Title: OAS Christmas Drink
Post by: Mike on Dec 11, 2003, 15:47:00
Right.... Who fancies coming out on Friday 19th around 0730 at a pub (to be decided by the masses) for a Christmas Drink? If anyone is up for it please post a reply and we can make some definite plans.

I would love to, but I'm picking up the kids that night :sad: But I'll see what I can do.

I know that Christmas is a time for celebrating & of course drinking but 0730 is a little too earlier....:smile:

Cheers, John.

0730 is just a guide time, you can make it as late as you like. Personally i'm happy to go with the consensus. If everyone decides on a venue and time then whatever that decision is will be fine with me.

Cudham's blacksmith arms has plenty of space.  It's rather a trek though.
Perhaps the crown on Bromley common opposite the college?

seeing as I'm going to miss the meeting on the 18th, I'm up for it. Like Rick, I think that 0730 is a little early, how does 1930 sound to everyone?

Did I say anything about 07:30? :wink: Seems like a fine time to meet after a freezing all-night observing session. :wink: Dunno whether we'd find any pubs open then, though. :wink:

Hi Ian,

19:30 sounds a lot more reasonable to me...:smile: I hope I can make it but my wife is actually booked into the Princess Royal Hospital (Farnborough)to give birth on that day. I know I have to get my priorities right but I somehow don't think I would be forgiven if I wasn't there:-)

Cheers,  John.

Due to the fact I finished work at 4.30am this morning, having started at 8am yesterday, I will have to pass up on the drink. It is unseemly to snore face down in the bowl of peanuts.

See you Tuesday?

Just sleep on one of the tables and we'll drip feed you some alcohol.
