Originally posted by stevetoddAgreed, but there are plenty of pubs around Tottenham Ct Road that will let you hire the downstairs function room out for the evening.

Originally posted by StarrmanOne word of warning, near Xmas this kind of thing gets way harder to pull off...so if a room is needed, something will need to be booked.

I know the manager as well, so maybe I could wrangle a couple of trays of tequilas.
I'd be against hiring a room as I think that can mess up the atmosphere.

Originally posted by Ragnorakyeah that's definately the other side of the coin, no doubt about it, could we sort of take over an area within this place?

Edwardipov posted this earlier, i think it's a good location...
there are lots of good pubs in fitzrovia/bloomsbury. good points: the pubs will be quiet at the weekends, it's central for everyone, and it's near the uni so the pubs are used to geeks playing chess

The first thing to spring to mind, since we're a bunch of nerds on a night out is: THE GAMES WORKSHOP.
But, I'd just get to playing warhammer and forget all about you.

Is quite a good site when it comes to reserving accomodation for sleeping.

Originally posted by StarrmanI will have to bring my travel chess set just so I can beat Russ and have the rep of beating RHPs founder. We could make it a sub bet. If I win I get a free sub for a year and if I lose I pay double sub. 🙂
Fantastic!
Though even you could beat Freddie, Russ...
I'll buy you ten beers if you put a Mod button in my user setup so I can delete people's posts at will 🙂
