Christmas Drinks anyone?
- 3 December 2008 16:5710210
We are running very late on organising anything and indeed were wondering if the demand is there for a Christmas gathering. We always used to do parties of course, parties of all sorts for all seasons, but what with the recession and stuff we are not sure if Forumites wanna do one..
ColetteB and meself have been looking at the calender this morning and there are two good natural dates for a get together. But as we are late many may be already scheduled elsewhere...
Either
Friday the 19th December.
or
Saturday the 20th December.
at The White Horse Inn.
Anyway give me some feedback as to the mood for this and if there is enough enthusiasm we (thats the Royal we, ie its actually ColetteB wot does it!) will organise the usual wine and food.
So let me have some feedback. Many thanks guys and gals.

- 3 December 2008 18:0610219The 19th is ok for us. I may be able to rustle some snacks Filipino spring rolls or Polish stuffed cabbage (Guzzlers favourite) if Jack the landlord is agreeable.But the 20th is out as we are attending a large organised Filipino Christmas Party in Canterbury that night.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 3 December 2008 18:0610220The Hannents can stop by for a drink on the 19th before David takes us away for dinner to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary!
David can do the 20th - but I'll be away in Manchester visiting my sister.
Linda - 3 December 2008 20:1210239both dates are ok for me.
- 4 December 2008 18:2510336Hi Folks, just getting my head around this one, so it looks like Friday the 19th December, 7pm at The White Horse Inn is the date for our Christmas get-together. I can't resist Marek's offer of Filipino Spring Rolls and Stuffed Cabbage Leaves Yummy!
Also David and Linda's Romantic 9th Wedding Anniversary, who could resist that! Its a great opportunity to raise a glass or two to the happy couple.
Met a few Forumites out and about in town today who can also make the 19th.
Scotchie perhaps you can pop in even for a little while on the night for a Yuletide drink.
Just put a posting on here or email me on barco@tiscali.co.uk so I can get an idea of numbers.
Looking forward to sharing some Christmas Cheer with all of you. - 4 December 2008 19:1610350Ah, shame. Have a good one, I am living it up in London at the wife's work do !!Been nice knowing you :)

Roger - 5 December 2008 11:5610403Hi Good to see so far that many of you can make the Christmas Party, remember you can email me as well to let me know if you can make it. Shure, it will be a Great Evening, I wonder if Doverforum Dick will make an appearance. .

5 December 2008 12:3210406can we have a confirmed date for this,as i have to chek my diary. - 5 December 2008 13:2810409Brian, have a look at Colette\'s posting on no 8, it\'s Dec 19th, Hope to see you there.
- 5 December 2008 14:0510418ColetteB I dont think Doverforum Dick will be making an appearance. Since his daughter left town he has hit the skids bigtime and gone to rack and ruination. He sits there all day in his string vest looking at re-runs of \'Im A Celeb\' and drinking low grade supermarket lager...while mumbling things under his breath like
"it was only yesterday she was small\"
and stuff like that. Therapy is called for before its too late!email: dover7@msn.com - Brian Dixon

His avatar is actually his passport photo!!I know a million ways to always pick the wrong thing to say - 6 December 2008 08:1110469Oh Jeanette, that's so fair !!
Phil's a great guy, just has a hang-dog expression that's all.
You're up early today. I liked your article in the Express, good luck with it and all you want to do with the LRCF
