Hi Everyone,

As it's 10 years today since I first joined the forum I thought it was a good time to post details of the next meet up.
Everyone seems busy at Christmas so I thought we'd go for February.
I've spoken to Patrick at the Bull and we're booked in so even if there is a problem with the forum website this time (heaven forbid) we will still be there at 12 o'clock.
Please put the date in your diaries and your name on the list and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year.

Oops! Lyn pointed out to me that I hadn't put the address in my post - good job Lyn's got her eye on the ball! The Bull is at 1 Price Street, Birmingham and for those of you with a Satnav it's B4 6JU.

For those who haven't been to the Bull before - there are plenty of buses and lots of free parking. You'd be most welcome.

nice one froth...as you know there is now a notice up reminding us to mind the step:D:D
 
Eric, as always, amazing work; where is the location of the canal side painting please?
 
Morturn, Glad you like it, the canal is by junction of Tyburn Rd/Lichfield Rd (where Spaghetti Junction is now), looking towards city centre, the chimney was the old salvage works. I used to walk up the tow path, under Dartmouth Circus to Newhall St sketching on the way, canals was/is one of my favourite subjects. Eric
 
I've put you all on the list, thanks.
Eric, I'm torn between two of the pictures - the canal one and the second cottage. Where is the second one please? It's the sunlight I like in this one.
 
Lady P, Its a Cotswold Village, don't know which one I'm afraid. I could drop them of at your house a few days before the meet, then your could chose the one you like at your leisure from the actual painting, and bring the remaining 3 paintings on the day, just a suggestion ? my post #11 gives the location of the canal scene . PS It was the sunlight which made me want to paint it !! Eric
 
Thanks Eric, very kind of you. I'm a sucker for paintings with light. So clever! We'd love to see you anytime but I'll decide before the meet up.

So far we have:

Lyn (if she can)
Mikejee
Morturn
Eric
Phil
and yourself (if it snows we will clear the step).
Plus Graham and me.

Have I missed anyone so far?

Hope to be there Lady P. Depends when my husband has his surgery. All we know so far is "in the New Year"!!
 
Thanks Brian, your name's on the list. Do hope you can come Janice, it would be nice to catch up. It would be good to get the surgery over with though.
 
A quick reminder that the meet up is taking place on 3rd February. Do hope we'll see lots of members coming especially some new faces.
 
thanks pen...hope to be able to be there...be nice to see you again janice as we have not seen you for a while so fingers crossed....dont forget folks we do not bite...so long as we have eaten:D:D

I will wholly concur, this will be an amazing meet up, always very enjoyable, friendly and welcoming. It’s what we Birmingham folk do well.
 
Only two weeks to go for a chance to win one of Eric's wonderful pictures in the raffle on 3rd Feb. I've learned a lot from chatting to people at the meet ups so why not come along and see if you can pick any information up too. We meet at 12 mid-day and you can stay as long as you like. If you haven't been before just pop in for a pint and a chat. The Bull is in Price Street in the old Gun Quarter
