Thumbs up Surrey Scoobies Christmas Big One!!!! 2005

As we all know it is getting towards that time of year where the big fellow in the red suit emptys his sacks all over the place!!! Well this year down in the sticks of Surrey i thought we could all leave the sleighs behind for once & have a night out on the town (or country) for a spot of festive cheer (& of course plenty of booze) The location i have thought of is The Mill At Elstead, nice place, it is between Godalming & Farnham on the B3001. i will post up the menu & price if everyone is happy with the location?
Lets start this one off for next year???

Dan

Sounds like a good idea to me and such a grand title for the thread
We'll have to carefully pick the date though, so as i'm not working!!

Nice one chaps, the more the merrier!! G nice to see you are up for this. It will be a change not to be in the motors, which will be handy for me as the Scoob is coming off the road until next year for a bit of surgery!! So i may be out in her for the next meet or i could be in something else???

Miserable sod indeed....what can i say, it's just not the same as when i was a kid....and this year both my sisters are loved up so won't be around much, and my folks have recently split up, but still living in the same house...talk about tense atmosphere so i'd rather be working for double time!!
So as a result i will be very much looking forward to a meal out with you guys and a few laughs

I'm with Pete, I get more and more bah humbug as the years go by. The fact that it’s advertised from the middle of August doesnt help!

Wouldn't mind coming down with the other half to catch up depending on date.

Well guys & girls, if everyone posts up dates they can do, we can all sort a date out!!! Oh the scoob is now off the road so it will also be a good excuse for me to drown my sorrows. I will be able to do from the end of November on, as my second job kicks into action next week with a big bang!!
