I notice from reading other club forums that some of them have a sort of Christmas lunch. As I only joined the VOC in January, I am not aware wheathe we have done or do the same.

Christmas is a time for stress and spending loads of cash, sometimes we forget about our friends as we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all, so why not take a weekend in say late November to the early part of December, to relax and get together with those people that we only seem to see during the summer months.

I would be happy to organise such an event either on a national or regional basis, but I need feedback from as many people as possible to find out what you all want. Please post your thoughts here as soon as possible and I will ask Adrian to give me contact details for other members of the club that do not have internet access, so that they can become involved and have their say as well.

I look forward to hearing from you with your suggestions.

Ian,
AUTOMAN.

You are the right size for him and I don't think that you would make a convincing elf, so why not. This does however mean that you have to provide all the presents.

Sounds a good idea to me

And no ideas about getting me to dress up either

I'll just be the anti-christmas goth lurking probably

I love people that lurk. I also like moochers etc. The more that want to come, the better the bash will be.

Any suggestions as to where or how to do the event would be appreciated.

I was thinking that maybe over a weekend would be a good idea. Arriving at say a Travel Lodge or such like the one day. Meeting for drinks in the evening to get to know each other and have a chat. Waking the next morning and may be going for a drive or something and then back for lunch, before leaving either that evening or early the next day. If this was the case, this would mean a nice relaxing weekend while all the hustle and bustle goes on else-where in the world.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

If you got enough numbers (doubtful if it is just advertised on the forum), then maybe booking a hotel would work.

There are plenty of big hotels about, that have decent restruatnts.

Though you'll wnat to be startign to book about now really if you want to secure a christmas meal anywhere, as most of the decent places will fill up fast probably.
