Sorry, I've been wrapped up in work for the past few weeks. My social life is going down the pan lol

I promise I'll get the dates up later today. About 4'ish.

We all know that feeling lol.

No problem just looking forward to socialising, don't get much chance at the moment.

Thought I'd give this topic a bump. Has a date been settled on?

 

[Will12283]

Last Saturday of the month is best for me as I now have plans for the other Saturdays

 

[james1988]

If somebody else would like to take over organising I'd be extremely grateful. Real life - well work - is getting in the way of everything at the moment.

[WelshPaul]

I'll do it.

OK folks, The Otley Arms in Treforest it is: http://www.otleyltd.co.uk/otleyarms.html
It's right by the train station, which should make it easy to get to. I've never been but have heard some good reviews.

April seems to be the most popular choice since we're an impatient bunch, so what weekend suits people?
6/7th?
13/14th?
20/21st?
27/28th?
I'm happy with either so let me know, along with preferences for either Saturday or Sunday, and I'll see if I can book us a table.

 

[Will12283]

27th or 28th best for me can't make the others due to Swansea beer festivel and work

 

[james1988]

6th would be best for me.
Thanks for taking over :). I got in from work at 7 this evening and will be back in at 6. Oh joy.

 

[WelshPaul]

That's two already for the 27/28th of April, which gives us some time. Any more?

 

[TRXnMe]

I can't do the 27th/28th, non-brewing life has decided I'll be doing something else with my weekends for the next few months

Looks like I'm going to be lucky to get a brew in, let alone a weekend out

 

[WelshPaul]

Fair enough. I'm definitely avoiding the 6th/7th as it's too short notice and also clashes with the Swansea beer festival. We'll see what others can do and I'll look into making a booking this weekend.

 

[BrotherMalice]

I think I am now away every weekend in april

 

[Will12283]

Well looks like it will just be me and you a the moment welshpaul :lol:

Might even see you in the swansea beer festival too :thumb:

 

[Will12283]

Did anyone else make it to the Swansea beer festval in the end?

I did and enjoyed it was nice to see such a range of people enjoying real ale and ciders

No, sadly

I missed it last year as well, for the same reason, it's over by Sunday

Sunday is the one day of the week where I can organise a designated driver, and getting a Saturday off is close to impossible for SWMBO.

Still, maybe next year we'll book a long weekend on the Gower, I'd sort of planned this for this year, then it was earlier than I exxpected it to be

 

[WelshPaul]

I couldn't make it but will try to get to the Welsh beer and cider festival in Cardiff in June.

They had to change the date this year due to work that's happening at the venue but was well worth it. I will be there again next year :thumb:

And I'm tempted by the beer and cider festival in Cardiff too

 

[BrotherMalice]

I am hoping to make it to the Cardiff festival this year, didn't get there in the end last year

 

[Will12283]

Any decision on a date yet or should we plan for summer (if we ever get one).

 

[WelshPaul]

No, I was waiting on late requests. I'll book it for Sunday 28th if that's OK with everyone else.
