Post by Admin Team on Nov 2, 2012 4:39:04 GMT
Ladies & Gents, The Admin team have set the date, time and location of the Christmas meet for 2012: Date: Saturday 15th December 2012 Time: 13:00 till early evening Location: Penderals Oak (situated midway between Holborn & Chancery Lane) Whilst the Penderals Oak is "family friendly", we do ask that those under 18 years of age carry emergency contact details and inform their folks at home of their whereabouts - even better, bring them along too.

No, but if you want to meet members and put faces to usernames and chat all things tubewise, and hopefully non tube stuff here and there [too much of the same is never a good thing!] then feel free to pop along. I am earlies, so I should be able to get there by about 1500hrs.

Meh, work's bash that Saturday and OH's birthday picnic on Hebden Bridge turning circle that day so I won't be able to make it. Have fun y'all!

Are we planning have some sort trip/event before the food & drink? There is usually something before - after probably wouldn't be wise given the likely ABV figures! Given that the Admin team have now set the date etc, we've kindly dumped the organising of any trip in the laps of your Moderator team. Watch this space and hopefully they'll pull something out of the bag for you all......

Thanks because if it was compulsory, I would go to the Hainault loop right after the meeting but sadly most of it (Hainault loop) is closed. I will not even go to Penderals Oak just to drink ale - I would stay home, looking at new posts in the forum.

I can't make that date either - I'd blocked the second Saturday off in my diary - the 8th - and asked for confirmation exactly a month ago in case it wasn't. After waiting for a reply and then not being able to wait any more I'd agreed something else in for the 15th thinking it probably wouldn't be then.
Oh well, have fun all. :/ :/

I can do the 15th but can't do the 8th, as I'm in Swansea for a christmas do on the earlier weekend.

Oh well, have fun all. :/ :/ That's a great shame (and to the others similarly affected), but if you were guessing, the overriding factor should have been the fact that it's never been earlier than 10th in all our years - and jumped on a week when it could have been the 9th. It was the mods who were investigating choices, but came up with no firm preference by members, so we stuck with (that dreadful word) tradition. Sorry again - December's busy for all it seems these days.

I'm sorry that this sounds snappy Phil and I presume that Mods/Admins have been fairly busy with stuff but of course I was guessing - that's why over a month ago I asked for clarification but there came none. Anyhow, no one's died and I'm sure it'll be as good as usual. What I will say is that several of us don't live that far from London so if anyone wants an additional impromptu drink somewhere between now and the end of the festive period then do post - it'd be fun to say hello.

But if all the forum members are at the meet then there won't be any new posts! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Plus, for most members (myself included) what we say in real actually makes more sense than what we write on here! There is also the matter that people can be quite open when speaking, whereas they might get into trouble for putting things on here.

Pity me, I'll be on nights when your having your fun :-( Suppose some of us need to keep the system going!

For reasons which will be obvious to the regulars, please can you tell us if you are going, and if you might be interested in something LU related in the morning.

Yes and err no! I need to be back in Kent for three o'clock that afternoon, so it will be a quick pint at the pub. Of course I need to be there in the morning.

The friend I was visiting for the weekend on the 15th has subsequently broken his leg. Sitting about in Lincolnshire in the middle of December doing not very much as a result doesn't sound like too much fun so I *may* be able to go to the meet after all.
