Bristol Mini-Meet and Birthday BBQ (and night out)

After a suggestion from Joe a while back, i'm considering a Mini-Meet/Birthday Celebration for my 29th.
Sadly this cant happen ON my birthday (which interestingly IS the 29th July). As party animal and all-round good egg HoveDan is unavailable. So i'm thinking of doing something the weekend before.
So would anyone be interested in a Bristol mini-meet, on Saturday the 23rd July, including an afternoon in the park (if sunny) or the pub (if wet) followed by an evening out on the town?
I'm sure i can try and get a group discount on any hotel rooms if anyone fancies a day/night out in Bristol and are a bit out of taxi range.
So...any interest?

I'm thinking BBQ in Greville Smyth Park if it's sunny, with appropriate drinks and sporting whatnot (cricket, Frisbee, football etc) or pub grub/curry? if it's raining.
I've seen a few people have BBQ's at the park and i think as long as you stay off the football pitches and put it on a stand no one batters an eyelid.

On the night out?
Well Flea wouldnt be seen dead in any nasty places, and i'm a creature of habit. So it will be strictly half decent bars with top totty. Well away form the stag and hen partys and fights of the waterfront and town centre.
Then onto one of the small clubs in the area, preferably one that HoveDan can find his way out of without walking into a janitors cupboard.

I was in the park today an there were a few people having BBQ's, PCSO's (Police Community Support Officers) wandered through the park and didnt say anything to them so i'm guess that BBQs here are allowed Excellent.

Thats a decent number.
My main concern at the moment is where people will stay overnight.

I like that suggestion Dan.
Joe - What sort of hotel are you after? Pretty sure there would be something to suit all budgets within a stone's throw of the centre.

What we got in the way of local hotels Dave? Also why do we organise a Coupe meet Staurday, BBQ or something similar in the afternoon and then evening out for your Birthday I thought that that was what this thread was all about

Top work by Dan, truely has left my in awe. What a quality mate. After chatting with Dan it looks like this might just turn into a BBQ and night out rather than a coupe meet of any sort. So dont feel the need to spruce your cars up.

Right a little update: Looks like we could turn this into a bit of a weekend! The plan thus far is to meet at the park at 1pm (weather forecast dependant) stay there for the afternoon then, i'm not sure exactly when, we all retreat to our various places and shit, shower,shave and meet up again in town. Probably in GoldBrick House (i can hear Leighton's groan from here ). We'll quickly move on though because it is a bit expensive in there! After this night out on the tiles, I'm wondering who would be interested in finding a nice place for a Sunday lunch and watching the German GP? Note: Should rain affect play, an all weather venue will be secured. (pub)

That sounds like a good plan Dave.
What's the parking like down by the park, and is there and entrance or is it all just open?

That's good then Dan. I know it's over in Southville isn't it? Not usually the greatest area for on-street parking in my experience, but if they have parking then that's good.

He was 27 Sorry guys was looking forward to it too would've been my first one since moving to Bristol. will just have to do something else soon!

Sorry for your loss mate.
Most of us in Bristol are mates anyway so there are plenty of opportunities to come out for a drink in the future. We will however, never take part in a pub quiz again!
As a little update, I am watching the weatehr forcasts for tomorrow and will post a final plan this afternoon. (this is so that those people who are coming from my work wont be standing around in a park whilst we're in a pub!)

Right, i'm declaring this an INDOOR event. Looks like it'll rain tomorrow at least for a bit and given the weather here has been rubbish all week, no-one will want to sit in the park. Given the Golf leanings of some of the attendees, i'm leaning towards a game or 2 of crazy golf at Cabot Circus

Well i was thinking that all the old ladies on here will want to have a gossip and a natter first and probably watch the Qualifying.
So I think we should meet in Eton, on Baldwin Street. Have a natter, watch the qualifying and then head off to the crazy golf with a couple of pints in us.

Many thanks to all the guys who came out for this. It was a great weekend and the living-room pub on Sunday for the F1 just rounded it all off nicely. Someone needs to fill me on where we went and what happened after the Magic bar as its all VERY hazy

I bet she's kept her head below the parapet this morning She doesn't remember anything after Browns! She sent me a text this morning asking that the night out not be discussed when our boss is in earshot

Bloody hell! The other two seemed fine, what had she drank?
Not sure. The only thing i can think of is that a drink was spiked or something. It's easily the worst i've seen her and she was apparently throwing up all of Sunday.

Well I didn't die of food poisoning. In the end I think the kebab offered greater risk than the slightly raw GBK burger! Really good fun, "golf" and all... the problem is I'm not very competitive Reuben, you certainly have a way with photographing the ladies (and their cleavage), mucho pleasure to be had in the queue Dave (Truffle), thank you for expressing your love for me, I shall cherish that moment... forever! I am thinking we should organise something for the end of the month?
