I know I am probably pointing out the obvious but days are getting dark early evening, perhaps a bit too much for that particular spot?

martelli

so here is a funny story : after two months and having explored half the island i decided not to do anything today and go down to the meeting. so i walked from surfside almost to exiles looking down. i didn't reach exiles cause i didn't see anyone or any fire sth that would imply that there were people there. so went back to 1st group, asked and the answer was no..

so i decided that i should come back to the flat, send some more application letters and gods willing  i'll attend the winter meetings!!

anyway, are u meeting again next wednesday and where?

ricky

Hi martelli,

we were there on the beach at our usual spot.

We had an England flag flying and two dogs with us this evening!

We were 8 this evening as several preferred to go to the Tribali concert at the Lido instead.. We left at 10 pm and some went to the concert too.

Sorry it didn't work out.
Send me a private message and I will send you my mobile phone number to contact next week! WE are always there.

Cheers
Ricky

Hope links are not against the rules Ricky - it is for a good cause.

It's right about where the i from the word torri is. i marks the spot.

ricky

Hi Peregrinus,

the Exiles link is not against the forum rules but it is not the exact location of out meeting spot.

We meet around the corner , direction Sliema , down the steps next to the Tower. We can see Exiles but we are not exactly there!

Just walk along towards Surfside. I put up a small flag to mark our group ( sometimes only 5 , sometimes 15 )

Cheers
Ricky

Peregrinus

Yeah thats right but open the link and scroll in once and you will see the il-torri description I mentioned. Then the spot is where the i is on most resolutions

ricky

Hi all,

it looks as if it might be very windy this evening for today's regular meeting.

I will be there in any case . If it is bad we will walk along the beach and sit at Surfside restaurant, either in the open or inside.

It is still just too early to move permanently indoors again. The winter is long enough - )))

Cheers
Ricky

This maybe my first chance to meet forum members next wednesday night im coming over for a few days to secure accommodation, hope you wont mind me picking your brains on a few things.

Cliff

ricky

Hi cliff,

no problem , just check the beach first and if nobody is there today take a stroll to Surfside (within viewing distance). We will be there if the weather is windy.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi all,

after a very nice summer of meetings on the beach every Wednesday we are moving back indoors as of this Wednesday (6 th November 2013).

So the regular Wednesday meeting will be back at Bianco's restaurant opposite Spinola Bay at and after 7 pm.

http://www.biancos.info/

We look forward to seeing all regulars and newcomers at the new/old location.

I myself will be away for the first two meetings so Ilona will be looking after the event.

Cheers
Ricky

Hey...Hope everyone had a good start into the new year. Are these meetings still happening? :-) I'd love to join one.

ricky

Thanks for the New Year wishes.

Yes, the meetings are still on every Wednesday at Bianco's restaurant at Spinola Bay at 7 pm and after.

Attendance varies and people come and go so sometime it is a smaller group , sometime quite large. Just go along and join in. We meet in the couch corner in the rear of the restaurant.

I won't be there myself coming Wednesday as I have another event on the same day but there should be others there.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

How long do you want to be there?  :)

ricky

Hi amorina.

well, that changes from week to week. I would say ,on average, until about 10 pm. After that some go on to other places ,pubs or even Paceville (not me -))).

But it could finish earlier so don't come too late.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi. I have just joined here and wondered whether there was a meeting this wednesday (15th January)? I am looking to meet new people and obviously don't want to turn up with nobody there :)

Bazza

Hi Laura,
I can safely say someone will be there!
Look forward to meeting you.

Paul & Deanna

ricky

Hi PoshPB,

some have a bite (food is very good at BIanco's)  and others just have beer or wine or whatever.

People come and go and newbies are always welcome.
