Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

The Queens Arms is in this years GBG, so thats good enough for me.

Can I propose the next meeting on Thursday 5th June at 2pm.

Stan, doubt I can make 5/6/08, but that doesn't matter. Have a pint for me.

I was thinking that perhaps in future, we could have a Saturday meeting. This may allow a few others to join us.
Not sure.

Anyway without me, I hope you lot behave yourselves.

555, at the moment my portfolios need a little bit of help from somebody, or something and I cross myself and kneel before all mosques, synagogues, churches, Chapels and pubs.

We have had a few Saturdays and don't mind giving them another try Fred.

What is the feeling from you other chaps, would Saturdays be more or less convenient?

Variety is supposed to be the spice of life. Why not. It is good to see different people, and many who would otherwise be interested might be constrained by a "day job". Mind, the time we spend staring at the ruddy screen, I reckon we are just as much in that categaory.

..... I'm OK some weekdays to be in city centre from 4pm .... Thursday 5th June is one of those days ..... alternatively if meeting is to be on a Saturday then 14th June should be OK for me ....

Looks good.

Ok, in view of the above can I suggest Thursday 5th June at 4pm. for our next meet?

Address:

The Queens Arms
150 Newhall Street,
Birmingham.

..... OK with me ..... will be in the City Centre @4.00pm ..... so if it's a 10 minute walk from Snow Hill then I'll be at the Queens about 4.10.....

I will send my crutch.

No comments please 555.

Excellent, just to recap then:

Thursday 5th June at 4pm. for our next meeting.

Address: The Queens Arms
150 Newhall Street,
Birmingham.

This is a new venue for us so any newcomers will have to just turn up and have a scout around for 3 or 4 blokes at a table.

What about the girls?

>What about the girls?
Is it a lap dancing bar then?

PS: 'Nice' to see this thread has reached the 1,000 post mark now.....

Hi all!
Happy to meet up with you guys (and girls) any time.

Please confirm again nearer the time.

Cheers
Amar

Will do Amar.

hopefully the new Wrexham service won't suffer from technical problems:

Troubled rail firm Grand Central has been forced to cut the number of trains from the north-east of England to London because of technical problems.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7409823.stm
"We have been looking at the possibility of hiring-in, on a short term basis, other trains capable of the required top speed of 125mph, though that is not an easy task."

presume Hertz is out of the question .......

There has also been said to be a problem with an insufficient number of green lights.............

The afternoon Wrexham service was observed to be stationary in New Street last Saturday with the door open and the crew having a good old yak out on the platform. A farce! More punters on board this time, though.

What was the actual reason for the train being in New Street then? as I think you mentioned that this had happened before.

Some are routed that way. Also a lot of slack in the schedule. So much for the alleged congestion at New Streeet........

Back on the investment topic. SG Warrants would like your money.

23 June 08 - Birmingham
Time: 18:00 - 19:30
Location: Aston Business School Conference Centre, Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET

"Some are routed that way.", Wonder if Virgin know that? still they can't actually pick up so not taking customers away.

Certainly interested in that SG Seminar, only a 20 minute walk from New St.
"Location: Aston Business School Conference Centre, Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET"

Don't forget that's also the venue of the Birmingham Beer Festival in September. Can I suggest that we have September's meeting at the same time there. Details of the 3 day Festival are not yet available, I will post when they are.

this is last years .....looks interesting.....

90+ new beers and old favourites from all over UK, Trad cider and perry, Interesting selection of imported bottled beers, Festival Food, Live entertainment from 8pm Thu + Fri eves, Tombola and CAMRA products.

There was still enough beer left for the Saturday night visitors to enjoy a good session.
