Christmas Do (Thread One) 2006

Tealeaf · 16-10-2006, 13:17

Yeah, I know.....its too early to start this (especially as the November meet as not yet been put on). However, in the possible/probable absence of our usual venue, as anyone got any ideas - especially if we may have to book ahead.

1) Christmas day is on a monday, so what is likely to be the optimum night/afternoon, i.e. when the most people can turn up?

2) Location - ?????????

3) Facilities - My ideal place is a good selection of real ale and no juke box or karioke, although live music would be fine... No screaming,puking kids, though.

I suppose we can come up some ideas and then maybe start a voting thread.

PS...and yeah, I know, I'm down here most of the time so can't do any legwork in sorting stuff out up there, so apologies.

It's karaoke, I'd love to see/hear you on it.

I will be visiting Pendy and David in Ossy during that week. Almost any time should work. I'll vote for real ale or decent cider!

Tealeaf,any chance of us all coming down there?We could show all those cockney rebels how to be civilised whilst having a good drink

I think that saturday could be a good afternoon/evening, but that's because it's my day off and I'll be able to come..

As yet nothing is booked. Due to the fact that the pub will be very busy (new pub + xmas), i have reserved the function room for the meeting. There won't be a charge for this, because it's up to me to take the booking for the night. lol

Katex will be better than my girlfriend. My girlfriend is the only person i know who can burn water. When she makes gravy, she asks how many slices you want. Thank god we're going to employ somebody. lol

Sounds alot like me, i keep burning boiled eggs, its awful cos they explode all over the kitchen and it stinks!

Xmas do at the Oak would be brill cos i could be carried home! Or rolled home, be pushed,pointed in right direction and shoved?
