As long as Mrs Mole, makes the cakes

The Midlands Not sure to be honest? but would love to be able to make it this year

Somewhere with a hotel near by (eg staggering distance)

Midlands makes sense as technially it is in the middle for everyone.

another vote for Midlands

Not if you are Mr Mole coming down.................sort of Bradford/Leeds area in the middle

I'm sure Mr Mole said that the midlands was his favourite place and he loved driving to it .............. or i may have just made that up

Midlands (though it means us southerners going into foreign territorys ) is logical as its in the middle.

Maybe like last year we could find a hotel which has a crimbo dinner etc going on...that way we'll only have a few yeards to stagger ....or.....Charity Crimbo Dinner with an Indian twist at Raz's in Cheltenham, theres loads of B&B's close by, we can go mad at the 2 pigs afterwards & maybe bump into Lucy Brooks again (long but extremely funny story)

Midlands gets my vote aswell, roughly central to most people

Ahh the infamous Lucy......Just a woman who lives in Cheltenham & has a very nice dining table and a fridge full of beer Mat, Aido, Thom or Barrie maybe able to tell you the full story as I'm just way too busy at the mo

all very well organising it in the midlands
but last year it was made up of southerners and hence in london
the year before it was in milton keynes and other than paul everyone else travelled from the south to get there

if the northern and midlanders want it in the midlands they need to attend !!

why not find a hotel with a banquetting suite and we can just book that im sure if the numbers were of the 50+ mark we would get a good rate plus booking early and all hey we could even hire a DJ or wozza and mini woz im sure a disco rig would appear from somewhere

i attended a christmas party in milton keynes once if i remember correctly

i dont mind where it is, its just the date that i would really need to know due to work and travel to the venue

sadly last year there was about 8 of us, and the year before was the same !!

if everyone says they want to go and we can get some decent numbers commiting we can centralise on where the majority are coming from and base location on that

for some reason most loc members dont seem to want to celebrate, would be really nice if we could get a good gathering
this years jae has shown how good things can be

im up for it depending on date

I'll be happy to attend but i didnt last year as it was on a week night wasnt it and i couldnt make it due to the time it takes to get there.

Also i'll come if i'm invited in my fiesta

Its ok Rik, you can park next to my Audi

I agree with stav...North west!!...but since itd be abit unfair on people from dwn south to travel for hours wel say..north west'ish'

I'm up for it, would be prepared to travel a reasonable distance for it, doesn't have to be just down the road from me

erm wasn't last year on a Saturday night, straight after the LOC TDi Dyno Meet not more that a mile away and only 8 people attended ?

Yup thats right wozza

My only excuse was I was working, but for many others who also attended the LOC TDi Dyno Day
there wasn't that much of an excuse on a Saturday when they were only 1 mile away to be honest
other than possibly distance to drive home that night, but there are cheap Hotels nearby for those
who fancy a drink.

I hope this years will be much more successful, maybe Milton Keynes/ Northampton ? Easy access etc.

think a hotel with dinner @ hotel is a good idea...........

vote for the midlands for me

[quote name='ProLex-UK' post='578944' date='Sep 4 2008, 05:58 PM']think a hotel with dinner @ hotel is a good idea...........[/quote]

I agree
The one we did a couple of years ago in milton keynes was good, jury inn hotel.

/subscribes

can confirm i wont be able to make this peeps....going somewhere far more sunny this year

Think we would go (The Mole Family) if it was in a good location, would be taking a train down.
So somewhere near a train station

im sure if the mole family isnt to big we might offer to collect you from the station as long as we get dibs on the sugar treats 1st
ummmmmmm sugar treats

Milton Keynes is fine for me

Sorry i was wrong about last years.

That sounds good to me

Would only be two or three of us

Sugar treats we could come to some kind of deal, one cake/sugar treat per mile

Well Lindsay and I were from furthest away and we stayed for the Christmas meal.

Wasn't terribly Christmas-ey though because it was a little early (November) in order to try and get everyone when they were already together.

Was probably a good thing that I didn't get home until well after Match of the Day finished because it was the day Sunderland got beat 7-1 last season...

Exactly my point Adam.
Too many members talk the talk about club events/meets etc, but don't put any effort in when it comes to attending.

btw where were you @ JAE ? Not the same without you both

So any decisions been made yet?

[quote name='Rikos' post='581553' date='Sep 11 2008, 01:48 PM']So any decisions been made yet?[/quote]


Not as yet,

I wont be around for the next 2 weeks, from saturday, i will pop in if i can, but not guaranteed.

Maybe if we could have a list of who will go for def, then we can sort out somewhere which is quite central for those attending.

When i return i will look into making a booking for us.

Kids welcome?

Not sure anyone will be able to say they can definitely go if they don't know when or where it is. But I would certainly like to go and would try and make it if I could.

I may be up for it depending on date and location. Vote for midlands/MK.

Please can I park my S80 next to the Audi and Fiesta????
