How about an informal evening meeting in Norwich on Monday's from about 8pm.
Syd Hancock and I have been discussing a suitable venue for this off-list, but are having trouble coming up with one.
We thought a quiet pub would be good but if it's in the city centre parking might be a problem.
Anyone know of any pub's or coffee bars, cafes etc. in the city centre that might fit the bill?
I've often parked in the Forum car park when going out in Norwich in the evening so venues around the Forum might be a possibility. (is the Theatre coffe bar a possibility?)
8pm on a monday evening is fine with me too. The coming monday is easter of course so maybe a week on monday for the first get-together? If I have my sums right, the monday after that is a bank holiday.
I don't know either Norwich or its pubs at all well so cannot suggest anywhere. The Wild Man that I was asking about on the social list looks OK, central Norwich, easy to find, no idea how busy it is on a monday evening. Or there is a big pub on the right just up the hill past the guildhall (St Giles?)
My thoughts also. I've only lived in Norfolk for a few years so I'm not too well up on the local pubs. There's a pub halfway down the Newmarket road that used to be an Internet 'Cafe' sort of affair, that might be a possibility. From my experience of other cities there are often pubs that seem to get most of their trade from working people during the day and are pretty quiet in the evenings, so it might be worth looking at a city centre venue. Big problem with city centre is parking.
True and true - when shopping etc I usually use the multi-storey off St Giles but it is a bit dear. There is the pay-and-display on the inner ring road by Toys'R'Us, end of St Benedicts street (and there is the Arts Centre on St Benedicts, nice little bar/cafe in there too).
Probably best to ask on the list as there's a few members who live in Norwich and might be a bit more knowledgeable. What we need is a 'Norwich Pubs Howto' :o)
I agree, let's put it to the list (although I like the idea of the Arts Centre unless there is an event there that evening).
