South Beers Christmas Shenanigans... DEC @ The Prince Regent

I love you Chris, but I don't play that game...
If I didn't love you, you'd be DTM!!

Haven't seen you for ages, you gonna be at the westie return to spiritual home on thursday?

You only hate the hate. I know that.

See you at the Mason's.

FYI - It's gotta be the 8th or 15th for me.

I think all the boys should wear bow ties..

that'd be awesome... I would love that ;)

Like this?

Rapha bow ties!

I am going to make a Souths Appearance prior to crashing your fancy do! but only if its smart attire!

2. Clefty (with bells and tinsel on) how about the 15th Dec? Can we have secret santa?
   
3. VeeVee (but might be difficult on 15 Dec - would 22 be ok for people?). Prince Regent my preferred option for a change, they do nice cups of tea.
   
4. Wibble (Count me in if I'm still around London town by the time it happens..)

7. 50/14 as a ped
   
8. Marie (Prince Regent too please, 'tis my local. Either date is fine)
   
9. pajetc. yes that sounds lovely as I hit yet another Christmas too mercurial to have a staff Christmas do.
   
10. Aroogah
    
11. andyp

Should be in for this. The Regent was one of the pubs on the Souths crawl route wasn't it?

Right, I'll leave it until the end of the day, then tally up the votes and go back to the Regent with our demands...

my mate owns the prince regent, he's pretty fucking rich.

Thats nice to know Gabe's. You coming to this then?

I think he was volunteering to arrange a dicount for the booze.

I am in if it is the 15th.

Everybody seems to claim to own the regent. Its like a pick and mix on part shares and sleeping backers.

28 people have voted and the 15th is in the lead by a long way with 19 votes and the 8th is in 2nd with 5 votes.
so right now, the 15th looks like being the date, sorry teenie weenie and the others who wanted the 8th.
so confirm or deny your attendance as soon as....

Gonna be a good one...

Bang!

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

lol

People have been talking of a secret santa, what would people think of collecting cash and give to a "cycling" charity or other instead? To VelocityBoy to support the forum?

OK I have an AWESOME secret santa version. I usually hate pressies but this is really worth doing.

OK so we ALL buy a present, for no-one in particular, for say £10 value max, and bring it well wrapped so you can't guess what it is. After dinner's finished, we all draw numbered slips of paper out of a hat (Rapha, natch). Number one goes first, and picks a gift. That's theirs. Number two picks another gift. BUT If they'd rather have number one's gift, they can swap it. Those swapped gifts get a little dot sticker. This carries on, people unwrapping and then swapping if they want to (the person who has the thing you fancy has no say in this). Each gift can be snatched up to three times, the third sticker means it can't be swapped again, the holder keeps it.

If this sounds complicated, it isn't. And a wicked laugh, don;t know why but it just is fuckin funny, especially if the pressies are really good things. I once got travel twister this way. Which was nice.
