just wondering... a saturday afternoon thing would be a good idea so it'd double up as a regular Chessie meet? 2nd Saturday of December? (Or is that too late?) 2nd Sat of November if not? Best give them a call anyway cos they will be busy I bet.

What sort of time will it be, guys??

If it's lunchtime then suffolk1 will be joining us for mince-pies about 4:30 :) If it's early evening then he can join us for a meal :D

(Yeah, I know, will prolly be lunchtime!!)

Ken

21-10-2003, 23:26

Going to pop down to the Monkey Puzzle on Friday and have a chat with them, I'll post some details at the weekend:)

Ninja

22-10-2003, 21:13

We`ll be up for that:thumbs: , not in the 2***** though it`s all tucked away in the garage,there`s a new beast in town:thumbs:

Ken

22-10-2003, 23:45

Okay would most people prefer an afternoon meal/normal meet type thing or a good evening piss up type thing

I vote for the later but majority rules
opinions please

shadowninja

23-10-2003, 09:52

afternoon meal for me... means we can still do the car thing too.

CBomb

23-10-2003, 12:51

I can't remember seeing any train stations nearby. I'm sure there must be one to get to the world of adventures.

Providing it's not too much of a pain to get to I'd be up for an evening drink up (just need to work out how to get home!!!)

***:nod:

shadowninja

23-10-2003, 15:17

Chessington South BR station (great if you want to be relieved of belongings). Or numerous buses eg 71. Rather not go by public transport hence my opting for the daytime thing.

Ken

23-10-2003, 15:37

Going to pop in there after work on Friday, have a chat with them and see what they can do for us

Ken

24-10-2003, 20:58

Just been down to the Monkey Puzzle and had a chat with them about our Christmas Meal/Drink

We can have it on the second Sat which is the 13th of Dec and we have a choice of two sittings, 6.30 or 8.30, if we go for the 6.30 sitting we have to clear the tables by about 8.00, if we go for the 8.30 we can stay there all night if we want. We need to pay a £5 per head deposit to book, then the balance on the night

They are doing a three course meal for £14.95 all in ( see attached menu for choices ) drinks extra of course

http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/attachment.php?s=&postid=589491

We need to get it booked and pay the deposit ASAP to make sure we get the date and time we want so I need to know the following

What time sitting you would prefer ( we will go with the majority on this )
Who definetley want's to go, if you can think of anyone else who hasn't posted please tell them to let me know. So we can can get it booked quickley, I'm quite happy to pay the deposit for everyone and you can then send me a cheque when its all booked and confirmed.

Looking to get this booked next Friday so if you can all let me know by then I would appreciate it. Once I've got it booked and confirmed I will need to know what you would like from the menu. Think thats about it, any questions you can ring me on 07753 605171, Cheers Ken

shadowninja

24-10-2003, 21:02

8.30 it is then! I'm not gonna leave til i'm goddam ready! :rant: :D

PS well done for organising it!

Ken

24-10-2003, 21:04

Good thats two of us for 8.30, was also thinking might be an idea for those from the same areas to share taxis so everyone can have a beer

Doug

24-10-2003, 21:36

Count me in as No.3 :)

I cna drop my deposit down to you whenever Ken...

MIGHT bring my new *****, have to see if i can get it insured some how :) I dont usually drink so will drive... mind you ill see innit... cant be an unsociable bastard and not get smashed with the rest of you.

If i drive i can squeeze some people from Sutton/Carshalton in the car... Short people only as you know the score with back seats and 200s :)

Nice one Ken.

Doug

Ken

24-10-2003, 21:39

Cheers Doug, was thinking me, you, Jim and one other could share a cab, don't worry about the deposit, I'll get it booked and we can sort it later:)

Doug

24-10-2003, 21:51

Yeh that sounds like a plan.. obviously if i decide to drive you and Jim can just jump in with me... if not we can stumble back in a cab..

Maybe Lee, although hes in Stoneleigh, or *****s in Carshalton.

Doug

24-10-2003, 21:53

I thought about this ages ago, but i must have forgotten to put it up.

I will be able to rope one of my mates into driving down there, i have already asked and the answer is yes, but they will have to take my car which isn't a problem.

I might even be able to talk my bro into driving some peeps down there in his car (4 door) much better.

Just a time and a place is all i need.
