    Right lads, about time we had one of these again. There hasn't been a good beers in a while though there have been a few informal ones (beermile etc). Always a good way to meet the faces behind the usernames.

    So who's in?

    I guess the best thing now is to decide a date. I am guessing Saturday will suit most rather than friday so please vote on one of the 3 options. Please don't vote unless you intend going Mutple voting is allowed so vote for any date you can make; poll will close in 10 days. The more that can make it the better.

    Now discuss :D

    Sweet! No better man to start this thread! :D 7th would suit me best as it's after the Jingle Bells. I'll venture up to that one!

    Other two look like a no-go for me! XC the 22nd December! :eek:

    We need a pub with a good selection of decent beer too. Meno I know you will have that under control! :cool:

    Anybody with any ideas; post them up here. Once this poll closes and date is decided when can throw up another poll on potential location; so all suggestions now welcome.

    Alright; this is looking like a landslide victory for the 7th.
    So far the only venue suggestion is Against the Grain. Any others??

    Planning on making my comeback race the Jingle bells - so it would be great to celebrate and finally meet some boardies after. The 7th gets my vote!
