Xmas meal (Fully booked!) + Night of partying! 15/12 - Reading
With a twist! It's going to be in Reading this year
Effectively we're having a joint Xmas bash with the Hampshire and Dorset lot and I'm keen to try something a little different this year.
Soooooo...
The bulk of people stayed in a cheapy hotel in Guildford last year which, to my mind at least, makes the location a little irrelevant. Add to that the fact that we all usually have the same people each year let's have a change of scenery.
It's still in the preliminary stages but here is a rough outline of what we (Guy and I) are planning.
The Date - Confirmed
Saturday 15th December
The Hotel - Confirmed
The Reading Central Travelodge is doing double and family rooms for £24 a night at the moment , I've just booked mine, mega cheap!!!

The After Party
Our plan is to meet up after the meal and give folks a couple of hours to freshen up at the hotel, change or play with themselves. I am confindent that the majority will be power drinking the whole way through though so here's where we're going...
http://www.sakurareading.com/
Gold women and swamp donkeys not included!
We have a table reserved for us on the condition that we spend £500 between us (shouldn't be hard!)
We'll all be on the guest and have free entry providing we go in as a group so we'll be meeting up the at 9pm sharp to head inside, if you miss it there is a discounted entry fee.
To top it all we've even got waitress service for the night!
The Location - Confirmed
Reading town centre
We're going to try and do it a little differently this year and hold a Christmas lunch followed by an evening party.
We'll be sitting down for food at about 2pm til 6ish. Then it'll be back to the hotel to freshen up before hitting an exclusive venue for the full VIP treatment.
I'm in contact with the Premier in there trying to negotiate a discounted room rate but I'd like a rough idea of numbers so if you're free on the 15th Dec and fancy getting involved in the club Xmas do then drop a post in here and I'll add all the info as we sort the fine detail out
