thought i should just update and say i am very sorry to say that the wed meets finally seem to have died a death mainly i think due to people going on the facebook Goa forums rather than here)... sad after so many happy times but life moves on..we long termers made an effort to be there every week over the years but sometimes people wouldnt turn up despite putting names down or would eat elsewhere and turn up very late, this meant us just hanging about a lot of the time and we too would sometimes have liked to do other things like go to Anjuna to listen to the music etc,of course there were the odd busy nigthst but not often and it therefore started to get tedious and we started to give up trying too keeping it alive.. . so for those of you not on FB there are alternative meets being held in Bending bamboos bar candolim on Mondays from 8pm you can eat or not as you please, this was arranged on the FB group page 'meet and greet in Goa' ..pretty much everyone is welcome and as this is my local i am generally there too i really hope to catch up with some old faces and new ones .. people are wearing a yellow and orange wristband for identification!!. these can be bought in shops or online at ebay i am told ...the meets brought so many of us together over the years and many thanks to you all and HT for that

Such a shame it's finished. Thanks to everyone who made it fun over the years. Also thanks for introducing me to some great friends.
Facebook has been the death of here I think. It's a huge shame but obviously it provides something that a forum can't, or hasn't up till now. I haven't been on here for weeks( no-0ne would have been able to understand any of my posts if I had come on ) But it is a bit of a shock to see so few new threads here and also no new hotel reviews. A few years back you needed someone on reviews for hours every day. Very sad.
Not sure if I will be coming to Goa in April now( but getting a bit more hopeful!) but I will be at Bending Bamboo if we make it.. We went there almost every night at some point anyway!
i will be in Bending Bamboo on 17th March, see you all then!
Hi all, its been a long time but just to say that there are now going to be new meets at the sandpiper in candolim beach road... they are being organised at the moment and i will update as and when about when they will start for anyone who is interested
Great stuff ! Don't know the sandpiper, must be a new place ?
I too don't know the sandpiper, thought I knew all in beach rd.
Down the bottom, by taxi rank, upstairs
above Teamas?
From what I have been told the first meet will be on Thursday 27 November from 7.30 Chilly time also understand Clif is hoping to do his quiz on a Friday evenings at the old carvery
OK thanks. not there for another 8 weeks though
Liz and I will definitely be at the meet ups, not sure about the 27th though as that is the day we arrive. We will probably be at the quiz night on the Friday. Will be out there for 3 months this time.
Top Table is run by Raj who used to be at Cinderella's down the lane from Bobs Inn and the food I have had there in the last month has been very good and inexpensive however the main reason for moving is for more space as there was a very good turn out last week making it difficult to get seats
The meets are a mixer of internet forums like HT as before plus a couple of Goa focused Facebook groups as this gives Chilly back up in looking after the meets as she now has Ron Leek and Mike R to help out
It is still mainly the same faces as before plus some new interesting Goa lovers to chat with and it is a really friendly get together so please come a long on any Thurs evening from 7.30 until early April, you will be made very welcome
Thanks for the update
