I don't know about all of you, but I'm itching for some beer, pool and good company in a nice British pub setting... how about you?

A few weeks ago, I stumbled onto this place with a friend of mine. It was a great time - good food, free pool & darts, and don't forget, thanks to Montgomery County laws, no smoking! (Smokers can still step out onto the sidewalk to get their fix)

When: Sunday, March 26th, starting around 7pm or 7:30pm (i.e. just show up).
Where: Union Jack's British Pub in Bethesda, MD
Bring: Money for food and drinks. Pool & darts are free on Sundays! Parking in the surrounding garages is free on Sundays too.
RSVP: Just reply to this thread if you are coming... no specific number limits. UJ doesn't get very crowded on Sunday evenings so there should be plenty of space.

I will definately be there, but no need for directions, I'll ride with you and you've got Nav!

 

Kinda late for a sunday imho, but I should be there +1 or maybe +3.

 

I don't normally reply if I can't attend, who needs a list of those not coming!

But I wanted to say GREAT idea sounds like a blast! If it weren't Dad's birthday I'd be there. So count me in for the next one!

 

I'll try to be there!

Pool and free pool are too hard to resist

Besides I've never met any of you guys!

 

..a beer or two after the autox day??? .. maybe I can do it. But I don't play pool (don't know how).

Put me down as a maybe.

Hey, if people want to show up earlier, nothing wrong with that. If possible, Sally and I might show up early too... there really doesn't have to be an "official" start time!Aww, too bad Mark - but yes I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.Looking forward to meeting you - just look in some of our galleries for pics, so you have an idea who you are looking for. The MINI of Sterling and British Pantry pics from last Saturday are a good place to start.
I hope you make it, Marina... and we'll be more than happy to teach you the basics in pool. Don't worry, there will be a diverse range of skills there, so you'll have fun regardless. Just watch out for the sleek pool shark wearing black, who is bringing her own cue.

 

HAHA very funny!

 

Edge -
Two words: "Cool Multiquote!"

 

I really want to come, but I have a dinner with the family (parents are up for the week) if I can get away early I will try to stop by. Nothing is better than beer and projectiles.

 

oooh that sounds fun! Did you check and see if they have PIES? If so it becomes a PIErate event!

 

Impressive menu, but unfortunately the only pie I saw is Shepherd's Pie... their focus is more on British food than Aussie / Kiwi food. What's particularly amusing is the naming of their dishes. Mind you, I LOVE shepherd's pie, so I don't see it as a big problem.

I should mention that there will be some additional non-MINI-owning friends of mine coming as well... so go easy on them.

 

I'm not going if krut is going.

-Paul!

 

What!? No key lime? I ain't goin'!!!!

 

I'm not going if Paul's going.... :-)

 

LOL. you guys are so funny!!!!
I love this group!!! So glad I joined DCMM!

 

I'm only going because both of them aren't.

 

oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh a scrag fight..... love seeing those???

 

I'll be coming now as well. Not sure if I will be driving a pumpkin or a all black mcc.

 

Oooh!! Go for the pumpkin!!

(I got the story behind it, if you or anyone else is interested!)

-Paul!

 

Ok bring it on Paul let us know the pumkin story but keep it clean...

 

count Jaysen and Stacey in! Looking for some good ale! Not too good at darts though...See yall there!

 

I'm not good at darts either, but I hear the ale does increase accuracy!
