Anniversary Beer - Shovels needed
I got a call from the brewery this morning and they're not prepared to deliver to paddington for our next social, leaving us a little bit in the shit. Anyone got a shovel? I've formulated the following devious plans: 1. a kind, friendly soul with a car drives to the brewery/winery in essex and drops stuff off at a convenient holding point (with lack of volunteers, probably my flat), and I will get them to the social a few cases at a time. 2. Similar, except we go next weekend and people pick them up from my house rather than the social. 3. a team of kind people arrange to meet at a tube station in eastern zone 2 and proceed to help me carry beer to the social via the hammersmith and city line. 4. I organise a social at the bridge house for september and we have the beer then (august is YAPC, remember). I'm not sure I can cat-herd effectively enough to make option 3 happen, but does any kind soul with a car fancy a daytrip to a brewery and winery in essex, or will we have to put it back to september? So, shovels anybody? Oh and we need to get artwork that still hasn't been drawn to the brewery by the end of tomorrow if we're going to attack plan 1 or 2. Any artistic shovels? --James

When are you thinking of for this ? And where is the "brewery/winery" ? -- http://rabidgravy.com/ - Music http://gellyfish.co.uk/ - Everything else

Anyone got a shovel? I've left the brewery a voicemail saying we'll come back to it in september. Unless anyone is extremely selfless and fancies a daytrip in essex, that is. Not expecting anyone to. --James

And where is the "brewery/winery" ? It would have to be either in the evening this week to make the social, or more likely next weekend and i'd have to distribute it from my flat. The brewery is in the arse end of essex, Mersea Island, which is not the most convenient place to get to at all. --James

That's near my folks' place, but alas I have no car and they have no immediate plans to drive to London, nor any storage space to spare. Otherwise, I would have been happy to help.

Hi James, long time lurker, first time caller. as a really crap perl programmer but an avid beer consumer, I'd be willing to swap some gut size for guru status. I'm co9 < over by Braintree >, where are you ? have an estate so possible I can get the lot in ( unless you lot are really worse than me and, reading some of the posts, that's very possible ). ta DaveN On Fri, 2009-06-26 at 13:18 +0100, James Laver wrote: > I got a call from the brewery this morning and they're not prepared to > deliver to paddington for our next social, leaving us a little bit in > the shit.
