It was because the point was made that although it would be great to make the club money... we were losing it. so the idea to go t'pub regularly is a way of establishing a group who would all be willing to go out and to finally rid the club of the different discipline boundaries as the only real way to overcome it and get to know each other is to get together and this isn't always most productive when going to Roar, so variety should be key. That way there wouldn't be any fear about buying tickets etc and losing money as we'd have the right amount of people for tickets or at least a some-where region. To me, a social is anything that involves getting together and having a laugh whatever it may be and as such ideas like the pub do constitute it, although its completely clear what you mean by it which I am more than up for...(i.e. ROAR) as i think others are... just dont want financial concerns to override the possibilty of socials... personally i love roar with cycling but we need to get more people out (see it as a form of investment)... and so maybe should work on this first as a form of foundation...
Other ideas for socials may include stuff like: a 3 legged night pub crawl/tour to help people get to know each other... a plain t-shirt social which would require no effort and allow for maximum banter... could try a different activity like bowling and mix the disciplines up or maybe a spot of pub golf... maybe the odd indian/chinese (mix em up a bit)... could all meet somewhere in the peaks and have a bbq... or make a club outing/trip to a multi-discipline bike show (although i must admit atm i can't think of one but anyway some form of trip...) a night out down west or division street to mix it up... which ends at ROAR could arrive at roar if thats the wish aftter touring a different area of its pubs before hand... anyway there's a whole multitude of possibilities... now we just need to put em into action cheers
