[ACMCC]

I'm in, option 2 sounds fine, if that's the best.

But happy to go with the majority.

Cheers, ACMCC...:tongue:

[matt257]

I may not be able to make it. But I'm happy to donate £7 if needs be

[Pantomimehorse]

number 2 for me, looks like a great venue

[Deano]

I just need absolute confirmations. We need 30 people not 20 + 10 maybes. Ta!

[misterbulgarin]

I'd be up for it, unless something major comes up

[nicwing]

I'm in Deano.

Just a quick point here guys, to make this work, you need to commit your £7.

That way we can confirm the Doggets Terrace Bar, it's a really great location with great views of London and will make a truly memorable evening.
.

[misterbulgarin]

So we'd have it all for ourselves? I'd be happy to chuck in a lil extra, say a 10'er even. Of course the more of us, the less everyone pays.

How much would it cost anyway? to rent it out

[Deano]

Nah we need 30 people, it's not the money that matters. It's £200 and a min of 30 people. Anymore over 30 and the cost each goes down. Though if we spend over £2000 we get our money back (can't see this happening though I might be wrong).

So thanks for the offer of more, but it's the head count that matters not the mollah - otherwise we'd easily stump it up between us.

[misterbulgarin]

How bout if we bring guests? I have a cigar mate whod most likely attend.

[nicwing]

Hi Mister B, Deano is not around at present but I know his issue is the minimum 30 people. The place can take 100 so no problem with bringing chums along!!

post 992, I'm getting nervous!!!!!!!!!!! Don't want to do a Mexican and crash and burn for 2 months!

[Deano]

Yep chums, guests etc, just tell me if you can confirm them so I can get to the magic number!

[misterbulgarin]

nice, least thatll bump up the head count by 1

[cigarsmoke]

Hi Deano

Dead cert myself and Son of Cigarsmoke for option 2, maybe my brother as well but would need to confirm for him.

[Deano]

So definite two more? Excellent.

[cj121]

So definite two more? Excellent.

And another here mate:smoke:

[monkey66]

I'm in.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Please put me down for option two. I'm a dead cert unless work messes me around. :thumb:

Just let me know when/how you want the £7.

[michael69]

Count me in... option 2 of course.

Are we at 30 yet?

(I'll reply to nic's email to confirm as well)

[michael69]

Ok so we're still looking at the 19th September.

We can do two of the following things at the venue Nic has kindly found.

1) Reserve tables at the http://www.doggettscoatandbadge.co.uk/ and try to grab outside seats when possible...

2) Get, at minimum, 30 of us together to club £7 each to hire out the Terrace Bar. This would the most ideal thing to do one feels!


What I need now is confirmation of who would like to do number 2, as soon as possible. I suspect we won't get enough people and will have to then look at an alternative, but it's worth putting it out there as it's a great venue.

[jpmoore]

Just checked wife and she has given me permission, put me down mate.

[misterbulgarin]

Ah great its right near london bridge station, that makes it a defo then, unless any Kenties wanna pick me up along the way

[Pantomimehorse]

I have to say the venue looks fantastic, I might have to road test it sooner than the mega herf

[cohibaIV]

Of course Mr and Mrs CohibaIV will be coming....:41:

Option 2 please...

[Deano]

Ah good two more.

[bnelly]

Deffo in Deano :pop2:

[bigbarneyhotdog]

[EvilNoodle]

Count me in :)

Option 2 is my preference.

[daverave999]

What are non-locals doing about accommodation? How late will this be going on?

Book it for 30 mate, if we fall short then we will just make up the monies...they won't know if 30 turn up or not, plus we are not far off anyway...:cowboyic9:

[misterbulgarin]

How do these herfs work anyways?

I only know what robusto and stogiedog look like, let alone 27other UKCF'ers. Should I wear a shirt saying 'IM MR B'? :tongue:

[Simon-JG-hr]

Just look for the decking upon which everyone is enjoying a cigar... :lol:

I'll be sooo p!ssed off if work buggers me about. The evening alone would be well worth it, but the walk looks great too. Must put my name down for that as well thinking about it...

Do the walk mate. It's not just walking to cigars shops but a real decent experience, Nic is the man when it comes to the walk...:cowboyic9:

I loved it..

Thanks IV.

And this time we will do the full walk all the way to the Churchill Museum Cabinet War rooms where I am looking to do some kind of deal for all of us so I hope that even those who did the walk before will join us at either the Red Lion in Crown Passage (for lunch) or at JJ Fox and Robert Lewis for the last 30 minutes walk down to Horseguards Parade.

N

[misterbulgarin]

Might not be able to get there so early, im thinking me and my mate could get there for 11-12ish so possibly we could make it to the Red Lion

[Deano]

Misterbulgarin can you confirm how many of you ate coming so I can add to the list?

[misterbulgarin]

1 x Misterbulgarin
1 x Bulgarin associate

_______
TOTAL
2 x Young kent men

[cohibaIV]

I and Mrs CIV will be wanting to be doing the walk...(Mrs CIV did not do it last time)...:cool:

[Deano]

Our sponsor is throwing in a box of cigars for the event so one of each of the first 25 will receive a cigar (maybe two) :hail:

Please post to this thread http://www.ukcigarforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=29388 (http://www.ukcigarforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=29388) if you are interesting in joining us on the walk.

I am trying to get some special technology for the day so that everyone can hear the walk at the same time, also, I am looking at getting a group discount so that we can all go around the Churchill Museum Cabinet War Rooms at the end of the walk and before we head off to the Herf at 6.00pm.

I will also check the river boat times for a saturday as it's posible we may be able to get a boat down from Westminster pier to Blackfriars after the Cabinet War rooms as I am sure you will all have walked enough by then!

Any questions please let me know.
Nic

[Pantomimehorse]

Deano please put down Harry for the Herf

[Deano]

This is now booked and confirmed!!! From 6pm 19th September.

We have the option of a buffet. Does it tickle anyone's fancy.

http://www.doggettscoatandbadge.co.uk/

£6.99 or £9.99 a head.

[G-man]

BOTL UK
As much as I would love to herf on the 19th of September for reasons of distance and $ I will be missing U all. Though I can't attend in person I will be there in your thoughts and spirit. I will burn a CC to celebrate this 1 year bash here in Pa.
Any momentoes of this day if possible can be sent to me as so I have for my man cave collection. Now lets PARTY

[Pantomimehorse]

I assumed you would be jumping behind the Barbie Dean and cooking us up some burgers? if not I'm on for paying for the buffet :der:

[Deano]

I wonder if that's a better way of doing it lol

[nicwing]

Only if you are doing Crepe Souzette for afters.

I'm in for paying for nosh, I anticipate being starving after a long walk, museum trip and a river boat down to the venue!

[misterbulgarin]

Buffet sounds nice actually, dont mind paying extra for some good food, makes the cigar after all the more worth while

[Deano]

OK WE'RE GOING WITH THE BUFFET AS IT SEEMS SENSIBLE AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT. THUS IT'S NOW £15 PER HEAD. THIS IS NOW FINAL.

IF YOU ARE ON THE CONFIRMED LIST, PLEASE SEND ME £15 PER HEAD (pm me for a cheque address)

[misterbulgarin]

sounds good! Will get the funds to you soon (£30 for two of us)

[Stevieboy]

It is with great regret that I can't make it after all. We've just bought a flat in Edinburgh and as you can imagine, cash is low at the moment :(

I'll be thinking of you guys

PS Expect a sale soon :tongue:

[cj121]

[Stogiedog]

Deano sorry I'm coming in late mate head up bum time LOL.

Yep 2nd option fine, in addition Misses Stogie will be attending if thats OK mate. Not wanting to be a kill joy but I assume this terrace bar is covered?

I assume then total per head is £22.00?.

Monies to follow.

Nic could it be possible to redo the cigar walk with the young Misses stogie and the cost mate please.

Just need to confirm detailed timings mate will not want to do the boat trip though.

Looking forward to hooking up with you again Cohiba and Mrs Cohiba. Whats the best site for hotel rooms Dale.

[Deano]

No, no £15 per head includes buffet and bar cover. So just £15 per head. The more the merrier, glad you want to bring her too.

[Stogiedog]

[Simon-JG-hr]

Welcome aboard 'new member', aka Big T UK. :thumb:

Pop over to the Newbie Greets forum and post a little about yourself - with your list of hobbies you should fit right in. :biggrin1:

[Deano]

Big_T_UK you're more than welcome to come - just pay via cheque and see us on the night!

And no guys, I'm afraid it's not covered, we'll just have to make do and cross all fingers and thumbs.

[cj121]

Have faith in the British summer!

[misterbulgarin]

Hope the weather will be ok, a nice bluesky with minimal wind :hail:

[nicwing]

Have a word with the Big Man Deano!

[Rennie]

Will be out of the country when this is on.........:bawling:

Really disappointed to miss this one.:violin:

[Deano]

Guys, at this rate I'll have to cancel the venue.

I've got until a week monday to come up with the 30 guests, and at the moment only a third of you have committed with payment, which suggest we may actually have a lot less people coming than previously thought.

Unless I get a larger share of commitment I will have to forego the venue, refund who's paid, and look elsewhere for a possible location.

[Stogiedog]

Monies duly paid Deano, cheers mate.:smoke:

[Deano]

Ta mate, getting a bit worried!

[cohibaIV]

Bloody hell...gis a chance...had to wave thru about 2000 posts (mostly Stevieboys) with not being online for a couple of days...

Will pay now senior S...:rolleyes:

[Deano]

A little less worried now, but still some laggers. I really don't want to have to go and refund everyone who's paid, it will take forever lol.

[cohibaIV]

Feck it..I will pay the rest...:biggrin1:

[jpmoore]

Feck it..I will pay the rest...:biggrin1:

You could have said that before i paid :p

[deltawhisky]

So sorry, Deano. Can't make it - caught up with a wealth of home / study stuff that I need not detail here - until late September.

I'm absolutely gutted I can't get to meet you all, cos it's been a top time on these forums for me since I joined.

Deltawhisky

[misterbulgarin]

my associate has dropped out, ill mull over til saturday whether or not i want to come alone / with another mate.

[cj121]

Mr B. When I made it along to the inaugural walk some months ago, I'd never met any of the chaps on it. It was a weird concept, travelling alone to London to meet cyber stogie smokers that I had never met. I thought what a frigging freak!

It was great day out.

See you there hopefully mate:biggrin1:

[HabanoSy]

my associate has dropped out, ill mull over til saturday whether or not i want to come alone / with another mate.

Don't drop out Mr.B, they won't bite, well TJ might :biggrin1:, but I don't think he's going this time...!!!

Go on, you'll have a great day out...

Just pissed I can't be there :frown:, HabanoSy

[Simon-JG-hr]

my associate has dropped out, ill mull over til saturday whether or not i want to come alone / with another mate.Your 'associate' - did the plod catch up with him... Do you think he'll talk? :eek:

Most of us will be making the lonesome trip (even if some have met before). I'm sure we'll all look out for any potential Scotland Yardies, so no worries about being in London on that front. ;)

[misterbulgarin]

heh I got no problem going alone, infact I'd prefer that as Im a free spirit, but I like to have a go-to guy to worry about the times / trains / boring stuff . Iv not been too well the past couple of days so my overall spirits are knocked. Im gonna have my first cigar of the week :D today so im sure my herfing need will skyrocket back up

[Deano]

Don't you worry about being alone. I will be coming alone and so will 90% of everyone else. Thus everyone's in the same boat, and a great herfing we will have!

[Simon-JG-hr]

Get those spirits up Mr B (whisky or gin, the spirit doesn't matter... ;) ). Of course, if you're still ill in mid September... :rip: :eek: ...can I have your collection? ;) :pound:

[SAB001]

Must be option 2; http://www.ukcigarforums.com/images/icons/icon11.gif SAB001

[andrewb150]

Space for a newbie, possibly +1 also? Would love to come for the walk as well but have prior engagement in the morning unfortunately.

Cheers,
Andrew

[Simon-JG-hr]

The more the merrier Andrew!

Head over to the Newbie Greets forum and say hello - let us know what we've let ourselves in for... ;) :biggrin1:

Either way, welcome aboard!
:smoke:

[andrewb150]

Deano, just sent payment for me and a friend.

Cheers
Andrew

Ditto.

[Deano]

Everyone's paid except scottish_cuban, so we can assume he's not coming. 31 though, not bad!

[misterbulgarin]

Whats stopping us from just turning up on the day? Im still on the fence, I make lask ditch decisions and maybe friday I would think ahh I wish I was going

[Deano]

Then just let me know bud

[jimmy_g32]

I really hope that this goes well and that lots of pics get posted afterwards. I would have loved to have come but I'm tiedto a weekend work commitment.

[celsis]

I hope somebody brings a good cutter as I'll be flying down for the night and you know what Stelios's staff are like.....

[Jimmeh]

I have put a post in this section regarding the Dunhill section of the cigar walk and seeing if there is something special for us - is anyone interested?

If there are people who will be at the herf but not on the walk who would like a stick then it can be arranged im sure. I fear that they will only sell a box, and i cant afford to cover a box on my own, so i need to know if people are going to want to chip in, i find out price on Friday!

[Pantomimehorse]

Jimm depending on the price Id be interested, I think you will get more take up when you know how much they will be and what it is

[snooky]

Great shame i cant make this, i hope someone stays sober enough to record events, plenty of photos please, have a good un.

[kamaangir]

Ok I roped in another mate for the herf!!
:smoke:

[Deano]

Sweet good work, PM me his name and send over the wonga!

[Jimmeh]

Are you going to update the front page Deano?

[Deano]

With what mate?

[cohibaIV]

under the thumb Dale? :biggrin1:


Nope...Misses is with me..:cool:

[Pantomimehorse]

just checking :41:

[Jimmeh]

With what mate?

I'm still showing as maybe -not that it really matters, but it would be good to see who is defo coming.

[Simon-JG-hr]

You must be two people (you're also listed as paid)... ;)

Bit of duplication, but it appears to be up-to-date. :849:

[tonyg]

Hey REALLY sorry im going to miss this , a few days before the threads about this appeared i booked the 17th / 21st of this month in Nice ,
hopefully ill make the next one or a Christmas meet .

Anyway you guys enjoy your selves now :smoke:

[LondonCigarLover]

Can one turn up and pay on the door?

[Deano]

Would prefer a cheque up front so I don't have to sod about with money on the night, but it's not a biggy if it's one or two.

[monkey66]

Unfortunately I am sad to say I have to withdraw :mad::(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Despite my best efforts i cannot get out of a more pressing commitment.

[bnelly]

I've just booked my train ticket (aiming to go to Fox's lunchtime-ish) and the Holiday Inn Express really close to the Herf :pop2:

Bringing a fellow herfer (HairyDave) along too, whoo-hoo :smoke:

[nicwing]

Hey B.Nelly, the walking party should be lunching at the Red Lion in Crown Passage (behind Foxes) at about 12.30 to 1.00 and then hitting foxes. If you are around come and meet us for a beer and a sandwich.

If not we will find you in Foxes "sampling"

[bnelly]

Aiming for Foxs' around 13:30, so it might work out well - don't think I'll be doing the walk though - want to get ensconced somewhere comfy and herf myself stupid :pop2:

Neill

[bigbarneyhotdog]

ditto

[Simon-JG-hr]

Trains booked here as well!

Due into Paddington at around 9:30am... Hopefully I should have just enough time to make it to the statue for the start of the walk (give me a minute or two if not, please ;) ).

[celsis]

Guys, I hate to admit it, but I'm gonna have to take a raincheck. I'm wanted for work on aturday as we had a power outage when I came in yesterday and we can only do the work when nobody else is here. The money I get for working a Saturday is just so good that I couldn't turn it down.

I don't want any money back, Deano, but if there's any free, nice, cigars going around, I sure would appreciate one!

[Deano]

Shame mate! Can refund you but this is the last refund I can do before I go into the red, so be warned everyone else!

No going back now lads...

[cj121]

I'm driving down as the fares are extortionate to get there on time £40:eviltongue:


Nic, I've got your number, so if for any reason I'm not there dead on time I'll catch you up. Same route?

I've also to finalise payment for the walk mate, last minute Larry, sorry. It'll be done my friend:smile:

[celsis]

No refund needed mate! Just send me a nice seegar!!

[Jimmeh]

Three days to go gentleman(and ladies?)... im looking forward.

[nicwing]

Just a quick note for those of you gathering at JJ Fox during the day, I popped in yesterday and I gather that both Bill and Magali dela Cruz will be in the store on Saturday. If you do not know Magali her brief resume is that she previously worked at both Dunhill and La Casa in Teddington, she is Cuban and extremely well connected in the Cigar World.

She has promised to have a rummage through the vaults to see if she can locate something special.

As I have mentioned before, the walking group will be in the Red Lion around 12.30 ish if anyone wants to join us for a beer and a sandwich.

[EugeneSax]

We have friends staying with us Satyurday night so I can't make the evening herf, but if I get up early enough to do food shopping & preliminary food prep, I might just be able top make it to the Red Lion by about 12:30.

Hope I make it & get to meet some of you then.

[Jimmeh]

I checked the weather forecast for tomorrow - and it originally said that it was going to be warm and fairly sunny. i just checked it again - and now it looks like heavy rain in the evening - but still warm!!!!!! :-(. Is anybody bringing umbrellas?

[Deano]

Yeah it was looking fine, fecking weather forecasters are useless.

I'm going to bring one I think!

I suggest everyone else does...

[bnelly]

Just packing my sticks now :pop2:

[Deano]

Also, Simon Chase, Marketing Director of Hunters and Frankau and all-round knowledgeable BOTL, will be doing a short Q&A from 7ish.

Quite a result!

[nicwing]

I'm packing my galoshes and my German Army festival stylee head to toe poncho, no bloody London 'Lethal Drizzle' is going to spoil this.

As Deano says it's a great result to get Simon Chase to attend, what he doesn't know about cigars aint worth knowing.

He is the guy you will see in all the auction pictures at the Cuba Cigar festival handling all the big sales. On top of that he is a hell of a nice guy.

Just off to collect the radio head sets for the walk tomorrow, pub and cabinet war rooms details finalised, now I'm getting excited!

The Met Office have indeed changed their minds! The one Comforting thing is that they will probably change it again before tomorrow :-).

[Jimmeh]

I have just spoken to Howard from Dunhill - he couldnt put out the Dominican Dunhill. BUT - he has found a box of 10 Por Larrañaga Magnifico - the Cigars that were in the recent Por Larrañaga humidor that was released http://www.broadweighs-cigars.com/blog/2009/04/por-larranagamagnifico-humidor.html (based on the Por Larrañaga Magnum) - and he thinks that these will be in the range between £15-£17 a stick for us. I call dibs on one!!

[SDavis]

Sadly I won't be able to make the evening after all, I hope everyone has a great time and look forward to seeing you at another event in the near future :41:
