LadyT:

Debo no to the BBQ it will be a mess. None of us (well maybe two or three of us) know each other personally so who the hell pays for the food? Who brings the equiment?

I still think a resturant is best we all pay our own way.

Possibly option on the cards.

If it is a small group of about 20-25, we could do this by going to a restaurant in the evening that turns into a nightclub at night so Tope5000 can shake what her mama gave her for Sauron.

I am not saying that is what we will do ^{or Tope5000 will shake it} but just an option on the cards.

agabaI23:

Organising is an art and it will take just one good organiser to galvanise.

All those supposedly setbacks won't be enough not to have a bbq

GBAM!

I just refuse to accept something so easy is not possible when Obama is saying "Yes, we can!"

Busy_body:

For the venue, I believe a pub with a beer garden where we can have our own barbecue thingy would be the best bet, I could singlehandedly cater for the food outta my own pocket, but that depends on the date chosen because I have to go Naija this summer

Good idea, sis. We will keep the pub option in mind when venue is to be decided.

Se your food sweet sha?  Anyway the offer is nice. With this offer it is looking like it is best we put something into play in the first half of June.

LadyT:

no pick venue people will fall in line. we all know most are all talk anyway

Yeah, I know some people are still fronting. But the venue is not going to be made public because we are not going to have psychiatrists at the venue so we don't want some lunatics to come.

We have had preferences so far from:

Sagamite
Sauron
El Razur
jay bee
tkb417 (coming from Nigeria so leaves others to decide)
Pataki
Debosky
tboy1
follypimpi
proudly9ja

So 10 guys down.

Secretz
Maray
tubabie
LadyT
Tope5000
Busy_body

And 6 ladies down.

Bring it down to Birmingham i will pay for everything thing except food preparation.

presido1:

Be more specific about what you are offerring, so we can give it serious thought.

House with Garden? DJ already down? Drinks is on offer without us giving you Tope5000 in return?

Busy_body has already thrown in some food.

Some of us will have cars and there can be car-share to Brum which is just 2 hrs drive.

So be more specific and it would be made an option for consideration on the table.

Sorry but b'ham would be outta most ppl's way and thats 2 hrs assuming there is no traffic

BB coming
Now, i cant miss it

so whats the deal?
6 fleshys to go with the bones? its cool like dat
The ratio will probably even out b4 the D-day.

lets go

Again, in case you have not, state your preferences:

Best location and venue (ideal, if someone has a big house with a garden, I wouldn't expect more than 30 people will show up)

Desired date/weekend period (if we can't agree on a date, weekend period is a good start)

Financial approach (contributions required? Or someone owns a cash n carry and is offering)

Desired amenities (PS3, DJ, BBQ, Drinks, Speed dating games, Pole for pole dancing, whatever floats people's boats)

We have had preferences so far from:

Sagamite
Sauron
El Razur
jay bee
tkb417 (coming from Nigeria so leaves others to decide)
Pataki
Debosky
tboy1
follypimpi
proudly9ja
whitelexi

So 11 guys down.

Birmingham sounds like a good idea if peeps can make it like presido suggested.
I know of  a certain house with a large garden there. That venue could be negotiated for free(i guess) if we decide to consider it.

Personally, I prefer London but I have no problem with Birmingham.

It will be like a day out if we leave as a group on a Saturday morning.

Risks are:

1) It will be a shorter event as some people might have to get back early.

2) Some people hate travelling, especially just for a BBQ and might pull out at the last mo.

3) A shorter event leaves tkb417 less hours to work his magic on Maray, is his game tight enough?

4) El Razur will have to leave planning to someone in Birmingham.

But I still think it is a good option on the table as it might workout cheaper for everyone.

An option is better than no option.

for those of us who are Tuface' baby mamas- do we leave Tuface our babies at home?

Just asking on behalf of Tuface!  No need to panic!

Because of the 3 highlighted reasons, i guess London it will have to be then.
But some peeps will have to come down to London too. anyways lets plan on.
what stage are we on?
i guess we can start planning with the number of people we have?

thts right!
if ma game is tight enuff? we shall see on that day

tpiah:

Bring your babies, just notify in advance so we cater for their interest if we can.

We are waiting til Monday morning to see the roll call and preferences, then we will decide event date, type, scale and venue.

Sir tkb Sugar, your Apprentice would be watching to learn.

Sagamite:

I was just kidding but thanks for your response.

I dont think anyone would be bold enough to bring their babies unless it was a bring-your-baby-meet.

Your egregious behaviour has gone on for long enough - You must cease from making threats on this thread else you will be summarily banned. This is your last warning.

Una liberal o!

You still dey gi am warning? If na me, na straight bullet?

There is one thing to be wrong & have bad characteristics and another to be intentionally unacceptable and destructive.

Better give the boy an IV so he can stop complaining.

[b]Good news everybody!

I have done a few "finding a venue mission". So, here goes: There is a place called Biz Bar in Catford, London. It seems to be the about perfect place. They cater for african foods, drinks and what not. They even have good music blasting out their stereo. And what more? They have a basement we can use for our private function with comfy lounge-like chair, plus plenty of room to connect the tv and ps3.

I have spoken to the owner of the place, and so far discussed price and what not. Now, there are two options. We can either turn up and just use the place, or alternatively, we can contribute and have food to eat [not sure if drinks are included].

From my calculation, we may be seeing about 30people or so turning up and as such they owner wants to charge us 5pounds a head - this will cover food [Rice, plaintain and stew]. If anyone wants to get fancy with their food choice, then you need to let us know here.

I am therefore asking us to start talking about contribution - I mean 5pounds a head aint bad. [/b]

I have the manager's number and able to deal with him directly. Sagamite, you may want to hallo at me for this.

So, if you are down with OPP, then let me know if you want us to use this place.

@Poster
I'd need background check of the men done.

Now, am sure you don't want a lil children pretending to be men to show up.

It says right there on the door - No under 25.

If people will want us to use this venue, then they will need to be over 25 I guess .

Catford in Lewisham??
Blimey. . . . . . . . . . .That's South East London!!!!

Look dude, I am trying to be fair as much as I can. If you object to it please feel free to do a bit of leg work and post your alternative venue here. For some reason I have never been mugged since the time I have spent in the south east. The whole "getting mugged" and "east is better than north and south" thing is just unnecessary, we are all grown folks and can we please just act as such? Thanks.

Don't take shit personal, son!!!
The majority have shown their displeasure concerning the South East in the previous pages.
The preferred venue is Central London. . . . . .Not SE.

so when is bbq taking place - catford is one of the safeest places in the whole of the south east.

Dude I am not taking anything personal, and for god's sake grow up will you. I am not your "son"

The whole south is bad and north is better is childish. Hence why I never got involve in the whole bickering. This is a member's vote event. If people will suggest a venue and people vote, then sure why not? However, if you are yet to post a venue or do a bit of leg work, I think it is a bit short-sighted.

The venue I posted is an option, and people can decide what they want to do.

People are indicating July.

I am just concerned about me safety.
Life is precious!!!!

Great!!!!
Lemme be the first person to say: UNACCEPTABLE.

Sauron, no point bickering.

You do not walk the streets with your iphone and ipods hanging down your neck, or do you? Do you walk the streets with your "jamo gold chains" hanging from your neck, wrist and bling all in your teeth? Most likely no. Then you probably have nothing to worry about.

LMAO @ thread
