    We've decided on the 18th due to overwhelming majority, all are welcome.

    If you would like curry on the night (will be served at about 8:30) please add your name to the list on the last page. Curry is £10 a head, I'll be paying for it before the evening so if your name's on the list you will owe me a tenner.

    No doubt we'll still have a good turnout on the 11th any way :)

    Thanks for organising this...

    I have voted this time :oops:

    Gone for the 9th. I should be available for that week (the stuff I'll be on a day shift to do starts the week before, and it'll take at least two weeks), not so sure about the following week. 18th would be my second choice.....

    I've oted for the 18th, but can presently make other dates if they turn out to be more popular. Cheers, LiT. :)

    i'm good for pretty much any of those dates but seeing as I love to follow the herd the 18th it is.

    Now then where's the free wine...? out of my way!
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Bah... i pushed to have our team xmas dinner on the 18th to keep the 11th free. Looks like it's backfired on me :(

    Mrs G66 will be off her feet for the first two weeks of Dec; a fact I had until recently forgotten. Later the better for me.
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Hang on a minute the 18th is very close to Christmas, isn't it? And I will have finished work. This is sounding dangerously like a Christmas do......

    I'm in ......

    None suit at all but I guess the 18th is going to be the most popular so I can probably go with that - although it is the day after my birthday!

    18th would be best for me too, Friday's are the most suitable with travelling a little distance to visit hehe

    @LiT

    I think that's a clear majority for the 18th now.
    Shall we get that booked before we miss out again?

    I don't like to be controversial so went for the 18th too. That should hopefully also be my last day at work for two weeks. :)

    Well, I've just fired off an email to Lisa to say please can we go for the 18th and please can she get back to me as quickly as possible to confirm.

    I've got the red arrows end of season party the night before so sense I may have a stonking hangover to look forward to.

    I guess I could go after my work party, but I'll be wasted when I get there. I apologise in advance to anyone I may insult, fight or feel up.

    Yeah, really, points to you for that, even if you are effectively pimping yourself out for booze. What are you going to do once the sling's off? Break another limb? Go for a leg...

    I'm starting on you lot, so first MM is going to have a little accident - I'm thinking a broken leg for starters. I'll then claim free beer on his behalf.

    I went for 16th initially as I have that afternoon booked off and the following day.
    I am working on the 18th but if memory serves me correctly I will be up in London (the joy of being able to delegate where you and your team works!) so can also make that.
    Unlike IP this will be 1 day before my b-day so I can use it as a mini party so and I can then make a huge fuss of my second eldest on the following day for her birthday :-)

    IP: 'I'll carry it out to him'

    IP: *drinks beer*

    IP, you're diabolical. :P
