Thursday 20th December 2012 - Social Evening

[John]

As we approach Chrsistmas our last evening of the year is an opportunity to gather and chat to each other. It is also an opportunity to partake of some fine fare, which may well inlcude a selection of delicious sandwiches and perhaps even a mince pie or two.

When the evening closes, no doubt we shall wend our way homwards, pausing to purchase a turkey from some lonely butcher's shop, giving a shilling to some poor urchin and listening to the wailing cry of Carol Singers in the far distance.....

A Merry Christmas to you all!

[Tracey McGovern]

Or..... if you are from this century, you'll call into a pub for a pint or two and have a proper "Merry Christmas" - hahaha...!!!!

John - I think you need to get out more

A "shilling" John? My granddad told me about those things - they came into our currency just after 'groats' I believe. Before my time obviously

OK, if we're feeling flush, perhaps a Florin instead?

[Walter Brooks]

Following on from Tracey' suggestion or was it an invitation, the 'Boys from the Black Stuff' will be in the Little Lion in Atherton, this and every week by way of celebration. Do feel free to join us ...

Hello Everyone,
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the social evening on Thursday due to unforeseen work commitments. As I won't be seeing you all I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! and look forward to the first meeting in January.

Best Wishes

Geoff

Thanks for the message Geoff and Merry Christmas to you as well, we'll see you in the New Year!

[John]

Hope you all had a good time, the place certainly seemed to be buzzing! Be (fairly) good over the holidays, and see you all at the beginning of January!
