Christmas Meet - Ideas/Discussion

[Eddie.]

Okay, so I want to organise a proper Christmas meet for the NW region.

I have an idea or two, but for the most part my plan was to go for a proper, decent meal somewhere?

I'm not on about Michelin stars and £300 per head food, but I'm also not talking about Maccies.

I'm open to ideas and suggestions, from everyone in the area.

I'd also like an indication of when would be suitable for everyone. For it to be a Christmas meal, it needs to at least be in December. I'm not Sainsbury's, my festivities don't start in August.

If we can, lets keep it central? Warrington is a good start point, but Warrington doesn't have any nice food, what with it being a warzone and all that

So yeah, fire away.

 

[Eddie.]

Anyone?

 

[JamesBryan]

We did the Walton Arms a while back...

And if we make it a Saturday the carvery is only £4.95 but £8.95 on a Sunday.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Walton arms is a good place....

Or the ring I bells a bit further up towards daresbury.

 

[Dolan]

Both nice them two

 

[Ash.]

I'd be up for this but please please don't make it a meet in the day can we make it night as I will be busy selling Christmas trees.

What time would you say roughly?

 

[Ash.]

I think i could meet at 7 no earlier but it dose depend on where your thinking of meeting.

Hickorys smoke house?


although parking could get interesting

 

[Paul.M]

I'll be making the trip down for this and I'll try and be on time (for once)

[Knuckles]

Knowsit!

we'd have to reserve the car park though lol!

 

[Eddie.]

Sounds good up to now, I'll start ringing around.

Dates wise, what are we thinking?

The 3 options I feel are suitable are:

• Sat 30th Nov/Sun 1st Dec
• Sat 7th Dec/Sun 8th Dec
• Sat 14th Dec/Sun 15th Dec

Anyone have any preferences?

 

[Eddie.]

Anyway, OT, when suits the people who will actually come out?

 

[Knuckles]

i'll have to check my calender as ive got a works do and im going to the north east in Dec

 

[Paul.M]

My works do is the 6th december so I would prefer nothing early on the 7th but if its going to be evening anyway I'll have perked up nicely by then

[Paul.M]

mine too, sad b*****ds having it so early lol

I used pretty much that exact phrase when they first told me!

 

[welshname]

6th for ours too.

 

[Eddie.]

Okay, so it's looking like either Sunday 8th, or the weekend of the 14th & 15th?

 

[aucky]

Sun 8th is best for me atm.

My works do- 14th, New York on 15th :/

 

[littlemissnaughty]

If it's hickorys you have to book... Always busy that place..

 

[Paul.M]

I can do sunday 8th quite easily

 

[JamesBryan]

Anything but Saturday 7th for me. Seems a few are saying the 8th, which is fine by me.

 

[Joe#]

I still haven't been

The Grosvenor multi storey is only down the road though.

 

[Eddie.]

Okay so the evening of the 8th is looking favorite.

Finally, I'd need some ideas of numbers, I count 10 in here so far, and can think of at least another 4-5 people who would be coming.

If I book it for 20 do we think that will be sufficient? Or are there people wanting to come who haven't spoken up?

If you're interested, please do say so, that way I can get a table/tables booked asap.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Where have you decided on eating

 

[aucky]

You'll struggle to book >20 anywhere I would've thought!

 

[mike1pow]

Ill come if I'm in the country

 

[cliokiwi]

This sounds good to me! 8th also would be best, xmas doo is the 14th.

 

[Gavin.]

Saturday the 8th is good for me!

 

[JamesBryan]

Saturday the 8th is good for me!

8th is a Sunday Gav

 

[Gavin.]

Meh whatever, lol. It's been a tough week.

 

[Eddie.]

I'll be looking at doing it on the Sunday evening, which is the 8th.

 

[Ash.]

What kind of time are you thinking Eddie?

 

[Eddie.]

Evening, I know you said you were working, so what time would be best for you?

7:30ish?

 

[Ash.]

Yer that should be ok Eddie. Anymore thoughts on where?

 

[Jonff]

I'll be there.

 

[Eddie.]
