When were you thinking of a date for this? There is the Christmas mini show at Stoneleigh on Sunday 20th Dec, maybe something on the Sat or is that too close to chrimbo?

i was going to suggest it to be further north sounds quite convenient...for me at least

Fair enough Scott

Alright for some, Dave!

[leaky]

So has anyone picked a time, date and location for this then?

[mymini007]

will do some research today, check the diary and find a good venue. (Newbury area unless there are any strong objections to this) not had any yet.

I thought of lunchtime, as i have to small kids so evenings would be difficult, plus a lunchtime there would be less temptation for drinking.

Did you see my suggestion about tying it in with the christmas mini show at stoneleigh (Coventry area) 20th for Sat the 19th? Yeay? Neigh?

Newbury isn't that central for a lot of us, although it'd make a good south central chrimbo meal.

[Heather&Henrietta]

Right, I have had no more suggestions for locations.

So can i assume, Newbury is the fave choice?

Newbury is fine for me.


Saturday 19th, yes, Sunday 20th, no


I have to work that Sunday *crosses fingers* I hope you decide on Saturday

newburys actualy very un-central! its very far south when it comes to the likes of bec who lives oop norf!

when tmf had an xmas show a couple of years back it was held in leicestershire, but as said as there's a show the next day on the 20th it might be better to have it in coventry or not too far...people can get a B&B and then head for the show bright n early rather than then having to travel for about an hour n 1/2.

Bec, good idea yes

[luvlygal]

you said it!

[mini93]

there was no use lying about it!

[mymini007]

OK

Thats why I was asking for location suggestions,

Yes i did see your suggetion Bec, but I cant do that weekend I was thinking about Saturday the 5th of december.

Maybe we should do regional ones?

I have found a pub near Newbury HERE

They do a christmas menu (will be getting this e-mailed to me this evening) that will requre a ten pound deposit un booking, or if you want the normal menu no deposit will be required.

If you are interested in 5th at The Winterbourne Arms, Put mane below so I can get an idea on numbers.

Hehe I have moved daaaa'n saaarf since then although I still have my slightly funny accent and spend far too much time with my northern friends and family.

If you lovely peeps would like this moving to South Central and made the South Central Christmas Meal please just say

[luvlygal]

I think anyone who wants to come, should. We'll never meet people otherwise!!

We can always go and raid the nearest Travelodge if need be
