Back to we started, when this event was newly opened... so put this date in your diary with indelible ink.... for a friendly & lively night out!!LOGISTICS:
Venue: One Chamberlain Square, Paradise, Birmingham, B3 3AX
Birmingham - Alberts Schloss
Arrive: 1900-1930pm, allowing 30 minutes leaway.
Parking: Paradise Parking, B3 1DE (best use public transport though)
Dress Code: Smart Casual, no rips, caps or trainers please.
Why: By popular request, we're planning another visit to Albert's Schloss, the Dutch themed entertainments venue with a big stage and plenty to drink and dance to! Usually a mix of DJs and live music.
Seating: Though possible to book for dining, or larger groups, collecting member payments would be time consuming, so the plan is to arrive early to grab table space near where the dance action is.
MeetPoint: First arrivals, please notify others where exactly (which table) you're at, so that others can easily join you
Mingling: If you've not been to an event before, or at least recently, this is an ideal one to meet up with a cross section of our members. New Members Welcome, the more, the merrier!Contact: This is a monthly repeating event, and as such, has no fixed host, but host duties will vary. Volunteers to be host for the night are much appreciated, otherwise it will fall to collective responsibility. Typically we only monitor messages on our online meetup and facebook sites until approx 5pm. So please don't be caught out by this. We hope and trust that everyone has a wonderful evening.
Attendance: As with all events, please RSVP courteously, and please note that no-shows and withdrawals in the last 24 hours are not allowed.31 attendees
