[Archived] BRFCS Sportsmans Dinner

[thenonda]

All,

Following Glenn P's appeal for help I am going to arrange a BRFCS Sportsmans Dinner for sometime Q1 2012!

Just wanted to understand the interest and when/where would be best? Ewood, Canberra Club, Hotel...

Anyways let me know.

Cheers

Gary

[Ricky]

Ewood would be great but may be expensive. As for guest speakers surely it would be ideal to get garner for the first one

[thenonda]

will have more details later this week agreed garner would be great!

would want the tickets to be reasonable so would depend on what rovers could do for us.

[Stuart]

Dates permitting I'd be up for this.

It'll be interesting doing the table plan!!

[Ricky]

Ha ha, as long as we have a mod table in a nice elevated position

[ABBEY]

If its anywhere but venkys coop then yes if at ewood then I won't be giving the V's any more of my money.

A good point which in the current climate a few will be in agreement with you!

Would love to come to this if you can organise one, will bring the wife too if Women can come?

I think you mean partners. There are women who post on BRFCS!

[AllRoverAsia]

If its late 1st Quarter I'll try and time a UK visit around it.

Garner as Speaker would be good - my all time favourite.

[thenonda]

For me, anyone can come:

anyone know how to do a poll?

[Tom]

I'm up for that in fact I looked into organising one last year but got sidetracked.

Blackburn rugby club quoted me decent prices so that may be worth a check pal.

I like the sound of that ricky we can tell people off all night

You had a kid, distractions don't come much bigger! Though it probably is worth you to swapping notes (and BPF who I believed looked into it last season).

I know traditionally sportsmans dinners tend to be all mail affairs, but this really needs to be open to all (well, all adults, or the drinks license could be a mess).

[Mike Graham]

Great idea and I am happy to support. I have Howard Webb speaking at a work event next month, do you want me to contact him when a date and venue is arranged?

or we could go t'wam

[Tom]

Last one I went to was in rishton golf club Abbs bit of a shoddy place.

I personally think its better as members only so people mingle more but I'm happy either way.

[SAS]

Think it's a great ideA, I would be interested.

I also think a table plan needs to be created on here before any event, so that people who know each other can share a table.

[darwenblueswearehere]

I'd be really interested in attending this, but any chance it could be held in/near a decent hotel for those of us who don't live locally and would have to stay overnight?

[ABBEY]

+1 all those who want to sit next to me lol!

[Tom]

If you're buying the beers I'm happy Abbs, I'll even pretend I know about Tim Tebow.

Wonder if Fernhurst do them? Just thinking f places with access to hotels as there aren't many hotels in the area

King georges hall could be a good shout depending on price and numbers.

It needs organising date setting and people committing to buying a ticket.

yeah I'd be up for that and if either roversmum or kamy are coming I wouldn't mind sharing a table with either or both of them.

Roversmum's married. Don't know about Kamy though, he might be available?

[ABBEY]
