Henry Irving

Just a reminder that we have three scheduled meetings during the remainder of this season

Bromley Pairs Quiz - Wednesday 25 January.  100 questions on Charlton.  Some very straightforward and some very difficult.  No entry fee and you can turn up on the night.  All welcome to come along and see if they can beat Shirty5 and Johnny H.


Chris Powell (to be confirmed) Wednesday 14 March.  The return of the Gaffer but now in what should be happier times.  This will be a MEMBERS ONLY meeting but you should be able join on the night depending on demand. £5 adults, £3 seniors and students Free to under 18s

Richard Murray Wednesday 9 May.  The traditional end to our year and this will be MEMBERS ONLY and possibly all ticket.

All meetings, as usual, at the Bickley and Widmore Working Mens Club, Tylney Road, Bromley, BR1.

Sorry but it seems our venue may be closing so watch this space.

Real shame as they have generally looked after us Addicks very well down the years but like so many licensed premises it's hard to make the figures add up.

Anyone who knows a suitable venue in Bromley (preferably to the east of the Borough) with room for 100 - 120 people, a bar, good access and a football fan friendly management (ie NOT Bromley Labour Club) please inbox me.

£300 to £600 bar takings on a mid-week night from groups of 60 to 100+ well behaved fans available.

Cheers, I'm told the steward there is an Addick so at the moment is between the Con Club and the Beaverwood.

Selhurst Park social club?

In Croydon otherwise would have been our automatic choice

Henry

i can offer you a hall with a good bar in catford

also have you approached bickley park and bromley cricket clubs ?

cant seem to inbox you

cheers

Henry Irving

Cheers,

Catford is a bit out off our patch but if you want to re-launch the Lewisham Addicks Group I can point you in the right direction.

We tried Bromley Cricket Club a few years ago and it didn't really suit but Bickley Park could be ideal.  Was at a do there recently and it seemed fine.  Maybe a bit small.  Do you have a contact there?

Sorry Ben ...not interested in the relaunch but if anyone is i can accommodate it

i ll be back re Bickley Park although you might be better off just knocking on their door

There is also the old Granby sports ground in elmstead lane would that suit ?

Will pop in there as walking distance from me.  Someone else suggested the old Granby ground.  All depends on how reasonable they can be on price.

Cheers

Henry Irving

Let me know what they think lolwray

DPFC

Not sure if its still there Bromley Common social club in great elms road and it's not far from th B&W

Henry Irving

@DPFC

I thought it has closed but was told it's still going.  Never been but looks very small from the outside.

DPFC

Not been in there for years. there is quite a large hall behind the house/ front

 

Eirik Bakke

Inbox still not working.

 

Bit out the way of Bromley centre but Farnborough football club in the village, behind the Woodman pub is a lovely venue. A few addicks there too.

Played there for a number of years and know that they would be more than grateful for the business.   Will pass on contact numbers if you're interested

Henry Irving

cheers Eirik, worth a look

Eirik Bakke

lolwray

henri

Henry Irving

cheers, £50 was what we were paying before and 120 is same capacity.

Henry Irving

Latest news is that the Bickley & Widmore might be saved.

Still going to look at other venues anyway. No reason to stick with the B & W just out of loyalty.

lolwray

henry

have sent something to you re above if not received let me know

Henry Irving

Have inboxed you but not seen anything

Richard has asked to move the meeting back to 16th May.

Henry Irving

Unfortunately, we've had to move the pairs quiz too due to the uncertainty over the Bickley and Widmore and the clash with Great Rock and Roll Weekend that Ian Wallis organises

Eirik Bakke

Henry, did you get my message with phone numbers in it mate?

Henry Irving

Hi, yes I did, thanks

I'm waiting to hear about the B & W but when I have will follow up the various suggestions.

Henry Irving

Two bits of news.

1. "You've got Chris" was email I just got from the Club so all set for the 14 March when Mr Powell turns up apart from having a confirmed venue.

2. Appears the Bickley and Widmore has been saved and it being done up but still not sure that we'll be able to use it for meetings as yet. We have our top working on it.
