Cardiff IM Wrestling Match 7 Feb 2009

The_Londoner · Jan 15th, 2009, 02:19

So guys.. it's been a long long while. Are we not due a UK, ok London meet up soon? Any suggestions?

karuna · Jan 16th, 2009, 19:06

Hey Londoner!

Yes, I think a meetup is in order.

I have one suggestion, not sure what people think of it: Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff is showing Slumdog Millionaire between the 6th and 12th Feb. It has a great bar with a range of impressive beers, and is about 2 minutes walk from my house which has a spare room in it. Cardiff's on the mainline to London, you can do it in a day from Paddington.

Any takers?

I think it sounds like a perfect meet up.. lets do it, do it, do it... It'll be so good to meet up somewhere fresh. How about Saturday the 7th? I may be driving there, so if anyone needs a lift from London, you're welcome to contact me..

Sounds like a great idea, Saturday night would be ideal.

The movie doesn't start until 20.40, now I come to look at it. Might make train travel difficult/an impossibility.

Ummm. I also have a couch, and a blow-up bed!

Kingstonian · Jan 16th, 2009, 20:54

... I have a sleeping bag ...

I should be ok. I'll have a better idea after this weekend.

theyyamdancer · Jan 16th, 2009, 22:21

Hello Londoners and out-of-towners! Great to see that you are organizing something exciting in Cardiff. I will be there in spirit only. Hope for more poems afterwards, Karuna. It's a super idea to set a precedent for different UK venues. Hello sssall, how are you?

karuna · Jan 17th, 2009, 18:42

Let us know when you'll be over theyyam.

If people want to sleep at my place could they let me know please! Either here or by PM. Thanks!

mikewill · Jan 18th, 2009, 02:47

Good idea. We might be able to stay with my daughter who lives there. What time are you thinking about meeting?

Karuna - thanks for the pm - I have been very slack lately (building work in full swing)

Well the movie's at 8.40pm (late, eh?). I figured we could meet and eat first at the Veg Food Studio (I hope people don't mind veggie food- it's just the most authentic Indian place in town).

Considering that place doesn't serve alcohol I guess an early eat- 5.30 - 6pm? Aim to get to Chapter for 7pm or so?

The Food Studio's not far from Central Station- one of those irritating distances that's slightly too far to walk but not long enough to warrant a taxi.

Map here.

PM me for road directions into Cardiff.

The_Londoner · Jan 18th, 2009, 14:56

Karuna,

Excellent choice for food too. I think we should plan to meet up around 5:30ish. Looking forward to it already.

mikewill · Jan 18th, 2009, 16:53

OK I'll see what I can arrange. Supposed to be playing hockey in Torquay at 3:45, so will have to find a way round that. It's not a long trip up to Cardiff from Exeter.

Mike

karuna · Jan 18th, 2009, 19:01

I've given this its own thread in case there are some Waleians/South Westians/Borderians lurking who might want to join us.

List so far:

1. The Londoner
2. Karuna + possible hangers on (for the film bit)
3. Kingstonian
4. Haylo
5. Tonylittle

sssall (?)
Mikewill and Mrs Mikewill (?)
