Off Topic New Forest Xmas Meet 2013

[grimwau]

Just to let you all know that there will be a get together this year.

I have had quite a few messages asking if this was going to happen as I was unable to arrange our normal Summer meet this year. I can confirm that YellowLuigi and I are making plans as we speak (so to speak ) so watch this space for updates.

As soon as we have worked out the basics I'll put a thread up in the events section with all the relevant details. Due to various commitments the choice of dates will probably be Sunday 1st December or Sunday 8th December.

*** PLEASE ADD YOUR PREFERRED DATE TO ATTEND IN THE POLL ABOVE. ***

In the meantime feel free to express an interest here or PM me and I will ensure that everyone will be contacted closer to the time.

For those of you who have previously attended you all know the score but for anyone else there are some links below to previous years and please feel free to ask any questions.

Can't agree more, looking forward to the pre planning drinks, I meant pre planning discussion as soon as Mark is back from Belgium.

Good news. Thanks for the advance warning and to you guys for arranging it
All being well we will be along again .

 

[gmore]

Thank you for organising! We will probably participate this time.

 

[Melanabb]

I should be free on both dates...

Shame, Sunday a bad day for me and my OH, we are not free from Arundel until about 11.30am.

I thought you were retired, what's your excuse, are you an altar boy or something?

You are not far from the mark. In the lead up to Xmas, OH heavily involved with choir practice and rehearsals, which cannot be missed, also I do officiate in a couple of duties which I am scheduled to do over those dates.

OK Chas, you're off the hook.

 

[Heidi]

Can possibly do 8th (son has concerts on the 1st).

Please though no comments about the awful mark on my car bonnet - almost too embarrassed to attend!

Everyone posts/says things that they later forget/regret no need to trawl it up. Put it behind and move on otherwise nothing would be achieved. The last thing we need is for this thread to descend into a he said, she said battle.

I just wasn't to know the final date so I can commit one way or the other

 

[grimwau]

Come on guys, Christmas is supposed to be a time of goodwill to all men (and women). Lets keep personal stuff out of it.

I should have some more details next week. Hang in there.

Finger nails embedded in the window ledge and hanging on, as requested :thumbup:

 

[grimwau]

OK guys, sorry for the delay, still not heard back from Team yellowluigi yet regarding start and finish points, routes or photo opportunity sites yet but it should be soon.

In the meantime I thought I would get the ball rolling by posting a poll at the top of the thread to gauge interest and dates.

You can choose both dates if you are available for both and it is a public poll so you will be able to see who else is attending.

Just in case there is any confusion let me re-iterate, this isn't the official Event page, it is only for registering an interest, I will be adding the event to the proper section soon and will post the link here.

At that stage you will be able to ADD yourself officially.

Huh? I hadn't read this thread until just now as it is not relevant to me - did I miss some hand-bagging?
