CHRISTMAS MEAL 2012 11th DECEMBER

From the poll people were happy to get the Christmas meal at the 3 Cranes. The idea will be to get the upstairs room - invite WAGS and kids etc, play some party type board games (so the WAGS dont feel left out) and have a hot Christmas Buffet. Anyone got a decent music rig to blast out some xmas tunes?

There were some questions about what food Vegetarians would get etc so I talked to the guy behind the bar... basically they are happy to give us what they want (I couldn't get anything better than that - so need input from you all)... all the Cranes wanted was a week's notice so the price can be decided... Its all very disorganised - a bit like the price list for the beer...

So are people happy to pay around £10-£15 per head for the event? We will need £5 deposit...

But the first thing is to decide a date and book it... so sorry its another poll (vote for all the days you can make - it will be on the most popular)... but comments also welcome

I can make all but the 1st, I think, so I've just voted for my preferences, rather than for the only ones I can make.

If that makes sense? :/

I can make all but the 8th, I've voted for the 1st as a preference but happy to attend any of the other dates.

Someone needs to break the deadlock... And quickly... The cranes needs 1 weeks notice so if you all want the Xmas do a week on Tuesday we need to get moving on this... So cast your votes above.

I originally couldn't do the Saturdays or the 11th but I can now do all the Tuesdays.

Ok looks like Tuesday 11th is the front-runner.

Now I did set this up to be diplomatic and in doing so the popular vote has swung to the only date I can't actually make (my works xmas meal is on the 11th and already organised). As such I'm probably not the best person to organise it (read can't be bothered )... anyone who can make that date want to take over? all thats left is collecting money, getting numbers to the Cranes etc and sorting out the veggies.

I remember Neil said he would ppossibly?!?

Sorry, cocked up, turns out I was right in the first place. It's my boys Christmas concert on the 11th so I can't make that anymore which means it's back to even no's for 4th and 11th. Is there anyone who can't make the 4th instead then the organiser can still go?

There was, to be honest, little enthusiasm at last night's session for an organised Xmas meal. So maybe we should just say the 11th is a "bring your own crackers" board games night ?

Spoke to Anneurin last night and we agreed we would look at organising something in the new year.

We could theme it around trying out all the NEW games we all get for Christmas...
I still think it would be nice to have a family style event... Get the old favorites out like Dixit (I know Jon will look forward to this one) and Carcassonne...

I even have some for the younger ones (Go away Monster! being a particular favorite for Noah!)

A New Year do with new games etc sounds a great idea. What are you getting me ?
