Following on for the discussions and ideas for the PCP and other socials in 2011, we have had a mods meeting today and discussed a number of ideas for our 2011 socials.
The details have yet to be ironed out, but this post is intended to give advance notification of dates, so that interested parties can put them in their diaries; and members can comment on the proposals.
We want to follow up on the success Brussels trip of 2010 and take up the suggestion of a day trip to Eurodisney - however, given the cold weather in the early part of the year, we have decided to try and schedule this for later on, when the temperatures have increased - maybe May / June time. In order to use the discount code Eurostar gave us after the delays this year, we have to book travel within 12 months of the last trip.
Suitable dates will be researched with Eurostar and further details will be posted soon.
The Post Christmas Party (PCP) 2011 will hopefully be held in London during the weekend 29th / 30th January 2011. It is hoped to book a set lunch at the newly renovated Savoy Hotel. followed by an evening social gathering in a second Central London venue. This will give people who don't fancy making a full day of it the chance to choose one of the events to attend.
Later in the year we hope to host another trip to the Edinburgh Fringe - this will take place during the first weekend of the festival - Saturday 6th / Sunday 7th August 2011. Further details to follow.
Later the same month, we hope that as many V-Flyers as possible will get together for a picnic and a visit to Wings and Wheels 2011 which takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend. This is a family friendly event, and should be a great day out.
In addition to the above, proposals for Oktoberfest and any other event that V-Flyer members want to invite other members to participate in are encouraged, and can be posted here by anyone who wants to organise them.
More details will follow as the events come together, but for now, please make a note of the dates, and indicate if you would want to join in.
The mods.
