[RDXA] ((( Happy Hour Update )))

[Doug Stewart]

All,
If you get 20 people in this group to do anything coordinated or otherwise,  I'll eat my hat... :)
I have no preference and don't recall if it was an "official decision" by the BOD... It sounds good like an acceptable alternative to try, MicGinny's is definitely less than desirable the few times I have made it there..last time downright horrible service.  Nothing etched in stone either way.

What say you all?

How about others commenting before we make a move ?
I think we all put this before the BOD before we went to MicGinny's in the first place.
Let the BOD get comments and the leadership of the club make the decision?
Otherwise we will get 20 people wanting to go to 20 different places.

Hello All,

This past Friday's gathering at MicGinny's was absolutely
disgusting.  Just four of us, and we had to tolerate a very
noisy group of 20-25 in the main area.  The acoustics are
horrible and in order to have simple conversations at our
table, we actually had to shout at each other.  Also, it was
quite chilly in our wing that has windows on 3 sides and
no heat.  It was unanimous to proceed to another potential
pub for the weekly get-together.

I happened to stop at another place earlier in the day.  It's
a tavern where my monthly retirees' luncheon takes place
on the second Thursday.  Good timing...I stopped again on
my way home and chatted with some of the help.  Today, I
had a friendly telephone conversation with the owner.

So, here's the plan:   After 42 Fridays at MicGinny's (plus
one at MacGregor's on Jefferson Road), we will check out
another pub this coming Friday.  It's the Boulevard Grill at
412 Empire Blvd., less than 600 feet west of the NY 590
expressway.  They are on the north side of Empire directly
opposite the Laurelton Fire Dept.  If the parking lot appears
full, there's plenty of room in a plaza just a few feet further
west.   Inside, we will be located towards the back where
there are walls on three sides.  Nice atmosphere and fairly
quiet.  Arrival time 3:30 PM.  Am hoping we can draw at
least a dozen to check out this east side pub before making
a permanent decision.  I recall a half dozen RDXA'ers did
stop there after some event on the east side one night,
about 2 years ago. Not sure when.

Any questions?  I'll be posting the details again for all three
clubs on Thursday morning.  Hopefully we will draw a decent
turn-out so a positive or negative decision can be achieved
upon testing this new venue.

                  Thanks and 73,     Irv ~ AF2K
