[John Nicholson]

That IS a very good idea Claire.  AND a very kind invitation.

[quote="Suboffender" post=9786]Are the Glan doing food yet? I seem to remember that there is also accomodtaion above the pub there.

Most of the food was used as missiles across the dining area at the last party. I'd expect that to happen anywhere though. I'm sure Mike started it too  :lol:[/quote]Glan is shut unless you know otherwise treacle and has been for some time!

We have provisionally asked Vikki to organise this years party and she is currently away on holiday. At this moment we have not agreed anything with her and she has not formally committed to doing it ....

When she comes back off holiday I will ask her formally and if she accepts everyone can then dive in with ideas/suggestions etc.

i have had a conversation with vikki before she ran off with a load of BIG greek blokes(sorry deano did'nt know how to break it to you)and it's vikki'gig to sort out the chrimbo do

[Danny Sutton]

Been from Salford, i'm not too bothered about the quality of the food, the beer and somewhere to sleep are right at the top of my list, a McDonalds near by for breakfast would also be a bonus.

[Claire Brimson]

So no takers for a mendip christmas do then......

Claire,

Vikki is organising the Christmas bash and she is on Hols in Greece at the moment - I have no doubt she will take on board everyones suggestions ...

... You might get a tap on the shoulder yet ...

I don't care who sorts it or what it is - i just want it on the 8th, coz i'm offore for all the rest of december! selfish! selfish! selfish!

And if we're quick (coz we're getting booked up fast) we could play the gig.

Crown or Cilcain village hall ain't half a bad idea - halls big enough to extend the invite for the 'after-party' a bit wider afield... just an idea, we'll wait for sticky to recover from her Greek adventure and see what she says. :-)

Was hard enough to get people to commit to the Mendip trip last time, its ended up being 4 of us plus Les! I imagine the turn-out for a Christmas dinner down there wouln't be much better. I'd go for it though    

[John Nicholson]

Bella and I very much want to come to Mendip, but we could not do this in August when we had so many guests.  I certainly hope we will be able to come on the next mendip trip, but please do it in school holliday time.

[Danny Sutton]

The mendip trip was impossable to plan for, the date must of changed 20 times. when stuff is been planned, it just wants posting up with a date, then leave it as it is.

[Tim Watts]

It changed once. Because the trip leaders couldn't make it and the Hut wasn't available.

[Claire Brimson]

Anyways...... Back to roast bird, heated balls, long fat chunky dead mans fingers sizzleing away, juices ripening and thickening up, 3 of your 5 a day coming along in the pot, copious amounts of good red wine on stand by, a drop of an aperative to get the juices flowing, pudd at the ready with good old high cholesterol sweetened on the side, and variety of either solidified or creamy cows pus for afters washed down with a rather large glass of Taylors vintage, and of course not forgetting a wee dram followed by a tipple of brandy to settle that poor stomach!

Try not to think about whether you need elasticated trousers due to an increased BMI, or the cholesterol about to fur your tubes up and give you a rise, but dont cut yourself coz it will take longer to heal due to sticky sugary red stuff trying to get to all areas of you!

Not long till christmas now  :lol:

[Tim Watts]

...that read like a script from a porn film, a medical drama and Nigellas Christmas special all rolled into one! The mind boggles ;-)

[John Nicholson]

Claire is right.... we all do eat too much at Christmas.
Trouble is that I eat too much all the time.
