Title: UCET Christmas Party 2015
Post by: Vikki Sestan on Oct 28, 2015, 08:23 AM
Hi Everybody.

The Christmas Party is fast approaching so we need to get a wiggle on pretty sharpish.

The Christmas Party will be on Saturday 5th December, at The Springfield Hotel, Holywell (http://www.thespringfieldhotel.com)

The cost will be £19.95 per person (that covers a sit down meal and show/disco at their 60's/70's Xmas party night which is also shared with other groups - venue holds 250 people).

Also this year......we're going fancy dress :) Open theme as always.


I will need to know numbers ASAP to confirm booking so please express your interest either by email or text to:

Vikki (07990693269 / viktoriasestan@hotmail.com)

or on the forum below.

I'll need numbers to confirm booking within the next week as I will pay deposit in a weeks time and the full balance will need to be paid 3 weeks before the party (approx 15th November).


Payment either in person to Myself or Tony - as he's likely to be in the pub more often than me ;)

Or you can send this over via paypal (using my email address above) as soon as possible please.

For those wanting a room at The Springfield Hotel, there is a special rate of £49 per room (2 per room max) bed and breakfast. These will be selling out quickly so get your bookings in fast if you need a room.

Menu's will follow shortly for you to start placing pre-orders.

For newer members partners are welcome - the more the merrier :)

I look forward to seeing you all soon

Hi Ant, they've taken a few days to come back to me and have said there are no 'show only' tickets that night.

I'm my opinion - would they really notice if you just joined a little later after food :) probably not

Thanks to everyone who was involved with organising it and thanks to everyone who was there for a great night.  However I do feel we are maturing with age which defo needs addressing.  No thongs or nakedness???? what's happened to us all?  Went for a mcbreakfast on my way home, then realised I still had make-up and a necklace on - oops. I'd ditched my mum's clothes and the wig though.
