XMAS Party? 1st or 8th December???

[Danny Sutton]

I intend a car to be totally out of the question :lol:

as i say, i'm easy, you've got to organise it vikki and i've not been a member of the club for that long, so my views dont count for that much.

but as i say, i feel it only right we support the people and places that accomadate us the other 51 weeks in the year, but as i've never eaten in any of the places listed, i cant really comment (not that i'm that interested in the food anyway.

[quote="JohnNicholson" post=10240]I don't agree with the idea that we should support the place that 'puts up with us'.
That is not an accurate assessment of the state of the market at the moment. ANY pub would put up with us gladly. They are all desperate for trade. People are just not going to pubs theses days. When i go round collecting oil I see just how most places are struggling. Many cut on quality to survive. In my view we should not be sponsoring this degradation of food quality.[/quote]

Wales must be a bit different to manchester, my missis works in a pub, in a month she makes more in tips than i earn, and if people supported their local, they wouldn't have to cut on quality to survive, as they would be busy.

this is going a bit off topic now, and as i've said, i'm easy and have no preference, opinions were asked for and that was mine.

Im up for the springfield
Not up for a DIY bodge job at a disused pub/outbuilding/community hall or any other small dump (including the white horse in cilcain)
I'd rather pay for a decent night where I have to worry about nothing, food cooked and served bar manned and stocked up and a bloody good dance floor to throw some shapes !!
Its christmas !!! Only once a year

Springfield looks good to me, accommodation is a bit pricy but we could ask for a deal and the travel lodge is close too.

As for the quality of food, it is usual crap for mass catered Christmas meal no matter how much you pay - it what we expect  :sick:

Does the Springfield have any decent ales, or is it just fizzy larger and Guinness :blink:

[Danny Sutton]

Are you looking at the same place as me, Springfield is quoting £78 but just £24 at the travel lodge.

[Danny Sutton]

probably not, i'm looking at this place - http://www.superbreak.com/go/IN635/hotels/springfield_health_club-hotel-7218.htm

but i've just realised the price i'm looking at is probably per-person
