Friday Drinks - Lincoln tweetup over a jar or two

October #FridayDrinks Tweetup Review

The third #FridayDrinks proved to hold it's own, even against the comedy festival. Thanks once again to the guys at the Adam and Eve tavern for hosting us.

Here's a couple of few things coming out of the evening for your consideration...

  • Christmas tweetup
    First touted last month, most peeps agree that it'd be good to do something for Christmas.
    It seems that the best idea would be to do some kind of buffet at the December #FridayDrinks (4th Dec.). There would be a cost to this (assuming the Adam & Eve can accommodate us) - I'd imagine it'd be between £5-£10. If you think this is a good idea, please @me, DM or comment below - it would mean you committing to the evening.
    UPDATE: We may be moving the date or venue for the December FridayDrinks, Please see the comments below for more information and to vote for your preferred option...
  • New Year Tweetup
    The January #FridayDrinks happens to fall on the 1st, I'm guessing peeps will be feeling a little under the weather that day and might not feel like a tweetup. Should we still meet? Should we meet the following Friday or the preceding Friday? Please comment below.
  • WhoIs listing
    I've recently started to put together a list of tweeps and their other online identities. If you are not on the list< ;/a> and would like to be included, please comment here or get in contact by your preferred method.
    Update: You can now follow everyone who's ever attended in one go: http://tweepml.org/FridayDrinks

I'm in in principle but need to check what's happening that weekend. It's Christmas market time and we've got a friend coming up from London.

I'm in. Buffet at the Dec #FridayDrinks (4th Dec.)

It turns out that the December #FridayDrinks is during the Christmas market and the Adam would for obvious reasons like to open up the room we usually use.
I'm going to put together a poll to see what people want to do, when it's posted, please make your preference known so we can be as fair as possible.

Also, please see the addition to the post above regarding the January tweetup.

Many thanks. Justin

Lincoln tweeps, the Poll for the Dec #FridayDrinks is now open: http://twtpoll.com/s7r0d2 Please visit and vote now.

If we opt for a different night in the Adam, then the question of a buffet still holds...

Thanks guys, sorry to mess around - but 'tis a busy time of year for everyone and we can but try to please...

Hi, Probably won't be able to make the December #FridayDrinks due to the market, I have family & friends that descend for the weekend, plus I probably wouldn't be able to eat any of the food, but hope you have a good time. As for January maybe the week after would be better, otherwise your halfway between Xmas & new year, and again usually quite busy visiting others or being visited. so a later date would be bettter.

8th of jan sounds better for me for the jan tweet up....the 1st would mean bringing the parents along, and as much as i love em i don't think it would be quite their thing!

I've voted for the Xmas market option.

And for the NY tweetup, Jan 8th is better for me.

I was speaking with a bar-man friend of mine.. and this came up in conversation: "my mate works at the Adam and Eve.. he said he had a load of twitter geeks in the other day - and they were kinda weird" hahaha!

As for the tweetups - will see if I can make them nearer the time :)

Constructive comments from bobsonsirjonny as always the man who is 'trapped' in Lincoln, who was it by the way I know all the bar persons in the Adam?

The poll for the Christmas tweetup is now closed, Fri 27th Nov has it with 50% of votes. Looks like the 8th of Jan wins for New Year (though feedback still welcome). View the Christmas poll here: http://twtpoll.com/s7r0d2

Right, going back to the original post for Christmas, the plan is to have a buffet to celebrate the season. This will involve cost, Pip, can you look into this? We'll confirm costs and look for confirmed numbers on the Next tweetup (6th Nov.)

Questions? You know what to do...
