Do Bristol Urbanites ever have a meet up?

Living down in Somerset for the last 3 years, I lurked on the B&SW board but never really posted much because I seemed a bit away from the rest of you.

However, three weeks ago I moved to Bristol and I was wondering if meet ups ever get organised amongst those who live there. I'm sure I've seen threads about them in the past, but buggered if I can find them.

So do they happen? Are they organised through the boards?
 
They used to happen a lot more regularly than they do now. Alas, various people have either moved away, stopped posting or grown up.

There are still a few of us about though. I'd be up for a pre Christmas drink :)
 
Whereabouts in Bristol are you, Stavros? We have been meaning to organise a drink for ages, since Kropotkin moved here, but not got around to it yet.
 
I'm up for meeting, if this isn't to distressing a concept for anyone. :D Met a couple of the SWers.
 
I'll be passing through Bristol on the train a couple of times in early December, can you still break your journey for no extra cost?

If so, or even if not, I could pop in on a central Bristol meet on those days...
 
Well if this is gonna happen, can I sort of make a bid that it isn't on weekends starting 25th Nov or 2nd Dec? Am away then. Don't mind a week day evening if it's just a few pints, FWIW and that.

Was the frantic pace of Taunton too much for you Stavros?

That, and it was a little too close to Bridgy for anyone's liking. ;)

I'm in Clifton (I know, hark at me), but work in the city centre. I've explored a little around Cotham, Redland, Hotwells and down into Southville, but I could get pretty much anywhere in the city if someone knows a good pub.
 
Yeah- I'd be well up for this. Now I have a kid all I do is go work -> home -> work ->ASDA -> home

Drinks would be good. Anytime is good for me pretty much, weekdays better.
 
"No dad, you tool, I totally can't make the pub then, I BIMmed you before, I've got a Waybuloo soft toy swap meet with my main brars that weekend, feel me? BRAP!"

:(
 
I'll pop along for a pint if I'm free.

Pubs around Old Market are well worth a visit these days. You could do a good crawl from the Barley Mow in the Dings down Old Market via the Stag and Hounds and Old Market Tavern then finish in the Volunteer, which is now under new management and very good apparently.
 
Not meant to be a definitive list! Just a suggestion.

Never been in the Long Bar - maybe this could be the first time! Or maybe not.
 
I quite like the Old Market Tavern idea. We used to go there after our anti poll tax federation meetings in Shepherds Hall. Or t could have been the other one a few doors away, I get confused about which is which.
 
old market somewhere sounds good. not going to be too busy, but nice and easy for people from all over to get to.
