AOSW Xmas event

yeah yeah yeah i know we are only just halfway through the year, but trust me the last one of these we did took 4 months to sort out

last years event was a great time....

The lead up to the event, the menu and the prices

and the pics

i am hoping to book the same hotel as last year, excellent value and the whole evening was very well organised, for me and Mrs W, going all out and getting an Exec room ect we paid £120 for the room and the meal, and that was for both of us.....

firstly i will be looking at dates that are suitable, Friday and Saturdays seem to be the most popular but again i will be putting up other dates as well.......

Again like last year the deposits and payment will be dealt with directly, i am more than happy to organise this but the booking and payments will be between you and the hotel, sorry if that sounds a little off but it is the best way of doing things

Please remember partners are more than welcome to this event, and as Hammy will tell you if you don't have one Mrs W will find you one during the evening

So the first thing....the date.....and of course if you are interested

I don't think Si has been the same since Tracy's matchmaking attempts

[tess]

wayhey....good to see you on AO fella

[AlfaBliss]

Tempted to say the 4th... as it's two days before my thirty third birthday, but am undecided as yet. Although if I go I don't mind leading a convoy from Bristol (Gordano Srv) as I know the way to Barnstaple quite well (there's good surfing territory nearby).

[tess]

c'mon chris you know you want to, i will even book annual leave to go on the 4th .......celebrate your birthday in style....go on, go on, go on..........

Well I've voted the 11th.....but either Saturday would be fine here. Friday is more difficult purely because I always work Saturdays....and I'd need advance notice, as would most, to book it off.
Looking forward to attending though

yay at last.....
