That will not be a problem Tim.

While the staff at The Churchillian are very grateful that we have given them definite (deposit-paid) bookings and menu choices (so they can order in supplies) in plenty of time for the 15th, we did mention to them on Saturday that there were a couple of people who were still not able to confirm because of special circumstances. They are prepared to be very flexible about one or two last-minute bookings. So please 'phone them with menu choices and arrange to send the deposit cheque directly to them. Many thanks and it's great news that your friend will be joining in!

Thanks guys. All sorted

Can someone confirm wether or not we are definatly doing this secret santa thing.....

The Jackeens · 12 December 2006, 08:08

Yes indeed Not-so Tiny Tim!

All go for Friday night. All dressed up for the occasion, we shall arrive there after 7.00.

The Churchillian is looking remarkably festive (they've dragged out a bit of balding tinsel and sellotaped it over the atmospheric grime on the windows).
The Bar Staff were beaming at the prospect of us all descending on them in noisy form and it has to be said they can't wait to fill our night with good cheer.

We shall occupy the coveted front area with panoramic views of the Solent (ok they've shoved us in the front with another Crimbo Do) and the requisite festive napkins, gaudy crackers and plastic holly will adorn the groaning tables.

Please bring a wrapped surprise gift (aka secret santa). If, like Hightower

you're intending to wrap an old bilge pump then please include '101 uses of an old bilge pump' in case it doesn't land in a ribster's lap.

Suggested value of secret santa is £0.01 up to £5.00. Unfortunately, couples have to bring two pressies (one each) with of course the possibility of going home with two bilge pumps & '202 uses' etc.

Oh and NO BILGE PUMPS please

Could have mounted one of these.....Very Painful

Andy · 14 December 2006, 23:48

Have a fantastic party guys, sorry I wont be with you this year, however I am diving in Brussels.

2006 will be one of those year where work prevented all my plan. Neither Ricky or me have been out and about ... but we did get to Alderney in the summer. In 2007 we hope to see more of you all.

Have a great Christmas

Is there anyone going to this who lives in the Central Portsmouth area? Our original plan of getting there has fallen through, and being impoverished students we're after a lift

So, is anyone able to provide a lift for three drunken students (we promise not to be sick in your car). Payment will be of the liquid variety

PS. Olly i txt your earlier about this. If you didn't get it pm or txt me.
PPS Your inbox if full.

Hightower · 15 December 2006, 02:23

How come you are always impoverished students when drinking is involved and you require a lift then?

Sorry Tim. Can't help.

We will be booking a taxi for 4-6 from Nth. Pompey.
(If ye start walking now ye should be well warmed up by 7.32

)

Now the biggest question of the night will be....

Can anyone remember their menu choices?
