Hi Everybody
Following on from the discussions from Coventry I was wondering what time people are planning on arriving on this date. With good weather forecast for the first week of August I think Cardiff Bay is the perfect place to spend the afternoon. So who will be up for this. We can cheerfully sit around and drink & eat in the sun or if people would prefer not to get on it hard to soon there are other forms of entertainment available in Cardiff.
I am thinking of heading into Cardiff Bay at 3pm and just letting it go from there. I reckon wait for everybody to arrive then get a taxi into town or just have a meeting place in town allowing people to head there when they want. Who will be around for and afternoon session by the river and do we yet have arrival times for this most important event?

I am driving in from Swansea after work. Not sure of time yet!
Staying in HI next to casino, So wash change quick snifter and find Phil!
-
We"re looking to arrive at the Travelodge near the casino no earlier than 5pm and probably have our drinking heads on no later than 6pm. Yes, snoozing heads will be on shortly after :)

trying to work out a cost efficient way of staying.... Travelodge is over £100 on Sat night which is a joke!

Dunno about APAT, but Geo did the camping thing once for a blonde bash. In the bushes at the side of a roundabout, next to the casino. I know you"re adventurous, but...

FWIW.
Still seeing just-sub-£70 for Saturday night for some (few) hotels on Trivago.

Other than that they are all in the £80+ region.

Working late on Thursday or would join you, might see if I can switch a shift, unlikely but not impossible.

OK Suggestions for Cardiff
Right it looks like the arrival time for most hero"s is around 3:30pm, at around that time we have:-
Ger
Matt Ward
Dawn
Jack
Curly
Susie
Paulie
Also available (already there) at that time
Rodders
JP Round
Darren (I assume)
Shaz (I assume)
Thank god we didn"t use a nice part of Wales.
Anyway this looks like a great crowd to go to the pub, so I am going to suggest meeting in a pub in Cardiff Bay at 4pm.
The pub I am going to suggest is The Packet as the establishment of choice which is about a 5 minute walk from the Casino (it can be found on google maps). There are plenty of places with good beer and food so everybody should be taken care of (or there were last time I went there and I am told it has not changed much). There are restaurants like Nandos etc also if that is what people prefer. There is also a Wetherspoons type pub. We can then spend a few hours sat in the Sun awaiting the arrival of other hero"s before heading into town at about 7:30pm?
I would suggest Wetherspoons Central Bar as the meeting place as it is central, large and allows late arrivals (who may have driven in after work) to eat if they wish too.
After that we can go on a pub crawl.
Happy to go with another plan if this one is not to everybodies liking :-)
-
I should be there by 3.30pm
Happy with meeting in the Packet and whatever after.

I am currently working in Pyle and will be available Friday for any kind of lets get hammeredfest at around that kind of time.
Only a short journey from work to hotel and then The Packet.
Is there a last longer bet for this evening and or the pokers on Saturday?
-
Shaz and myself will be there for 3.30 as well.
Looking forward to this immensely
-
Will be there between 6 and 7 will text when I get there.
-
Arriving at the same time as Adam, will happily go anywhere and drink much :)
Mega looking forward to this, it"s been too long ( nearly 4 months for me :o)

Well done Del, glad you gave up that silly idea of playing poker, I made that mistake in Coventry. No intention of playing any poker this weekend of course beers ftw.
-
Oh, I plan to be at the G for 9pm and I expect you lot to end the night there where I"ll join again!
You know me Steve. I love a bit of virtual rake free cash.

Nooooo - come on the beer :-)
Actually being serious sadly I am not going to make the end of the night. I have to return to Newport fairly sober on the 11:20pm train. Bad times, but Saturday is huge and I don"t want to be hung over at all, not even slightly.

Is it safe to assume you will be coming straight to us from the football game you are attending? ;)

Some advice from a local below:
The Packet is ok but there are much better places around it... Terra Nova and Salt are just a minute walk away and overlook the Bay itself. They would be my choice,. They also have Balconies. Ely Jenkins and Cwtch bar are also nice (directly opposite the Packet). They are all new places. the Packet has been there donkeys years - will be fine but the other places will be nicer
Sat with Daz & Shaz and they have just been to terra nova and approve! They couldn"t find The Packet!
-
They couldn"t find The Packet!
Shaz can"t find the "packet" hmm
-
Switch the meeting place to Terra Nova if ya like. Either will be fine, I like The Packet but more than happy to go with the flow.
-
That"s settled then.
If we are not in The Packet, we will be in Terra Nova.
If we are not in Terra Nova, we will be in The Packet.
If we are not in either of those 2, we will be somewhere else.
Simples.

Thank god that"s sorted ;)
-
We may as well stick with meeting in The Packet I guess as everybody knows that is what we are doing but if people can"t find it for any reason then either ring somebody or meet in Terra Nova.
Terra Nova and those places are likely to be packed as the sun is out and it is Friday afternoon whereas The Packet will not be so bad so I thought it would make a better meeting place as it will be easier to get the first beer :-)
Still my number is 07432089816. We will find everybody whatever :-)

How do I get to the packet from the casino? Basic directions appreciated.
