Hi guys, Christmas is approaching and doing another meeting would be a great idea.
What do you think ? It seems there is a great response for it.

I am very glad if we meet again mates....
After last activities success, I will defenitly join. Will try to get the missus in this time as well..............maybe she banns me defenitely from the forum!

hahah kane ..... timla zaqek bir rigali lol... ( btw jkollok xi rigal lapsi boy tijuli ta np :P hihih)
I m in too
The best thing to do, first set a target date as many activities are held during the coming days. For sure some of us will be disappointed as the date might meet with other activity.
Good idea, I'm inclined to say towards the begining of December within the first 7-10 days as then it becomes hectic for everyone, office parties, shopping, family commitments etc.
Any preferences?
jek taghmluh lejn in-north forsi nigi XD
... Indeciz ghadni...
whats it going to be a pizza, eatout, dinner or just drinks?? A members thing or with the better half?? During the week or weekend?? A formal or casual thing. Some of the questions that need to be clarified.
Oh by the way if nothing crops up I am in.
Me too! i missed all the bbq's done in summer
im in also but depends on the date because of work
ejja skip we need to reunite!
last time it was great!
i will be there for sure
If I am not working I'm in too
Spitec,
we'll do it on a Friday so be sure that we all at TSS will be all off :)
We should meet up for a drink .... (many drinks i meant to say ;D) instead of eating. Somewhere with appitizers, maybe a big screen ..... somewhere like Corner Pocket maybe in Qawra. Just my 2 cents ..... (euro cents ;D)
i think drinks at corner pocket is a very good idea :P:P
We can even sort some billiards while we are there ;D ....... Plenty of Beer + Billiards are a good combination ;)
@fishfinder Maybe I will try to give everybody Mondays off aswell or everybody will have as much time off as he wants just some time during the week to go to register! ;)
SOUNDS GREAT . ANY LUCK WITH KLAMARi BUDDHAGHRASS. I SAW YOU LAST SUNDAY I THINK . at bugibba
Buddhagrass,unluckily there's only one billiards' table left there...last time i went was two weeks ago and seems there was a referbishment...
the venue is still great for the beer ;) :)
I'm not familiar with the place 'Corner Pocket' but probably I reckon this time round better we just do drinks and some appetizers. Depending on numbers I might be able to organise some offers, special prices on drinks/appetizers, by the sounds of it we need a good price on beer. Will revert back with more info.

oh really ...... havent been there in like 2 months so I think i missed the action going over there. But i still like the place ..... do you think we'll be able to go there although referbishment is going on ? ........ or else we could go to Il-Veccja. He has nice platters, nice view, maybe a live band and a good selection of wine/beer.
refurbishment was completed,,,celebrated my bday with about 20 of my friends last week and was good fun...but i'm afraid there was a big shortage of apetizers, but i guess if we advice them we're going and tell them we are thirsty i guess they will prepare us something ;)

that is cool man ..... i love that place. Anyway, it is not me who decide but keep Corner Pocket and Il-Veccja in mind. Veccja is also wicked ...... and a wide variety of amazing platters. We could even go to The Fortress Wine Bar in Xemxija ..... again very good platters and Wine duh :-). Honestly I must say that during this time of the year, Xmas/NYear period, I'de love to join up for drinks instead of food. I'm sure we'll have a good laugh getting pissed and saying dirty Santa Claus jokes ;D
Not that its any problem to me, But maby we can do this as a boys only thing :P Its up to you guys..But the last time we met up I also heard some people saying that the next one should be amongst us guys.
I totally agree with you Lapsiboy ..... my vote for boys only ...... ;D
Im in guys but it doesn't make a difference for me with girls or boys only!!
I agree with you all for boys only.
Hekk sewwa he..........
Mela intom hekk jew??
Toganizzaw xi haga minghajr ma tinfurmaw l-official organiser tal-forum jew.!!Isa hej :P
Listen all guys. I had the opportunity to meet up with some of the members during the meal last wednesday where it has been decided that, due to the fact that its festivities period, this activity will again be open to both members and non members, (I mean including girls), if not, many would not attend. Do not worry, time will come when next time, it will be just for members. (hope that not all wifes end up as members so that they can join in ??? ;D)
Agreed also that it would be an appetisers and drinks outing, so that everyone drinks as much as he likes. I also think that festivities is not the best time that one goes out for lunch (thrust me).
All the ideas are good, but we must find a place able to accomadate us all, (veccia maybe too small), and not a quiet place (like fortress), and a place which can offer us appetizers. Maybe this time we can make it more towards the south, so to the fair with those living in this area.
Any comments would be appreciated guys, and any ideas also...
I will be for a 2 week holiday now, so I will read posts when I come back. Maybe you gazzetta whom started it, can speak to Nick also, and take this organization in your hands guys..I will help when I come back..
Jaqaw ma thallikx tohrog wahdek baghira ;) :D :) ;D

Hi guys just to shortly answer your questions. Rest assured that for me it makes no difference, and I was the first one to tell the others that I would also like a gents night out, but they said to me better next time and not for the festivities.
So If you still beleive that my lady is the problem, you are all welcome to challenge me ;) Those who know me, know what I am saying.
You should understand that the forum is run by someone (the administrator), and other moderators, and they are the ones that I asked about this issue. These persons take the hassle, and for respect, I would not love to leave them out of this activity. As you can read throu the pages there were also many others who expressed their opinion, and whom would not come without their lady.
As regards the location, I just did not want to be egoistic, If you choose for the north, its better for me guys.
But if you still insist to organise it between you guys, go ahead, I would not interfere for sure. But there has to be someone responsible to take decisions. (I will organise a gents night out in the future 100%)
Baghira ..... ;D ..... I totally understand your situation here. Honestly I prefered to be gents only cause it will be a different experience :) (you know what I mean) but ........ I am not the organiser here and make no decisions whatsoever. So ........ whatever you guys decide please let me know. I am in for sure ok. With or without the girls. This time I'll bring over my camera and we can have some nice group photos ;). Catch ya all later.
we must vote !!!
Guys this re unien was meant to be even for presentation for the annual competitions heald every year. http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php?topic=1105.0
For me doesn t metter what and where will gone a be but if it was summer would be nice to be only boys for a one but in christmas, we all join up so I look at it as must be the most one inportant event of this forum. On wednesday we meet and we really had fun even with some chat and there was 3 women with us and I belive that If we had said no women the three of them would not came for sure. Even Simon G from firsts meeting his gfriend was always present se we must have even respect for her.
Guys if you need to go out after, we can arrange and but I feel that this one must be all together
Spread that Xmas spirit Edward..........and another thing I got fed up seeing those UGLY faces all the time..:)PP
and for those who dont believe me follow this link and tell me if I am not right
http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=1995
scary maaaaaaaaaaaaaa...................
I think as Emicmalta said we must have it open for the partners this time. Its nice being all guys other times, but holiday spirit is different. It would be nice to see more of the partners about. They support us through out the year so let's have one in their honour...........maybe it will be our last one!!
Ohhhhhh finally some who understood.
I did not want to sound like (the asshole of the situation) in my posts, but I just wanted to point out that the most members would not join in without their lady, (as you can read in the beginning of this thread), and this is not nice during festivities. Would you leave out skip or simonG???? Bear in mind that the forum is managed by this guy, which involves a lot of time and money, whilst for us is free, (or just a small contribution).
I am sorry guys, but I will organise a gents night out.
Hope that you still decide to come and join in for this event.
For now its in your hands guys. I will be leaving soon, so take care of this organization.
Count me in. It does not make any difference if its with partners or not, but as emicmalta and ramio pointed out I think that partners should be considered to join this time especially since its during the festive season.
Any date?
Guys and maybe girls (not sure if we have any female members), as things progress and the forum grows and we start doing more events/competitions we will definately need to create more structure. So far most things have been done on the fly so to speak, and for a Xmas get together I think it would be nice given the time of year to keep it mixed. However by mixed I mean forum members and their wives/partners/gf's rather than open to non members.
What is clear is that we need to organise a 'guys only' and by that we mean fishing only event where not only can we talk fishing all night but we don't need to worry if we've left our partner on their own for a while. I think it would be very beneficial to the forum and it's members to hold such an event early next year sometime mid-end January to discuss the 2009 season in general. If we can start to pencil in dates/themes for competitions and get togethers we can structure the year in a more efficient manner.
There are two ways of organising such an event calendar, either it's decided by a committee which for us would consist of the moderators and a few select members, or it's done in a more open manner where we listen to the opinion and idea's of all those present. I feel we cannot ignore the many active forum contributors who may have idea's they would like to express and doing those in person is usually alot more effective.
Emic you asked about dates for this Xmas meet, I was thinking somewhere between the 8th and 14th of December. Venue still to be decided but perhaps doing it somewhere central will be more appealing to those furhter afar.
The forum is getting bigger, and as you said Skip organising the activities would be a good idea. What I suggest is we open a topic and let all members suggest activities and dates, then the committe meets and coordinates all in a professional way.
Regarding the xmas activity, I agree that it should me open to members and their partners only.
I fully agree with your thoughts Skip. We certainly need some structure to cater for the large number of members and also when it comes to organising activities/events. Ramio's suggestion for a dedicated topic in this area sounds great. That way, we can listen to what our members have to say, and that will enable us strike the right balance in terms of events/activities. You mentioned the 8 to 14 December as slot dates for a Xmas meeting, the only good dates for me are the 10 and 11 December.
Guys,time is running out if you want to organise something for xmas.Don't forget all the staff parties now and family functions.I think you should set a place and date asap.
I would be happy to do it mid-week rather than a weekend, given the time of year.
Date: Wednesday 10th December 8pm
Venue: tbc
Let me know.
As usual since it is not during the weekend since I work on 3 shift on thet day I will be on night shift so I cannot make it :-X >:( :-X
sorry to say but on the 10th I am night shift and I cannot attend!!!!
for me 9/10/11/13/14 are good if on the 12 i try to take leave
I would prefer some day near the weekend, so that I can enjoy my drink in peace, and also does my she. But as you agree guys, just let me know.
I have contacted a person, owner of Central Park, near Santana Hotel in Bugibba. He will be able to organise appetisers for us, if we will be a good group. Drinks are genuine guys. The owner's name is Ronnie, if someone would like to speak to him personally, just tell him that silvio already told you something. I try for the best of the forum members, you know I always found a good bargain.
the date for me is ok. but i would prefer if it was in the week end since i am at uni and the following day i will have lectures from 8am and i think there are others like me. however i will make it the same
The best would be weekend for me..
We can move it to the 12th or 13th if everyone prefers, my only reasoning for the week was to avoid tying up the weekend for people. Maybe still the 12th would be better so as not to tie up Saturday evening.
Once again give us a quick idea if the 12th makes more sense for people?
Till now it seems that the 12th is ok for me and my girl.
Count me in too guys the 12th is good for me.
I am in for the 12th
count me in for the 12th too 8)
8)
Goodbye guys.
Cu in a week and a half.
12th Sounds good
Fej sejjer baghira :P
baghira is off to egypt diving
Makes sense Skip since being with partners it's like a normal night out but surely more fun for us guys talking about our hobbies.I will join for sure on the 12th.
I will join too 12th is good for me!
For me must be ok, but have to give my confermation later on due thagt 10 days in tunes spearfishing
whatever date 4 me guys... i will make it this time ;)
12th is ok for me.........have to keep back from the booze since i'm duty next day.....uffffffffff.
Count me in also for the 12th.

Are we going with the ladies or men only?
Its been decided with ladies camkev. i agree with this decision!!
however how many females are there going to be?? cause i dn't want to get my gf and there are only 3 females cause she won't feel comfortable i guess haha
I imagine when you see x2 on the list it means Male+female
We're still determining the venue as we are trying to make some arrangements for special prices on drinks and nibbles or something inclusive. As you can imagine it's a busy time of year for places so they tend to be less accomodating.
Hoping we will be able to announce the venue in the next week or so.
I suppose there are a lot more members who will be joined by their partner who havn't the "X2" beside their name. Lets update so as not to discourage others from bringing their partners. I think they deserve this after all they go through due to our hobby, unless............ like mine, she thanks god I go fishing and get out of her way, but then she worries if I don't contact her!!!!!
Yes please,Like ramio said there are guys who are getting there ladies and are not marked as X 2.Please update so everyone will know what is happening. ;D

Guys I need to post about the venue. I had been considering The Black Pearl (Msida) but the amount of money he wanted to charge was very high, plus on a Friday night it's like a disco night for the public as well.
I need to speak with Baghira about the place he suggested but also to get an idea, what do you think about Punch and Judy again in Rabat as a venue?
Currently am thinking along the lines of a good rates on the drinks and some nibbles.......
its not easy if its just drinks skip. If we were eating it will be a different story but just drinks... Who is going to close his place for a private function on a Friday night its a long shot..dont want to sound pessimistic but thats life.
True Tony, thing with Black Pearl which would have been fun as a place, was the drinks were expensive. Dont expect the place exclusive but at the same time we need to be somewhere where we can chat without screaming!
Skip, my father told me that there is a really good place in Bugibba called Zeta. He provides a lot of appitizers and really cheap prices on drinks. He has indoors and outdoors too. If you guys agree I can drop by tonight, speak to the guy and will check if can he offer us some kind of package. Just let me know ;)
Hey Skip, why don't we make it again at Punch and Judy as you said, and have it eating as well. Who wants just drinks can come as well, we can all order individual. I imagine he serves a varied menu.
If its easier for him, we ask him to set up a variety and we pre-order.
What do you others think??
I think punch & judy would be good...its nice and cozy and also theres the smoking area etc...and not that expensive at all....
Hi guys I am back here.
I am in for this one. As regards the place I don't want to involve myself this time.
Wherever you do it I will come, but if you need some help or advice as regards the two venues that I mentioned, just let me know. Pls note that the later you decide, the more will be the probability not to find place. It may also be that punch can be busy on the 12.
Hello Guys .. just to let you know that tonight I am going to meet the owner of a place called Zeta in Bugibba. He has a great place and he is even non-stop appitizers provider, which is something really positivie for us :-). I'll speak to him tonight as regards what kind of special prices on drinks he may offer us. I'll let you know with any updates later on 2 nite after I meet him. The honest truth is that I had to go and meet him yesterday but ended up fixing up some pcs up until late.
So guys, Budda is checking about Zeta in Bugibba.
In the meantime I've spoken with Patrick of Punch and Judy and the only day he has available that weekend is the 14th December (Sunday). So if we wanted to do it at Punch and Judy it would need to be the 14th.
Some of you have said that you cannot make it on the 12th, but also 27 people have confirmed for that date, so I don't really want to change dates unless everybody who confirmed is in agreement.
We'll see what Buddhagrass comes back with this evening, but either way let me all know your thoughts.
Guys, lets wait regards budagrass answer, and if he does nt manage to arrange I can speake with the owner of Rita Restorant at Lapsi. Over there its not small, big parking, nothing special but think its enough even we can talk easy, they can manage to cook for who ever wants, and will ask for the drinks price. Normally there they have reasinable prices.
Pls let me know as we need to ask her to book over there in advance due to the number.
Personally for me and even I talked with some guys from the forum they do not come at Punch and Judy due to its undernet like a Kantina and fell closed down there. For me does n t matter where you make it and do not want to impose any bars or rest but wished to make it out this point.
if u change the date please tell me. MAybe I can come
For me both the 12th and the 14th are ok. The 13th I already fully booked all day. I think we sould confirm the other two places and then decide very fast.
I think if it can be on friday will be a bit better due to a lot of the memebers on Monday work so they cannot stay with us on sunday
So guys .... I just came from Zeta and he offered me a nice package. Here is what he said. He will obviously section the inside on the bar for us with tables and stools. He will also do us for FREE the following appetizers :
* Bread
* Maltese Platter
* Spring Rolls
* Wontons
* Timpana
* Chips
* Fried Ravjul
* Sausages
* Chicken Fried
* Pork (Oven)
* Chicken (Oven)
* Onion Rings
+ many more
all of these will serve for 30 people. Then I asked him if someone wants to buy food would it be ok and he replied " Emmini my friend, mhux ser ikollok bzonn tiekol iktar ;D ". He even said that if we would like to get more appetizers, let's say some more chips or some more chicken, he would get us more. Then it all depends on how much we drink ;D. I also asked him if he would fix us some special prices on drinks and he told me that he is very tight on prices as he already got cheap drinks. For example most of the Shots are 1.80euro each, Foreign Beer 1.80euro each, Local Beer 1.50euro each and for example a bottle of Vodka will only cost us 30euros and he gives us also a free big bottle of lemonade. Guys I saw his diary and Zeta is being booked like crazy at the moment. Till tonight 12th Dec is free but who knows what might happen later on tonight or tomorrow. He wrote me down as to confirm on his diary. It's up to you guys ..... please decide and let me know. We can't take long to decide as time is passing by, and by the looks of it people are showing a lot of interest in this place. One thing he told me is that I need to advise him how many kids are coming too ;) if we decide to book @ Zeta.

Thanks rammx. I did my best. I think it's a good deal for us all but .... it doesn't depend only on me. The thing is that we can't take it easy because if it gets booked (and beleive me it will be very soon) we're Fu@#ed for ZETA :)
i'm not in a position to decide, but my opinion is that we give you a definite reply by tomorrow...:)
ZZZETTTAAAA :)....still with that grin lol
its ok for me. i guess we have to decide immediately or els we'll end up homeless with nowhere to meet haha
Guys I'm off to watch my first BluRay boxset (BBC Planet Earth) on my PS3 :). I'll have a look tomorrow morning at this topic to see if anything has been decided. Skip ..... you know my mobile number. All it takes is an sms and i'll proceed with the booking. Good night my fellow fishing friends ;)
Ok for me as well. ;)

Not a bad idea at all. We'll go for some squid fishing before aswell ;)
Reuben, the decision is unanimous! Let's go for it and get it all booked up.
So far we're just under 30.

Skip, do you know how many children will be involved as I need to advise him before. As soon as I'll know the number I'll go on and give him a call to book.
So guys, what I am going to do is to give him a call this morning to book for approx 30 ppl. Then all I need to know is the exact number of people attending including the amount of griewi too ;D. Let us have a night to remember ;)
for me it s ok too.
Gaffer, bugarass came with this idea. I just said that will be better if can be on Friday and its like this
You're right Ruben. Sorry for the mixup. I posted that comment early this morning (1.00am) after a 6hr flight!

Ok Guys .... ZETA is booked for the 12th December for approx 30 ppl. I guess 8.30pm would be fine. All I need is to advise him regarding how many kids we'll have with us. If the amount exceeds 30 ppl I also need to advise him so we wont be short on food.
:D :D 10x my friend :)

I will have my kid with me for sure mate.
Please add your kids to this list for anyone who is coming and bringing them along. Please let us do it by tomorrow evening so I can let him know the exact number.

Ok guys.
I do not know the place, but for sure what is important is the company. We will all have fun for sure as usuall.
I wanted to make a small point besides all this, just to put you in the picture. At punch we paid 20 euro, so same if at zeta you have 11 drinks, but with same price, you got 3 course meal, and open bar. This is to point out how worth it was.
This has nothing to do with your budda, but I needed to clarify this for some of the members. As for you, you did a good job buddhagrass. CYA der

Back from the reunion/party and it was really great !!
A great thanks to the organiser reuben and all those who came and made it possible !!
I would also like to thank Shanook for his gift, really a wonderful present !!

10x for a very well organised night Buddhagrass...
it was nice meeting some of the members personaly :)
+shanook you made my gf jealous as i never reacted that well for one of her presents..(ara joking li ma tmurx taqrahha) :) 10x alot mate...
...looking forward for next event
::)
Thanks to Reuben, we enjoyed another great night. Thanks to Tony(shanook) for the present. Well appreciated. It was great meeting up again, good food, genuine drinks, great company. Perfect.
Thanks for everyone who made it yesterday. It was really a great night. As rammx said we all had a couple of extra drinks for those who couldn't make it :). Would like also to thank Shanook for his little gift. I really like it ..... really really like it ;D. I'm sure we'll be able to organize something around January to welcome 2009 ;D.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it but something croped up the last minute!! I'm sure everyone had a great time! ;)
Well done buddhagrass it was a great night. Everything well organised.
A big Thanks to Tony aswell for the sweet gift.
We had a couple of drinks and it was surely fun. Hoping to meet again in another event ;)
Well done buddha, there certainly was plenty of free food running around. Was great to meet up with everyone and have a chat, even though I didnt manage to make it around to chatting with everyone before i started to lose my voice after midnight!
The keychains were excellent Tony and a really nice touch, well done :)
Buddhagrass i would rly like to thank you for yesterday!! It was rly great!! And i enjoyed meeting all of you
and thank you tony for that gift, its already a key chain with my keys ;D
Hope we'll have another meeting not far away in the future.
Dont lose it as a replacement will cost u 1 euro for the Forum LOL.
Stop thanking me u are making me blush....as if.... but really guys it was just a thing from the forum to all of u who make it such a great place to spend some time and share experiences.
The evening was fantastic, the drinks cold, the food was plentiful and the company was simply GREAT. Had a good time, thanks for all those who were there and the organizers, Skip and Buddhagrass.
Well done, looking forward for next meeting. Sorry didnt get the video with me so no posts, didnt see anyone taking pics either so all those who didnt make it u have to use ur imagination....LOL.
It was great meeting you mates it was difficult to speak to everyone since I saw many new faces.It is always great speaking about our hobby.Thank you very much Tony for the christmas present ;)
Nice meeting as usuall guys. Its nice to attent to such events. Thanks for the gift, and sorry to those I had not the opportunity to meet, but the only place where we could have a chat was below 10 degrees..........so......
Glad all of you had a wonderfull time. Thanks again to all who organised and attended. Thanks as well to Tony, as although I couldn't attend, I got the gift as well. Felt really bad not attending, but still have stomach problems.
Looking forward to the next one.
it was nice to meet you guys and talking with some of you. nice work buddhagrass
u l bigboy... lol
ermmm jien fix nidhol ? :P
Sry didn't make it guys - I left my friends in Valletta around 11 to come and have a drink over there...but while I was on my way there a guy decided to ram his car into mine >:( Skip, if you happen to be near the "Scots' roundabout" in Mosta/Naxxar, you might see pieces of glass near the traffic island!
Illami you got hit on that dreaded roundabout, at least one every couple of weekends gets it. I now always tend to flash my lights or honk the horn as I go across the roundabout and people coming up from Mosta just go straight out. Hope you didnt get hurt or bruised at all.
I'm sorry to hear that Robert. Hope your doing fine and well and unhurt. Don't worry, we'll meet some other time for sure. If you want I am organizing a Land Squid Fishing night ....... hope you can make it. Most of our friends who attended the Xmas Drinks @ Zeta are coming over too.
Nick, the thing is...I did flash my lights! At least I'm ok...just a bruised knee...but all's well - in fact, I was diving yesterday (my poor gf pitied me and offered to take me for a dive with her car :))
Buddha: will try to come over to the event - I always wanted to know how squid fishing is done - never tried it but always wanted to.
Nice meeting you guys and having a few beers ;D
also thanks to shanook for the keychain good job mate :)
Well done guys.It was nice meeting you again ;)
Well done :)... Was great getting to know you ppl in person...
prosit guys really had fun!!
