Anyone up for a Festive get together?

If we choose a Thursday we know @Oliver Schick is out.

Definitely up for some festive wests. Secret santa? I have plenty of random stuff and I'm sure @jdmitch has some weird and wonderful things he could contribute!

I'm available on any Thursday between now and Xmas so happy to join you. I'll check the parts mountain for Secret Santa offerings but I'm sure everyone has tbeir own guilty secrets they will pass on!!

This sounds good.
Just have to decide upon a date.
13th looked blocked for me, (Parents Evening),
but online booking of appointments means we start at 17.00 and out by 17.45!

Anyone have a December date they can't do?

Oh, and tonight?

Tonight no. We're at a gig in Brixton.

Otherwise free for December meet up any Thursday

gig in Brixton

Invite only medlarfest at home, more likely!

Rumbled

Wests Festive Do?
6th seems too early.
13th I'm neutral
20th appeals at a Solstice level

(Intolerant parent confession.
When mespilus jr. was much smaller & younger,
one year, bored to annoyance at the constant mention of Christmas,
I unilaterally instituted a new House Rule:
'No mention of 'Christmas or any synonym' until the Solstice!';
Penalty; one fewer present.

Couple of tearful conversations after childish enthusiasm boiled over into a
mention of the 'C'-word resulting in stern reduction in number of presents.
Benefit: we spent time understanding the cause/nature of the Solstice and the probable disjoint between pre-Xtian science-based celebrations and
the miscalculation that leaves Xmas 4 days adrift.
Biggest (triumphant) smile: mespilus jr. catching Mrs. mespilus using the 'C'-word.
Disclaimer; no presents were withheld).

Venue: Red Lion reliable pizza and beers and owned by a forumenger
Open to other suggestions.

Work xmas on 13th and maybe 20th
22nd is Sat?

Ninja edit.
Dawkins knows where the 22nd came from.

I'm faster than most ninjas. hiiiiya!
If I'm already pissed up from long lunch on 20th, some pizza and more booze might be just the thing..

Can't do 20th, both others are good for me.

Anybody, other than the above from @hippy, got any objection to the 13th December?

Venue suggestions?
Default; Red Lion Ealing.

Works for me

Can offer small jars of (Ruislip-picked, of course)
Damson Chutney* to attendees.
(Small donation to forum appropriate?)

(*Flavoured with freshly ground Allspice).

Tonight?

Sorry, off up North tonight

On duty at home. Filling my face with home-made mince pies and lamb curry.

In that order?

Watford?

Sorry early start tomorrow, so no show tonight.

This Thursday, the 13th, will be our Xmas event.
Red Lion Ealing, for Fullers beers and Santa Maria pizzas.
19.30 onwards
@hamrack has suggested a bike-related Secret Santa.

So who's coming:

@skydancer @moorhen
@thebrenthamtaffy @ChewyCheeks
@jdmitch @timages @NorthLondonLight

(@skydancer @moorhen I could finally hand over your 'Reverse Quarter To' stickers).

It's in my diary and I'm now looking forward to beer and pizza

See you Thursday.
