Calling all South Wales Pals.

Please let me know if you are interested in meeting up for a pint and a chat. Date and venue open to suggestion, but ideally be looking at the Newport-ish area. Will do my best to accommodate holidays etc.

Look forward to meeting local members !

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike

put me down for a place please
Tafski

If its a Friday, I'm up for that, I work Saturday and Sunday, Newport is only down the M4, I'll probably get lost somewhere again.

Gaz

Almost wish I was closer to you "West English". I could join you all foer a pint and blah and meet Tafski in person. Good luck and have a great night. We have good Bham nights!

Regards

TT

Good on you Garron. Look forward to meeting up.

TT - I'm sure you can be an honorary Taff for the night if you want to come over the border !

Cheers,
Mike

I won't be able to make it. Give Bruce my pint.

anyone else want to donate beer feel free, or just turn up and just maybe i will share all the freebies
tafski

So far, a small but beautifully formed group of 3 !!

Come on all you South Walians, we can put up a better show than this.

REMEMBER ROURKES DRIFT

Taf... thats off topic. you might get the thread killed.. surely Mametz wood would be more suitable

yes I think there were more Brummies anyway at the drift than taffs!
matt

Ahh Newport, just up the road for me, I'll put myself forward as the gooseberry then and mum says I'm not to share beer tokens with strangers...you mean t'other Newport don't ya'? I may have to be a camp gooseberry in that case unless you fellas fancy a trip to Pembs

Mike

It's a possibility and don't appologise for being thick Mike

cheers, Jon

All,

Our South Wales Pals soiree will be held at the Ponthir House Inn, just outside Caerleon on Friday August 21st. Kick off will be 7.30pm.

All welcome - first round is on Bruce..............allegedly.

Regards,

Mike

not a problem mike have plenty of 303 rounds going spare should be a good night also a chance to meet the sculptor of tommy a very talented man look forward to it

Tafski

ps the ltd edition cold cast bronze of 90 is still available

To cope with the vast numbers attending the Pals meeting, we have changed the venue.

It was a toss up between the Millenium Centre, or the Raj Gate. The Raj Gate won because
they do a good curry.

If anyone would like to share a naan bread with Garron, Adrian, Bruce and Mike, all still
welcome. Kick off still 7.30 - should be a good night.

Regards

I'm looking forward to it, can't fault a good curry.

Bruce will be giving the directions as I tend to get lost just after Malpas

Gaz

I would love to but being between the devil (North Wales) & the deep blue sea (South Wales), or vice-versa, I do fear my options are very limited.

Have a great night anyway.

Now, whilst I have your undivided attention in Wales, have a look at THIS posting.

Regards

Martin

Just a reminder to Garron BRING yer WALLET fully charged see ye tonight lads

Tafski

South Wales Pals Update

It was a great pleasure to meet the Pals tonight, although on reflection, the Millenium Centre was a better option given the attendance.... (see pic)

For the sharp eyed, Adrian and Bruce are top left holding pints, and Garron and I are in the foreground. It was good to put faces to names, and I think we all look forward to the next time.

Regards,
Mike

A Great night, good company good food and good beer,also some very intresting ww1 history and artefacts

Never mind, there's always the Somme in the spring.

Tafski

Where is this Land of Song? Southern California, where the Beach Boys were from?

Tafski

I saw some whales once in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast. They were migrating south.

Darn, missed out on the popodoms and the Welch migrating whales

Jon
