Next time you'll need to post this invitation earlier, same last time the invitation was 3 weeks before the meeting.

Well its building nicely, perhaps those rumours of a visit from the girlies at Rosie's soapy will encourage a few waverers.

Hi
I would expect Aussie Tony and Peter(Dave the Buffalo's dad) will accompany me (not musically).

Actually Dave#2, you have hit on a good idea there cos I know any chance of Peter to perform and he is usually up for it. I will investigate and have a chat with Norbie too.

Hey! I've just had a brainfart! Why doesn't Peter go professional ... he can go under the stage name Dave the Buffalo's dad, you can be his manager and I can be groupie quality control tester. Norbies can be his World Premiere!

God I surprise myself sometimes

Hi Daves and Honerary Daves
Still trying to track down Norbie. He's in BKK with phone off, sounds like he may have a story to tell

Just a ramdom thought. It might be a good idea if we had a think about the venue for the NEXT meet-up??
I have a few idea's and we can discuss when we meet

Also someone mentioned previously, if our wives/other halves should come along.
Might be good for a 'one-off' at the right type/size venue???

Night time meeting is a great idea!

For my humble opinion I think there's no reason to make BUMS get-together in other province,even though it's not far,not everybody thrilled to make this trip and some will just not put any effort in it just for no reason, people want to meet close to their houses,probably most will be drunk after the meeting,so.. next time ..

will be the best and natural choice.

If it's only few friends meeting that's another story..

Thats a fair comment but remember many expats are spread out across a large area, so moving venues around sometimes has its advantages and disadvantages to some.

I would stay over in a cheapy hotel if needs be, no problem

Binnsy mentioned hiring a charabanc and turning into a sort of beano! ( for non brit's that's a coach to the coast stopping at many hostelries and sampling the liquids and fighting with the locals)

Norby's is a great spot. Wife and i and friends visiting from Oz had lunch there recently. Excellent food, good beer and he sells some good wines at the right price. He also has a range of imported grocery lines.
Bit far from Lam Plai Mat to go drinking but might see if i can convince the missus to have a "romantic" weekend at the Thong Tarin

Couldn't agree more with you re both a night time meeting and staying within Buriram province.

Buriram province is big, stretching more than 100kms north-south. Before setting off to other provinces (after just 1 meeting) surely it would be preferable to meet up in other amphurs (eg Satuk, Ban Kruat, Prakhonchai and Nang Rong)

And lets also remember these are Expats meetings - NO wives or girlfriends please
