Never too early to get a Christmas Piss up Party organised. People's diaries fill up for December very early, I'm sure we'd be interested in it.

First two weekends taken already ... NJ first weekend, Prague second...

We could take a leaf (a holly one since its Christmas) out of Virgin's book and do something a little different. A Post Christmas V-F party. January can be such a quiet depressing month so having a party to look forward to can brighten it up, also wonder if we could get better attendance.

Foz

And as the Christmas season properly starts with Christmas Day (Advent being a period of preparation and self-denial [:0]), this would be traditional as well as 'different'.

Ok then - probably better for January anyway - realised when Decker posted that I'm actually away from Xmas Eve to the middle of January, so I guess Satdis 15th/22nd/29th Jan look better for me [:)]

I certainly would be up for a post christmas bash to sweep away those blues.

Perhaps we could make it a 'formal' occasion with a presentation for someone who might be able to give tips on how to do a TP run[;)][;)] followed of course by an extensive discussion on the merits[:D]

Come to think of it, why not just party and talk of future VS adventures.

all the best

Buns
P.S. Look forward to buying you that drink on the boat

Buns

The latter of the two options might be better [;)][:D]
Looking forward to the boat do meself [:)]

Well any sort of party/piss up and i'm there and Jan sounds good for me to.

Roll on next week

I think the post Christmas suggestion is excellent. We have so many do's in the run up and then nothing after. Though we are all on the New Year's resolution diets[:(].

I am back from MIA 6th Jan, so any weekend after that should be fine by me.

LOLOL That sounds great!!!


Seriously though, January piss-up sounds like a grand idea! [:)]

Ill be back from Vegas before the end of Dec, so i'll probably have a huge smile and an empty wallet LOL [:D]

Count me in too, but I'm away from 8 to 24 Jan so I might end up missing [:(]

Cheers,

Sahajesh

Of course this is an excellent idea, i'm only suprised my name hasn't been added to the list as a matter of course...[:D][;)]

A tentative yes, but skiing arrangements may get in the way, so no promises [:p] !

Rich.

Hic. Count me in.

I need to do as much in Jan to get me through it. Think the 15th/22nd are fine. Might be in KUL on the 29th. Will know exact dates in a couple of weeks I'm guessing.
