Kolkata 'Gola' Meet - July '07

planet_rocker · 27th June 2007, 19:52

@ sudipto da - lets say about 25 + (just the members - if all of them make it to the meet). something tells me that you and 1100D know each other???

Sudipto-S-Team · 28th June 2007, 14:29

Nope Planet. I don't. Unless he knows me. 25 is a lot of people to meet in a restaurant. I guess the Maidan infront of the Victoria is the most central and ideal for this kind of meetings.

25 people can meet very easily in a restaurant. Many more have met. The problem might be in the sharing of the tab.

What do you mean, meet in the maidan? Like a dharna?

heh heh.

Sam bhai - hehehe!

BTW, when do we get to have you with us in Kolkata?

Maidan idea - noway! very bad idea - i dont like the crowd over there. Sher-e-Punjab seems to be better. we can even do "pet puja" at Tangra. How about Mishra's?

@ Sudipto da - are you sure that Rudra da will be coming to Kol?

Like Sam says, 25 people can be accomodated in a restaurant. We need to find a place that will let us have an entire wing for the afternoon/evening, and wouldn't object to a bit of noise(!!) coming from that side!
Or, we can do a repeat of the Kolaghat drive - this time try out the Uluberia Azad Hind. Nice drive, good food, weather should be decent (and adventurous)

@ i just hope that it rains if we are planning for a drive to Kolaghat Dhaba - only if it rains i will be able to take the Fiat. I havent yet pushed / floored her since i got her the FFE*. Oh boy! sounds great yaar.

Finding a restaurant wont be a problem - and i am sure they will not mind us making a bit of noise.

* not in a good mood - somebody broke one of the rear number plate light cluster.

Planet dont put up pics of what dont work!!

Sudipto-S-Team · 29th June 2007, 10:49

well, in a restaurant the problem is small groups get formed or you sit fixed in one place. ideal would be a club, but the noise factor will be a problem for the inviting member later. ballygunge dhaba has an open air rooftop. but they don't serve you-know-what-i-mean.lily's in china town looks like ideal.

@ Sudipto-S-Team : sudipto da like to thank u once again for helping me out yesterday...and yes Shyamol was the guy who was taking care of my car..I told ur name and yes he certainly gave extra attention..he was all praises of u...

1100D · 29th June 2007, 20:37

If anyone has connections with PWD, DVC etc , there can be a lot of guest houses that can be driven to and their compounds are usually superb meeting places. Just a pointer.

1100D · 30th June 2007, 01:26

I am so happy that I am so far away from all of you as I am posting this link...

Ah ! I'm always there to drive the drunk to their homes

What about Spakz at Alipore. It has at least ample space to park all the member cars. But I am not sure what would be cost. I can check about the same if you can give me tentative date, no. of heads & other related info.

planet_rocker · 2nd July 2007, 13:25

@ tathagatha - if all the members come for the meet then:

1. members - 25
2. Etc / Family - 10

therefore, max 35 people will be there.

ps: i have not considered 1100D, Hells Bells, indrajitr, adc, vinay (GLIX) since they are either inactive or out of Kolkata.

we havent fixed the date as well - but it will be in July
