Up the Clarets - ten years event

[ClaretTony]

In 10 months time, Up the Clarets will be ten years old and a potential event has been discussed.

Any thoughts as to the kind of event and what would encourage you to attend?

Cheeses-10 years bl***y hell. Is it that long ago?

[mdd2]

Personally better to have it when the nights are longer, around April 2026 would be my suggestion on timing.

[Stonehouse]

Would everyone wear names badges with their names on or their forum name ? could make an interesting event .

[elwaclaret]

I’d love to attend, it was great in the Clarets Mad days being able to put faces to names. Sadly too many of those faces are no longer with us.

We used to do that at the old CM dinners. We would have Dobbo’s wife wearing a badge with Mrs Dobbo on, Vince Overson’s wife with Mrs Big Vince and, in case anyone didnt know who he was, Jimmy McIlroy had a badge with Jimmy Mac on.

Still call this place CM

[Longsider]

The regular food counters need to be there to count the buffet

[dandeclaret]

I reckon I'd turn up if the Noisy Table was back together....

Bodge and Karen
BfcDaz
Mystify
Den Perry
Bedfords
Lancaster Claret
Martin_Bell
DLTbfc
Dushanbe

and anybody I've missed off who did at least 2 tables worth with us.

Bloody rabble, the lot of you!

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Potential Zoom party to include all the overseas folk?

[edison]

10 years. Dear me

[Buxtonclaret]

Hard to believe it's 10 years ( nearly)since we moved house.

[bodge]

Mindblowing that it's 10 years !

A dinner at the Turf would be good, jdrobbo can be the security to keep the rabble in order.

[lakedistrictclaret]

I’d certainly go to a dinner.

Days?

[Claretmisterg]

i would certainly attend a dinner in January.

I doubt we could afford a dinner at the Turf now.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

A few pints after a home game would be good

[tybfc]

I bet Dobbo and Vince would come to a dinner.

Alison Overson loved it and I bumped into Dobbo at Old Trafford cricket ground a couple of years ago and he was saying how much he enjoyed all things Burnley.

And you buy one you get one free!

[Devils_Advocate]

Sounds like the kind of thing Mr Pace might get involved with. If anyone on here is friends with him on Facebook you should message him about it

If we do have an event CT should get presented with a gold medal.

Have it in Devon then I’d attend …. Well you did ask

I did ask - and I do want ideas for what we could do.

The renovated James Anderson Suite and function room in Burnley Cricket Club is free to hire for all. Suitable for events, family functions, parties, community groups and get-togethers.
Maybe get Jimmy to give a talk,fee=Pie & pea supper

I wouldn't survive it!

[ArmchairDetective]

I wouldn't survive it!

I've always wondered whether some of the posts on here would be said in the same manner if they met that person down the pub. Be brave burnley007

[Stonehouse]

Some may have that many aliases that they won’t be recognisable under all those name badges.

10 years????

Wow - I'd have said 3 at most!! Time flies by so quickly

[jedi_master]

Now that I know at least two of you personally, I would feel less awkward about attending Maybe an evening after a home game on a Saturday (although, that will give precious few options these days!).

[ClaretTony]

I wish it was 3 luppy, I'd be a lot younger than I am.

First match report on here was the 4-1 home win against Derby which I entitled Ram-Shackelled.

[miele-man]

Maybe a home match , the club should provide space and a subsidised bar/food

[Clevedon Claret]

My, how time flies.
I don't post much. But visit several times a day to see what's new.
Brilliant work CT and all involved in running this fantastic forum over this time.

I’m surprised it’s only ten, then again I think I missed the later ones. A divorce, four moves, a Degree and Masters Degree, and a ‘new’ relationship now entering its eleventh year…. Yet it seems like recent history that SatanicMustard ( as was) got stuck in the back of my SAAB when we dropped him off afterwards

The stuck in the car night was about 20 years ago

Joined CM in last week of March 2000 so it is 25 years next week. I'd previously run the CISA website.

Who's the guy with the hair?

[Claret Till I Die]

Who's the guy with the hair?

There's several on there who are more follicly challenged now so you need to narrow it down...

[Stalbansclaret]

I’d think the best thing to do would be to have a meet up in a pub immediately after a Saturday home game . Would need to find a pub that would close for a private function…not sure how easy that would be.
