Here's the first thread on the forum from April 2nd 2006: Welcome Guests

So I'm thinking we hold a party on Saturday 2nd April. Somewhere in the midlands so it's going to be easiest for the majority to travel to.

Not sure on the details. We could do with bashing it out in this thread to see what sort of interest we can drum up.

Perhaps if I first stick a poll up to see if anybody would be interested?

I'm thinking black tie event with awards for the decade. Maybe some competitions. Perhaps some hands-on stuff early on in the event? Not sure if it's worth getting changed and whatnot later into the suits mind.

Work in progress?!

I'd like to see some of the old faces who have made the forum what it is, but for whatever reason aren't around anymore. So if you do get in touch with them via other forums or offline, please do pass the message on. It'd be cool to see everybody there.

Sounds like a great idea.
I'd rather go paintballing than pick up a trowel before dinner tho.
Could be quite fun 100 members getting rid of some frustration between us paintballing 😀

 

[Alan.P]

Sounds like a plan, black tie though 😕

 

[Dan]

We can do smart too can't we?!

I think I've got a pair of shoes somewhere.

 

[Alan.P]

I don't scrub up well lol, used to be much happier in my boots 😵 of course, if I can attend I'll go with the flow

 

[Dan]

I'd just like it to be a smart event. There's no need for us to come in our work clothes.

 

[Dave]

Jeez doesn't time fly ...

My joining date was 12th April 2007 if I recall correctly...

 

[Dan]

I don't think anybody can say different mate I wouldn't know mine if it wasn't account ID1 lol

Absolutely flown it has.

 

[Angel da Silva]

I'm sure Smart Casual could work? Clothes you'd go out in, not clothes you'd go 'out out' in (casual reference to Micky Flanagan there 😉 )

 

[Ian]

You can count on me being there, don't forget the karaoke Dan

 

[White Room]

3rd April 2007 when I joined, hope Dans got a free bar🙄

Nah these need to be clothes you go out out out in. Like proper out. No milk or bread or anything.

 

[andy8758]

I'm with Dan here. Work clothes are covered in cement, salt stains from sweat, and lots of dried blood. I make a point of looking like somebodies accountant when I am not working.

Smart casual is what techno yuppies do to be cool. And I never yet met a "cool" tiler.

Good point.

You're in then?

 

[andy8758]

Good point.

You're in then?

Yes. As long as I can bring a driver.

 

[Dan]

Yeah I'm sure that's alright. We haven't actually worked much out yet to honest.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I'd come, black tie though, not sure about that, suited and booted would be okay but strictly black tie would be out of my comfort zone.

 

[Old Mod]

How'd u feel about a black wing suit @Doug Boardley ? 😀

 

[andy8758]

My idea of a great party used to be barrels of beer, and a room full of nurses.

Now it's a glass of wine and a nice natter. Age does you no favours....

 

[Dan]

Suited and booted it is then. Can't have Dougy not coming.

All agreeing say Eye....?!

 

[Dougs Third Go]

eye eye skip 😉

[Dougs Third Go]

just purchased some new shooting breeks via ebay...haha, don't worry, strictly for fells and occasional morris dancing 😉

 

[Dan]

Which ones? Give us a link! 😛😀😕

 

[Dan]

Obviously haven't heard about the after party then.

 

[Old Mod]

Errrr......no?
But I'd like to! 😵

 

[Dave]
