I know Spike and Vix took the lead on this in previous years - happy to take this one on if you're not up for it, but at the same time don't want to step on anyone's toes; I guess we'd stick with the formula that seems to work - Giraffe in MK for its central location and decent vegetarian options, wear something yellow in memory of Colin (BOK)?
Just getting the ball rolling...
Looks like this is on!
If it aint broke, don't fix it - we're going to repeat the successful formula of previous Project Puma Christmas Meals and meet at Giraffe, Milton Keynes for drinks and food and fun. Held in honour of Colin (Bok), a much-loved former member of the club; please wear something YELLOW!
Date:
8th December 2012.
Time:
7:30pm - confirmation received from Giraffe.
A non-refundable deposit of £10 is required to confirm your attendance (this counts towards your food/drinks bill, obviously - so if you wanted the three course meal, only £9.95 plus your drinks would be payable on the day) - please PayPal deposits to projectpumadeposits (at) nesis (hyphen) solutions (dot) co (dot) uk:
I will also need your meal choices ASAP (remember you're not tied to the Christmas menu below, you can choose from the normal menu if you prefer - I will still need to know your order well in advance, though!)
