Meeting up in Brighton
« on: May 18, 2013, 11:37:41 AM »
I know we are all meeting up two days after the Brighton show in London, and can't personally wait!

I am wondering as so many of us will be attending the Brighton show on the 25th that it might be nice to meet up again around 16:00-16:30 somewhere to chat and have food/beers before the show?

Any ideas for place for us to meet?

How about the 'Bright Helm' in West street - It's Literally a 5 minute walk to The Brighton Centre from there...
If I remember rightly it is a huge Pub...

A neat venue is the bar of the Hotel du Vin in Ship street, v close to venue too. Quite expensive but great ambience and plenty of room.

I haven't been to the Wetherspoon's pub so difficult to comment. Wetherspoon's is a pub chain that makes it's money on relatively cheap alcohol, cheap and usually (imo) nasty food, and generally cheap/nasty d

In 2008 we ended to Buddies if I am correct (located less than 5 min at walking distance from the exhibition center).

And contrary to f..king RAH aera, it's open 24h so no worries to find somewhere to eat/drink AFTER the show...
