No.
Me and Miss-Shelf think a Penge drinks would be a good idea. And possibly Beckenham
I also went for Sunday lunch at the Conquering Hero. It has a large garden and space for kids to play (and they are family friendly). Food was good.

In fact, we could do a Penge one instead of the South Norwood pub, which I still haven't been to, but which is looking pretty run down from the outside.

I was sneakily looking forward to the south norwood one

We did a Penge drinks once - we went to the Bridge House not long after it opened/re-opened.
boohoo
No.
Was it any good?

Yes. It was a really nice pub (I have no idea if it is still run by the same people), and, as always at an Urban meet, lots of lovely people.

I like the odd late evening pint and its my nearest pub but it seems close at about 9.30pm and they're not very polite about if you happen to venture in at that time either. Prices are also steep. The Pawleyne Arms has picked up since changing hands as the new landlady seems to know a few good bands. The old guy before seemed to be in a permenant state of depression and the pub reflected that.

I will admit that I've not been to the Bridge House for years.
I've only been to the Pawleyne Arms once, even longer ago, and didn't stay! It'd be good to try it again, if it's got a different landlord.

Anarchist Ian Bone is standing in Lewisham West and Penge in 2015.
Arent they two different wards? ETA: Seems not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewisham_West_and_Penge_(UK_Parliament_constituency)
"Following the adoption of this part of the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies this new constituency was born with electoral wards from the London Boroughs of Bromley and Lewisham — the greater electorate and area is in the latter. It was contested for the first time in the 2010 general election"
boohoo
No.
Ok, Lets update the drinks list:
The Ship, South Norwood - June drinks - Guineveretoo
I'm going to change this to:
The Great North Wood, West Norwood - July drinks - gaijingirl ?
I was also thinking another visit to the Conquering Hero at Crown Point (or actually technically it's the old hamlet of Copgate) as they have a great big garden and a fair amount of it is undercover. (or perhaps we could save that for a weekend - they do good food!)
Penge, September drinks - Any volunteers
Crystal Palace, October drinks - Any volunteers?
Big thanks to those who have organised so far!

Is the Penge one going to be at the Bridge House, as suggested elsewhere?

Hmm
We have already had Urban meets in the White Hart and the Alma (in fact, there were a couple of Offlines in the Alma). They both put a lot of emphasis on food, and claim to be quite good at that. The White Hart has a pub quiz, so we would need to avoid that.
I would have said the Grape and Grain, but it has lost its way a bit recently, and doesn't do decent food.
We have also previously had an Urban meet in Westow House (my first, in fact). It's quite a big pub, so there should be room for us, although it gets really busy at weekends.
Maybe we should go to the Grape and Grain while it is still a real ale pub - apparently, it has been bought by Wetherspoons.
Or, the Albert, which is an odd little pub which remains ungastropubbed.
HTH

True fact. I think the vibe is even shitter these days as well :/

It's changed hands and is a completely different pub these days, very swish with expensive food.

The South Norwood Community Festival (which was the last day of the South Norwood Arts Festival last year, so I am assuming that will be the case again) is on Sunday 6 July.

The (much bigger) Crystal Palace Festival is from 26th to 29th June, and includes all sorts of stuff, including the festival itself which is now in Westow Park.
