    It was a great night, I really enjoyed it, it was good to see everyone again. Thanks for having us Dinorex and thanks for the lift home Ciderman. I hope you got up for work okay.

    Starting to think of the Christmas A&R Beers for 2018.
    I volunteer to host it, if that's okay with everyone.

    I see we have quite a few new posters over the past year, which is fantastic to see, and it would be even better to see if you could come along and have the craic, talk games and, you never know, play a few as well!

    I haven't thought of a date as yet, first week or so of December.
    So I'll chime back with that as soon as.

    Let me know what's best for whom and so on.
    I'll try to provide floor space for those wishing to camp out if you have to travel.
    I'll also endeavour to be off the following day too!

    My Christmas party is the first Saturday in December so won't be able to make it if it's that date. I'm working every other weekend but I'm pretty sure I have a day left to book off. I'll get to show off my lack of gaming skills at some point...

    It's likely to be a Friday night, so I'd say perhaps the evening of the 7th of December.
    Finalise it later, I have a work doo or two myself

    My fashion meet might be that weekend too which would be great to do both. It'll be on early in the day they won't clash

    okay I'll defo do my best to attend this one :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,175 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    I'm on day shift the week of the 7th so could still attend if I can't get the day off work. Finish at 7pm so could be there around 7:30-8pm. Depending on when it starts!

    *Edited
    If anyone's interested in Secret Santa post to say so or I can try do a lucky dip again.
    I did it out of pocket last year, didn't mind since can't have beers to pay it back but dunno how money will work out this year, won't knows til the end of the month, waiting for dental surgery consultation (fingers and toes crossed) and some other stuff.

    If the dip is a better idea and I can't get as much stuff how do people feel about second hand things or if anyone had stuff to add to it like doubles, loot crate stuff they don't like ect. to bulk it out.

    I feel sorry for you. You've yet to experience the delights of the CDi


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Should be room?

    Atavan is more up for the pot luck type thing so it's not buying specific for a person. We can still do one a seperate one and have them wrapped, I can post Cake's and Cake can post one for me to bring.

    I'll still bring small stuff for everyone one the night just the Secret Santa people that were interested can be a little bigger?

    Thoughts?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,524 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I think, maybe, not do Secret Santa and just buy some small stuff.
    If everyone buys a few bits we can divide them on the night between the attendees, no one going without!

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,524 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, I'm going to call this one for the 7th of December, so all who can attend, please do!
    Let me know who is coming along and I'll make sure there's enough sausage rolls in!
