Joe Goes To Thailand
(all day)
Start: 3 Jun 2008 - 14:44
End: 18 Jun 2008 - 14:44

It will be hot and sunny and there will be nice beaches with plenty to bars and oodles of things to see and do but it will no doubt be hell and I'll be wishing every day I was back at work in Burton or trudging through the rain to the Country Girl for a night huddled under the heaters whilst people yell global socio/political doubleplus truths down my ears.

Still, I shall write and let you share in my misery.

Zutons @ Sherwood Pines Forest, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
Start: 16:50

Paul wants people to go and watch the Zutons in a forest in Nottinghamshire. It's £26 plus a booking fee of another fiver. Not sure if I actually like the Zutons or not and if I do whether I actually like them enough to pay £31 + accomodation costs to see them.

Anyway you might....

Neil and Amy's Wedding at the Custard Factory and then Spectrum in Brum....
Start: 21:59
End: 23:59

If six and half hours solid drinking at the naming ceremony followed by more alcohol at the Paul and Kezza's house isn't enough for you, there is further drinking opportunity later in the evening. My mate Neil (who some of you have met at different festivals) is getting married to Amy (who I don't think any of you have met) at the Custard Factory tomorrow. Tim and Gemma (who most of you know) are coming up from Lowestoft and Matt (former fellow cock basher with a bald head and upwards) is here from Japan for the wedding.

Pohoda Festival
Start: 00:00

Pohoda is Slovakian for relax and the festival is an attempt to create an atmosphere where revellers can chill out, let down their hair and unwind. Imagine a weekend at a spa but with the soundtrack of some of the world’s greatest acts.

Even the location is calming: an airport located at the foot of the Strazovske vrchy hills in the beautiful valley of the Vah River. The event amalgamates a variety of arts with sculpting, painting, dance, literature and theatre with music being the proverbial glue that holds it all together.

Big bang gaming night!
Start: 19:20

I believe some of the club's women are gathering for natter and drinksies (or whatever else the female of our species gets up to) on sat 27th Sept. As this renders some male members inert (oo-er) and home-bound I propose a

MAMMOTH GAMING NIGHT

with as many of us online as possible.

In preparation for this spectacular event it might be wise to cross-reference our multi-player games and for us to, perhaps, get hold of some new game or two to try out.
