Default Xmas for the Northants people

If we are going to do something this year, then we'd better get it organised before long. I don't mind sorting it out so if you want to leave some suggestions below then I will happily look into it. Let me know if you have any dates you can't make.

We could have it in Sainsburys. They do 3 boxes of Stella for £20. They sell other stuff too so I've been told......... food or something stupid like that.

I know a nice pub just outside Norwich - could never find it again though ! - Dan get ya sat nav ready again

My two pence worth...

Whilst i would love to go hooning across A roads in Wales at some point...

It's not what i'd like to do for an Xmas outing
I'm not enough of talented driving God/maniac to keep up with those that are motorways are one thing, A roads are entirely a different matter

That just leaves bowling n meal, location and dates Angus i'm totally flexible on - although MK sounds a good option

I'm with dashpig on this one. The "vasectomy" has had a knock on effect on my knee meaning I won't be up to any hard driving quite yet. I'd prefer a social gathering. If there's a little drive to get there I don't mind either, just Wales is a bit far.

I need to know the dates you will be available for.

I don't mind going to MK, but it may be easier for some if it was in Northampton.

The bowling and eating sounds like the preferred choice at the minute, do you have ideas as to an eating venue or shall it be a suprise?

There's a good curry house in St James if you're thinking of sixfields for the bowling. We've no preference for dates at the moment.

Good morning Angus.

I vote for the bowling at 9.30, with a meal somewhere else before.

I reckon that will be the best bet.

I'm going to have to pay for it by 1st Dec. So if everyone lets me know exactly who's coming, I can pay for the right amount and not end up over or under booking.

Although i can make just about any evening (20th is out for me - works do) sounds like the 16th isn't a goer anymore

Angus - what about during the week or even Fridays - surely we're not gonna be that late up for peeps on a school night

Just a thought - and tryin to be helpful

yeah it's lookin like that's gonna be the answer

It's at the Saints ground - should be a right good bash as it goes - reckoning on about 150 people turning up - i'm sure they won't mind a few crashers - only thing is it's on a Wednesday not lookin forward to the morning

As you say that'll teach ya to offer and there was me looking forward to me Santa Hat
