Right, taking the bull by the horns...

Friday 28th November at the Morpeth Arms from 6pm, then onto Millbank Spice for about 8. Bring a £10 cycling related Secret Santa gift with you.

As for numbers let's finalise that week?

I was going to write a very similar post myself for that same date. But do we really have to do the secret santa bit?

And I will be getting the tube, not biking there. I am a wuss :oops:

You still have to wear cycling gear, even if you come covered up and then reveal your cycling self on arrival. I'm not kidding i think it should be mandatory for a cycling forum christmas party.

I don't own any cycling gear...just wear old shorts and t shirts etc. :oops:

Good shout on the date.

I have a strange feeling the 28th is one of those important do not forget kind of dates, mmmh now how do I ask my wife when her birthday, mmmh

Anyway i'm in

Not hard for me given my predisposition to WTFU and ride to work in a ballgown

Don't worry, I posted a whole page of the same post a while back! Seemed Safari doesn't give the same feedback that a post has gone through that Firefox does :-)

Well, *of course* I will wear normal commuting gear. It's just that I wear work clothes for my commute. And on Fridays that means jeans

28th is good for me (at the moment)

Bike will depend on the weather...As in which bike I bring...not whether I'll ride in or not

biondino

28th is good for me too. I think there should be a list of people who want to do secret santa - I'm firmly in the "not really my cup of tea" camp, sorry.

Also, I have to say this. don_don, you are writing romantic fiction a la mills and boon. You're NOT writing romcom. Romcom is film or TV, it's written in script form, and it's funny.

Yup - agree completely.

Thinking about it I'd rather put my £10 SCRSS money into a beer kitty instead

Then everyone gets a bit of my Christmas spirit

Works for me if the SCRSS doesn't gain popularity!

If I'm welcome, if there are no kiddies to crash into and if I'm not pre-occupied with moving in with my girlfriend then I shall be making my first ever SCR social group appearance.

Will hope to ride in on Donnovan (my bike) and will be wearing cycle gear of some form. Not a big fan of secret santa though. (Sounds like that one is a bridge too far with the group right now)....

WTF is with the bike naming? Hmm, me thinks I could make a thread of this.......

Anyhow yes you are welcome (will give me someone to ride back with!) and no there won't be any kids to crash into :-)

Wont going to a curry/restaurant affair with a tonne of expensive bikes out side be a bit well you know risky??

Belv

I'd love to see the ride home afterwards. It will start slowly enough until someone sees a lower FCN rider ahead of them...!

Your assuming we'll be able to see afterwards :shock:

Of course, you are both right, no offence taken at all

Biondino - I'm flattered you even compared my scribblings to Mills and Boon, thankyou! Now I've got to go back to writing reports that might lose someone their job; far less satisfying

Really? Funny is it? *Scratches head. I cannot think of a single genuinely funny romcom... in fact I'm not convinced that it's a correctly named genre, lacking as it does in the aforementioned humour... :shock:

Come on, that's a bit harsh. Some romcoms are funny, like...er....um...hang on...

Big Brother isn't funny, it's depressing.

I agree, as long as you're talking about the film and not your post...
