Anyone up for a snowCial meeting during September? Arrangements very fluid, in fact, virtually non-existent. They were but are now taking shape Depends on who, how many, when, what snowHeads fancy and where they're setting off from.
To give vague ideas, the venue could be a transport hub city, eg Birmingham, Worcester, Derby, Nottingham, etc. It will now be Birmingham city centre
It could also be TAMWORTH. Not too shabby for transport links, still good for eateries and drinkeries. Has one distinct advantage. An indoor snowShed ! 
Could be a good leg, jaw and liver warmer-upper ahead of supporting one of the snowHeads OktoberTests, usually in monChesta and hemel hempStead. Tamworth snowdome could be another excuse for a separate snowCial
If youve not already, let me know on here or by PM if interested please. Full details very soon

@PeakyB, Yup…I’d be up for it. I’m based in Birmingham in the week. Tamworth would be fun, and I would be up for it in the second half of the month as I have some new skis in need of a try out (just need Mr P to bring my boot back from France) but a bar in Brum city centre is also an option. I’m not around from 20th Sept for a week.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Perty, Hi and thanks for your reply, which makes 4 so far.
I’ll let this run for a few days. I’ll also send PMs to Midlands based s, in case they’re not looking on the Forum much in high summer.
Around the end of next week I’ll ask all to share availability, preference for location, what the snowCial should include, etc.

Haven’t got round to PMing those other midlands based snowHeads I know, so must do better later today

@Perty, looks like I inadvertently left you off my list, so my apologies for that.
The date that’s emerged that suits a few s is Friday, 27 September, starting late afternoon / early evening.
Based on your earlier message, I don’t think you could make that, unless your plans for a week away have changed? If not this time then hopefully for a follow up SnowCial in the not too distant future.
Venue details and times the asap.

@PeakyB, actually, I should be able to make it- we are back from our travels on 26th, and I can be in and around the Birmingham area the afternoon of 27th unless work sends me to a completely random destination.
Not quite sure what you mean by “venue details and times the asap”…..Do I take it they are TBC?

@Perty, thanks, that’s excellent, glad you’re back in time to join in. It will be Birmingham city centre and very likely a late afternoon start.
Drinks and quality chat in one pub, followed by drinks, optional food and entertainment in a second venue, for those that want to carry on snowHeading.
Yes, sorry, my typo, should’ve said ‘venue details and times tbc’, as you guessed.
I’m just waiting on confirmation from a couple more ‘probables’ before we agree details as a small group.
On a completely different date, we may be able to get a Tamworth Snowdome group visit going, while they still have good low season deals on.

Already 7 or 8 interesting and/or very amusing s confirmed. Birmingham city centre, 10 minutes maximum amble (I limped it!) from two main rail stations, close to frequent buses. Rental bike stations in handy places too. There's even trams.
Flexible timings, late afternoon start for drinks and chat, nibbles for the lucky, in a quietish bar. Followed by optional onwards and upwards, 5 minute amble, to an atmospheric and lively venue, at around 6.30-7pm. Food, drink, entertainment there. Leave as early or as late as you like. I'm finalising details of venues, timings, etc soon.
Any s , or potential s who've yet to have the pleasure, welcome to join in at either or both venues. Trying to be as flexible as possible. Reservation needed eventually at the second venue. Any questions on here or PM me please.
