The idea of a later summer ball is far more appealing.
Unless "summer" is like 2012 and everyone ends up soaked, with a tide mark up to their knees...James P said:
Not sure how you have got to here from my starting point that a group of 180 of so people attending a single event being likely to include at least one group that others people might perceive to be a clique. I don't think that I was ever one of the people accusing RWR and hangers-on as a clique anyway and you were the one who brought DD's into the mix.
I should have at least given you someone to talk about disparagingly on Thursday so that is my job done and the important thing of course is that you got to use your favourite smiley again
I was taking the piss James, something I do all the time I should have at least given you someone to talk about disparagingly on Thursday so that is my job done and the important thing of course is that you got to use your favourite smiley again
I didn't say, or imply that you did - I know you better than that, they're your friends why would you say they were cliquey?
Poley started on about DDs and he was the one that brought up RwR! I merely told him what I knew about it ATM - I haven't made it for 18 months due to lack of work/work being in the wrong location, know my contract ends in December & I'd be able to go at Christmas and as it's October asked a few what would be happening at Christmas & was told its to be discussed in the pub.
I confused as to why you would think you would be the topic of conversation, unless of course you turned up & it was how pleased everyone was to see you. If you plan to turn up, I shall be sorry to miss you - I won't be there until Christmas as my Mum is dying & I'm not doing any social events at the moment. If Mum makes it that far I won't be there then either.

The idea of a later summer ball is far more appealing. The idea of a marquee, some form of more formal entertainment and such like has an attraction for me at least far greater than a warm pie and dave-doubledecks playing the greasemeddley (well Ok, the last bit is a bit of dramatic license, but i'm sure you get the gist of it).
This event needs a total revamp.
The event does need a total re-vamp, but a summer ball isn't feasible as already mentioned in the thread too many clashes - that idea in Autumn would work This event needs a total revamp.
I know for my pocket the further away from Christmas the better! (I'm not good at budgeting my £££

Give it a rest you lot. Your responses are both as b
hy as each others and the real world interactions you have. Enough already.
It's enough to put anyone off ever attending a PH gathering again. FFS.
My apologies, I turned the page & saw this after I had replied.hy as each others and the real world interactions you have. Enough already.It's enough to put anyone off ever attending a PH gathering again. FFS.

I haven't meant any of my posts as bhy, just facts I promise I shall not rise to the bait & respond again.
ETA - I really & truly don't meant to come over as b

Snip
SnipAs I have said before sorry to hear about your mother, that obviously takes your priority over every else.
I may have rather missed the point of what you were trying to say and how you were saying it, in which case I apologise. However I do suspect that you are not aware of everything that has gone on since your birthday party in July 2011 but this is not, if anything ever will be, the time or the place for that to be aired.
Apologies all, can we get back to BTaP now?

What or who are RWR?
Race What Race - A collective of like minded individuals/friends who attend Lemons and do nothing but avidly watch the race, drink no beer and then swear nothing ever happened. HHGTTG - Mostly Harmless
Maybe meeting PHers in real life is a bad idea after all?
You're my mate!
Just mates

Nope, I've made some of my very best friends through PH - even introduced JamesP to his (now) wife Shnozz is right, there are cliques, but it is not cliquey iykwim.
You can walk into a bar full of locals & feel excluded because of the cliques
You can walk into DDs/BTaP & are made to feel welcome to be there.

Phew, that's that mystery solved for me too!

Yes, very much so.Maybe meeting PHers in real life is a bad idea after all?
I met my best mate through PH, and have ended up helping him renovate his house, babysit his daughter, goddammit, it was so much easier when it was just some random person on the internet I argued about cars with
