to get drunk with a few people on here

:lol:
Lol, Doc Holliday.. id I see you at the meet it'll be good to put a face to the person who's been poking my chars in the plaza :P
so, have we decided on a location date for this thing? I glanced over a post over on THN that said something about York? That'd be a pig for me cos I'd have just got back from Mongolia and have no money or holiday time left :(
As much as I'd love you guys to come to Cornwall (hey, Newquay is just up the road from me!) aiming for this area during peak tourist season isn't really an option unless you want to pay the premium (and book well in advance). You can get B&B's for around £15/£20 a night though with some pubs/b&b's that enjoy a good lock in.
For night-life though, you can't really beat Newquay, lot's of hot drunk local girls, and lots of hot tourist girls looking for a holiday fling! As well as a beach, and the weather down here is frikken lovely at the moment.
Prices for a cottage in August.... £1,035 for a week, Sept/Oct it drops down to £595 (and £275 in January).
August really is the best time to come here (weather wise) but also the worst time to come here because property prices will shoot through the roof because of the uber high demand.
And no, you can't all sleep on my floor :P :lol: :lol:
Having a look around, you can get one for around 800 in August, a good cheap one with pool's already fully booked though. Try http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/newquay,-cornwall/

York was a sugguestion for a meet from last year, it got changed to Nottingham in the end.
As for this year's weekend meet - no location has been decided, I think everyone is aggreed they want to go on a meet at the end of August.
I'm still going to sugguest meeting up in London.

i will send you pics :)
naw. i cut my hair since the last meet. had dreadlocks at the time and now its short in comparison. i miss em. roz n me and a few others had a meet up recently. good laughs. :) will try and make the next one.
i reckon london somewhere would be good? preferably south, there are plenty of cheap hotels everywhere or failing that southend on someplace by the sea?
x
is it true Hoder kept saying " DROP THAT WEAPON" to random people LOL! :lol:
August is all good for me, should be able to make it regardless of location if money is ok - started to hide pennies from myself for it now.
Shall we try and have a definitive plan sorted by... Friday 19th June? Still a short while for us to chat about it but enough time to hopefully get some hotels booked fairly cheapish.
As for a location i've never been to the capital before so it would be interested in heading to London. Just so long as it's priced within reason ( saying that it's £3.30 for a pint of lager/cider in my local night club :wtf: ) and not somewhere we're all going to get lost in!
If we do hit up London i'd also be interested in making a weekend of it staying two nights as to possibly get in and see some of the sights.
Yeah London sounds mighty Fine !

( saying that it's £3.30 for a pint of lager/cider in my local night club :wtf: )
London will be expensive, but it depends where you go. The Nag's Head next to the royal opera house will set you back £4+ a pint, but a spoons or something similar won't be that bad.
One day, i will attend :P
Yeah London sounds mighty Fine !I thought you'd say that ;) Agreed, though. Japan centre, anyone?

Cocktails in our newly found cocktail bar were £8 each, but worth every penny ;)
DJ, it sounds like you know London well, so you should plan our drinking route if we go there. My last visit to London involved lots of walking between bars, only to find they were closing / weren't serving food etc.

That's not too bad actually, the pub I work in charges that much after 11. Is a lot for a spoons though, it will probably be cheaper in one that's not in a tourist area.

I know parts of London, mostly around Kings Cross/St Panc. Plus a few places on Tonenham Ct. Rd. and New Oxford Street.
It's been a while though, if a couple of us want to go down the day before to recce a few area and jog my memory, that might be useful.

You could just go buy a map from one of the tourist offices or google one of the many websites that tell you how good certain cities are to go drinking in.
If its in london I might come down to this one. I can get limited cheap hotel accommodation at the Union Jack club, Roz if you're up for it?
OK NOOBS LET ME GIVE YOU A TOUR OF LONDON.
Depending on what you want and where in London you want to go will depend on how much you want to spend. If central London isn’t important then there some great places around Brick Lane although they aren’t exactly posh, they are VERY lively with security at either end of a street, bars in the middle and people partying and drinking in the street. Other non central locations include Angel, they have a few spoons which aren’t too badly priced and when that shuts you have quite a few other bars and pubs still open after 11. If you want central and cheap then places Moose Bar (bond street station on the corner of Selfridges) do a fantastic happy hour between 5-9 : -
Cocktails 3.90 (excluding Champagne)
Draught Becks 2.75
Corona/San Miguel 2.75
House WIne Glass-2.90 Bottle-9.75
Spirit & Mixer 2.90
Tequila Shots 2.90
NOTE: The price has gone up, it was £2.75 for cocktails. DAMN THE CREDIT CRUNCH !
I was in Met Bar (the weatherspoons on baker street) the other day and a Fosters was about £3.00 but to be honest I’m used to paying around that much in London, anything cheaper is a bonus.
I do honestly recommend somewhere close to central to avoid disappointment with bars shutting seen as most of the central bars are open till about 2-3am. Most places stop serving food at around 11 anyway but if you are slightly outside central like the places mentioned above then I guarantee you there will be a chicken shop every 5 minutes !
I tell you what is cheap, that’s Nags head Algate east, £1 FRIGGININ PER LAP DANCE!
PEACE OUT !

You were paying those sort of prices in nottingham last time you all came up there. Noone seemed to care then.
Ok, so who's volunteering to organise this little shindig then? All we need is a contact and where to meet initially, then people can start booking rooms etc.
Anyone?
C'mon guys, there must be someone out there who wants to organise us getting drunk in our fair capital. We've had a few meets now 'up north' so it's time to head south.
At this rate we'll end up in Nottingham. Again. :p
Less Drinking.
More Patching.
More drinking while patching

Well if Mess is coming, he seems the best person for the job or at least the guide. StevenJ and/or Brams have done it in the past so they know what they are doing.
I cannot make the last weekend in September, as I am off to be a geek in Brum to look at toy soldiers and enter painting competitions.
All of the beers you mentioned are terrible.
Its a bench mark, the prices dont differ much from that. Let me guess u drink that pissy 2% coors shit..typical yank !
I'm not sure if i can make it but i can organise it for you and maybe make a short apperance. What is the age range of the atendees? I know hoder is like 67 and DJ is like 27 but looks like santa.
I suggest you look around for places to crash first, find out what the best prices are and then plan the event around that. I dont know what living prices were like up north but in london your looking at an average of £80 a night. As long as your not all the way in west london or south london, picking a place to drink will not be hard.
Getting a Travel lodge Family room for 3 people will make it end up costing less than 20 quid each in London, which is great.
All of the beers you mentioned are terrible.
you probably think the export heineken is a good beer...
I'm not sure if i can make it but i can organise it for you and maybe make a short apperance.Organise it well enough and you'll know if you can make it or not :)
What is the age range of the atendees?Assume 18 to 30, but this isn't Ibiza.
I know hoder is like 67 Oops, i'm so old and doddery I think I deleted all your rare cabinets by mistake. Silly me. :mad:
As long as your not all the way in west london or south london, picking a place to drink will not be hard.So you reckon North or East? Say where and look for Travelodge rooms in that area within walking distance of a tube station.
Getting a Travel lodge Family room for 3 people will make it end up costing less than 20 quid each in London, which is great.Only if you book well in advance. Tick tock, tick tock...
East Londons a shithole, I live there although easy acess to central can be found from stratford/walthamstow. North london isnt too bad around seven sisters/finsbry park near the arsenal stadium. Both locations are about 20 minutes in to central london and finsbry park can take you to leiscester square.
Everywhere you go is gona be crazy on a friday night, so altho you say its not gona be ibza, be prepared. You could just go with the flow, i mean theres LODSA places to drink and good transport. Just find a location to stay and pub crawl it !
Someone needs to say...
London, Saturday 19th September? :angel: (cough, edited from 18th)
Heh. Beer, that's cute.Will clear out my PMs and send you a new msn add :p And beer is fine!

I cant miss another one so I will make it deffinate I will come if you go on the 19th september. If I miss it again I know Steve will ring me up and destroy my ass lol.
September I can do easy, August would be a little harder for me :(
Why September 18th? - Sadly won't be able to make that date (Wedding duties!)

You be right on both counts, whoever I'm not the one getting married...yet, as I'm one of the Best Men at this wedding.
The guy who is getting married I've know a long time, has asked two people to be his best men, and I'm one of them - it's a little different from the usual tradation wedding, but it's something I won't decline doing, as it's a very special day for my me, and also more importanly, for my mate and his fiancée.
However if I'm not busy for the planned NC weekend, I'll do my best to be there - all I sugguest is set a date, and have a brilliant weekend.

Can you postpone it until sometime next year? My passport is expired and I am really quite poor right now.
Wait, I have a better idea. How about all of you come over here? You guys (at least the ones I know) can sleep on the floor in my spare room. I'll supply the beer and I'll take y'all to a club that has a bunch of really hot, drunk college girls!
