    Hibs-list / International Hibs Supporters Club Cup Final Night Oot

    Not that long ago a few of us were reminiscing about the old (pre-message board days although still in existence) yahoogroups hibs-list nights out that used to take place around Christmas time, generally in the back room of Bennets Bar in Tollcross. For anyone needing a reminder (or a fright) check out John Lowe's photos: http://www.jglowe.pwp.blueyonder.co....ts/Bennets.htm

    As far as I recall the last time a similar gathering took place was probably Christmas 1998 and I think it would be a good time to resurrect this event given a good number of out of town Hibbys will be back from the Cup Final.

    EDIT: We're now meeting at 7.30pm next Friday in the Perservere!

    Cheers

    On that basis I'd propose a gathering on the evening of either Wednesday 16 or Thursday 17 May at Bennets. I suspect the latter might be more popular in terms of people's travelling arrangements and when they’re arriving into town but if you could drop me a PM letting me know if you'd be interested and which night you’d prefer we can see what works best for people.

    Cheers

    I would be up for that.

    I didn't realize that those photos were still up there. I had even forgotten that that site existed.

    John

    Think we might be moving this to the Friday and on a more easterly side of town - John, is that still good for you?

    Bugger - I'm going to be in Windermere from the 12th to the morning of the 19th (Here's hoping there's not your usual rail **** ups the morning of the cup final as I've to get from Windermere to Glasgow!)

    Looks like I'll not be able to make the IHSC catchup

    Maybe catchup for a celebratory pint or two the week after Jamesie?

    Fine with me.

    Have you posted this on Hibs-list?

    Also many of the old crowd are on Real Hibs-net.

    Are we just turning up or is there any need to make some calls? I just don't know how many people are expected to turn up.

    Cheers, Max

    Damn, I forgot about that site! I don't even have an account over there. Brian has been immense at including everyone but I don't know if those guys were on the list, or if they even have Overseas fans as part of their makeup. I'll figure that out.

    I have no idea how many yet eithe rMax. I've had about half a dozen definites, but no more than that. I guess we just turn up - it's a reasonably big pub. See you there at 7.30pm next Friday!

    If I wasn't staying the other end of town (west side), I'd probably have had popped in for a few.

    Pity!
