It's our meeting this Thursday 16th. Should be there provided my finger sticks itself back together.

Who else can make it?

I should attend this week as well, the Elan is currently decommissioned with a head gasket leaking, so I'll have to take my trusty Japanese toy instead

Me too.

I am remiss in NOT asking you all about the Xmas get together. Can we agree a date/time tonight and book it?

Last time we met, it seemed that a weekend evening might be best, so bear that in mind :)

Cheers

Martin.

:agree:

Especially as Dave has to travel from far West Walesland.

Early thoughts : can't do 3rd and 24th is probably too late, so that leaves 10th and 17th, or Saturdays 2,9,16.

See you later

Actually, my new house is just here, over there.

As I am not in a possition to definitely say that we'll attend, I'll take a step backwards, allow the majority to choose a date, and if we can make it, I'll join the inevitable list, like.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

Thank you John,

It was on my list of things to do, honest!

We have booked 10 places and have got 8 names so far (deposits paid), so who is having our 2 remaining places...?

We need to let them know by the end of the week. If you would all be kind enough to note your menu choice here, I’ll phone it through.

Thanks,

Martin

Does anyone want to claim our 2 free spaces?

Please let me have your orders ASAP as they are chasing me now. If I don’t hear from you, you are going to get something random which I shall pick :D

Unfortunately, a Saturday evening isn't ideal for us - staying over isn't an option as Angie still has to work Sunday mornings on the run up to Christmas.

Have a good meal, and I will return (in the words of Douglas McArthur....stolen by Arnie, in The Terminator) next year.

That's almost a fair enough reason.......but still sending Angie out to work???????? Even Grace is giving up work at Easter :D :D

Merry Xmas to you both hope it's a good one in your new home.

She's only a youngster - still needs to do 18 months of NI contributions to qualify for a full state pension :shock:
