Ribnet (Well past) X-mas Meal

[Nasher]

Guys

Finally managed to get some proper PC access back, so am now able to communicate again.

Thanks for all The PMs I’ve received recently with menu choices and requests to pay.

The Bridge are being a little more relaxed about things than the Lightship were, so I’ve now paid a small deposit based on the confirmed numbers so far but have the option to change that until a few days before hand.
Barring any more PC issues I will PM out tonight my address for cheques etc.
The web defender on my work laptop doesn’t like PMs for some reason.

As already mentioned we are short of numbers compared to previous years with only 21 confirmed at the moment.
If anyone else feels like coming I can guarantee it will be fun, so just let me know, preferably before Monday.

Thanks

Nasher.

Well .... there's always the boat option, if you want me to pick you up in Lymington! That'll make it a late night and an adventure!

[Nasher]

Many thanks for the menu choices and paymets so far

We are still well short of numbers compared to previous years, I don’t know what happened last year to put people off.

So there is plenty of room for anyone else that wants to attend, just let me know.

Would love to make up the numbers, have been monitoring when this event will be on as would love to come along and have a couple of Guiness's or seven with you guy's.
But booked to go over to Belfast for the weekend (Family event)

Hope the night's a success.

Have a great time everyone

I think it would be very appropriate to get there and back by boat, so I'd be up for it if you are provided the weather isn't too bad. Anybody else interested (either in Grimalkin or as part of a convoy)?

Would be great going this route.... all pending where we are staying.... know my pals would love boat ride..... we are bringing our dry suits as we are doing Thundercat on Sunday.....

You and your pals are of course more than welcome, which would leave one spare place if IanM and 250kts come as well. Bear in mind that it will be weather dependent, so alternative means of getting there and back may also be needed....

You'll enjoy the Thundercats Bogi

The smaller Nashers and myself went out in them the other Sunday in a very choppy and windy Southampton Water.

Great fun.

The list of people confirmed as attending is below.
Can you check please to see If I’ve been accurate with my records?
Just a couple of people are still outstanding with their Menu Choices which I could really do with now.

There is still room for others to join in, but unless I have your menu choices very soon you’ll have to take pot luck on the night as to what’s available and possibly not be able to eat at exactly the same time as the rest of us.

As usual I’d appreciate stories by PM of anything these people have got up to during the last year that deserves to be shared with everybody. Or indeed anyone not attending who also deserves to have their mistakes aired in public.
Oh, and of course, if anyone has done anything clever, selfish, brave etc that would also be appreciated.

Note I’m having the same issue as others with Mrs Nasher not attending.
Something to do with her mother taking her for a meal and a show in London which was on the calendar I never look at months ago, and of course I’m not in trouble about it at all

[biffer]

don't know whats up with you guys and you're women, thrash them and lock them in a cupboard then poke spiders under the door, if that doesn't work, next time she want's to go somewhere tell her just before you are going that you don't want to go, by the way have i told you i'm not married

[Nasher]

Come on Guys and Girls, I need some stories of stupidity or heroic acts for Saturday night, otherwise Biff will get an award for having the best control over his other half.

Er no

All

There is one important thing I forgot to add.

19:30hrs to sit down at 20:00hrs

Nasher.

[Hightower]

I'm a bit p&*%ed off that Lady 7 didn't ask the Saturdays along for the evening when she saw them last weekend I fancied having a chin wag with Frankie

[Nasher]

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

Will anyone be joining me in the traditional Black Tie etc?

Nasher.

[Nasher]

Just a Reminder of Menu Choices

Nasher

[Hightower]

I've PMed Bingo Mike and have not been given any instructions about being picked up. So I'll offer anyone else the chance of a free Taxi service between Fareham and Portsmouth tonight.
