Foccin' Humbug, alas, alas. - Aegis Bearing Mel - 15-09-13
Sorry to say folks that due to life throwing a spanner in the works, this looks to be cancelled.
I'm looking at a Friday night arrival and a Sunday afternoon departure, so once we know which weekend I'll make a start at emailing places.
Depending where we end up meeting I'll be aiming for the closest Holiday Inn/Travel Lodge to there.
If you'd like to do similar, I'll email and see if they'd do a discount on multiple rooms.
Might even find somewhere that does digs and functions in the one place.
In years gone by Madders made a decent fist of organising a Festive Frolic down in the Forest of Dean, a splendid wee weekend of talking pish, drinking ale, munching turkey and generally having a Winter Feast.
It really was a rather splendid, if lightly attended, shindig.
Being in the middle of nowhere didn't help, so it fizzled out.
My thinking is that Manchester, albeit not everyone's destination of choice, does sit rather nicely in the middle of the country and has pretty decent transport links, not to mention a shed load of discount hotels.
:thumbup
Soooooo, would there be much interest in a wee Saturday night Festive Feast in Scumchester around the 7th or 14th December?
Cheeky wee hotel booking for the Saturday night (I'd hazard that I'd be doing similar for the Friday night), an evening of excess, mayhap some dancing followed by a bleary wee journey home on the Sunday.
Figure if there is enough interest by the start of October we could arrange something decent, I'll happily take on the role of sorting a list of venues and the like if folks show enough interest.
Hopefully even manage a wee discount if there are enough bodies looking to book too...
What do you all think?

I,m going on the train ,so unless I do a Pelham 123 it aint happening :lol
Re: Foccin' Manc-y Christmas do (7th/14th December) - pilgrim - 20-09-13
I may be interested in attending this event, seeing as how I'm only 10 miles from Manc and therefore have no excuse for not turning up :lol
But I absolutely refuse to involve myself in any event that might involve a trip to Canal Street, some think its a 'cool' thing to do, but I just think its weird :eek
