I've been back in Vancouver 5 years now after living in the U.K. and one of the rituals I really miss from across the pond is meeting up for drinks on a Friday, to unwind with friends after a long work week. I've noticed that Vancouverites don't seem to do this, so I decided to start up a group in the hopes that other people who feel the same way might like to join me for a bevvie or two. Suggestions for other activities are most welcome, as are suggestions for places to meet.

 I'd like to try many different venues around Vancouver for this group (and keep everybody happy) but as alot of places don't tend to accept reservations on a Friday night, going too far can be risky as far as securing tables. I was working in Yaletown when I started this group but have since moved to my company's Kerrisdale office, so may not be able to get to the venue right at the stated start time.  I'll be there as close to it as I can. If anyone is able to get to venues early, help in aquiring seating would be very much appreciated. If any one would  like the meetup held in a pub near where they live that is outside downtown, they will need to be willing and able to get to the venue early to hold tables for the group in case I don't get there first.

This is a laid back group, but I'd still like to ask that members please honour their "Yes" RSVP after the deadline. It's very difficult to organize large groups when people say they're coming and don't show up or don't RSVP and show up unannounced. Venues that take reservations tend to get very annoyed about this sort of behaviour aswell and may not allow us to make reservations in the future. If you decide at the last minute that you'd like to join us, just let me know in case numbers are tight. Shouldn't be a problem though.

 Looking forward to making some new friends :) Slainte!

P.S. For anyone not familiar with the term, "Craic" (pronounced "Crack") means fun! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...
