Any suggestions for a date?

Bloomin eck Neil, you're even in advance of Theresa!

It's likely to be the 9th or 16th - the latter sounds rather late, so maybe the 9th if that's ok by Rob. I can ask him but at this early stage he'll probably turn round and tell me to take a jump

Bloody hell Neil you'rte keen for a date already, I'm still trying to juggle January

Us retired folk like to plan things a long way in advance, so we can be twirly.

Twirly

The sooner it’s booked, the less chance of any disappointments.
Strange as it may sound, we already have bookings for Xmas this year;
Pirelli, M&S, some hospital depts. and a few other regular customers so if you’d like me to pencil it in for now I’ll gladly do so.
I just need a maximum number, it’s easier to remove tables nearer the time than trying to add them.

Let's go for the 9th as there have been no objections so far Rob, and numbers - who knows but we could say same as this year, 16? Or maybe 17 if Neil really is twirly

Guaranteed to tempt you out of hiding T

Haha

It's Robs bolognese to take home that does it for me

The grandsons had some too and when I asked them which they preferred, they bluntly said Robs

Sook!

Sook!

Ok. As it stands, I have room for 20 left so have booked it at that for now. Confirmation nearer the time will be helpful.
What time would you prefer?

7pm works for me Rob, allows plenty of time for a nice meal and then down the Cocktail bar with Jim and my lovely

Sorted

Agree with 1900 hrs

Anyone booked rooms yet? I'm currently in the nightmare of trying to plan a trip when a major event isn't yet finalised, so this is the only date I know...

Looking at the Ibis for a change.

Neil

Is this why you're learning Italian Simon ?

I'm a pizza fun ghi

Nothing at the Abberley when I looked, so next cheapest was the Crown and Mitre, so I'm trying there this year.

I've been improving my English by speaking to a Dutchman, while on holiday here in France.

Try it out in Carlisle Paul
