EDF Christmas Party - Friday 14 December (tonight) @ The Plough

[Michael Palaeologus]

The suggestion is that we have the Christmas EDF party on Friday 14 December at The Plough. Its a big pub and we do seem to be able to attract a good number of people (20 last night at the Forest Hill Tavern) and more will probably come to a Christmas Party.

I believe that there is a person from the Plough on the forum - could you host us? If so - what can we do in the way of music and food?

Last night, somebody was volunteered as a DJ by their wife, sorry cant remember the name - it was late.

Dress code would be "Dress to Impress" - precisely how you impress is entirely up to you.

I think that any date at that time will be pronlematic for some as they will already have prior engagements - but we have to plump for something and the 14th seemed as good as any and better than some.

What do you think folks?

I think you're a bit perky this morning!

It sounds like a splendid plan - a small, unknown garment factory on Mundania Road is currently reviewing the designs for my outfit for the evening

[mockney piers]

Darn, a day before my return from visiting huguenot in Singapore. Have a fantabulous time!!

[AnotherPaul]

I was that volunteered DJ and am looking forward to it already.

Could do with a few of us doing the sounds, anyone else up for sharing the role? BarryM?

I'll be using my laptop but we could set up decks too. Michael, we should ask the Plough about their set-up.

Sounds a wonderful idea.

My play will have been over one week so I shall desparately need a party type deal thing.

(Who we supposed to impress by the way? I'm crap at that!)

[Ant]

I'm already double booked that night. :/

I thought mairead was lobbying hard for the 20th at the last do - but clearly the vote went for the 14th at fridays meet-up.

I am already booked to sing at the Royal Festival Hall, but it's occuring to me that I'll be in Scottish evening dress so a trip from the RFH over to ED might just work out nicely.

After all, you're not likely to be winding up early, are you?

[Michael Palaeologus]

I dont think that an early finish is likely!

[Annasfield]

Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, I can't make that night as it's the orifice xmas party. Have fun though!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Its our Xmas party too - I'm doing both.

[Annasfield]

Hmmm, not a good idea (on my part anyway) Office Xmas party boozing normally starts at lunchtime. Think it would be teriibly messy if I turned up later on. I think I'll just save my shame for my colleagues on Monday morning.

[Ant]

Looks like I'll be able to make it along after all, although not until a bit later on. Work do first. Could be messy.

Please get it touch with the plough at [email protected]

Thought I may be able to make my first Forum party but have my work do on 14th. Maybe will be able to make one in 2008.

[The Rafester]

Is this going ahead ?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes! The Plough have confirmed.

[monica]

Lordship lane traders will be having a xmas drink that night and we thought of the plough too,looks like we may have to book,it will be a busy night

[Michael Palaeologus]

Its a big pub.

[SeanMacGabhann]

excellent news monica. Michael is right it's big pub. Should be a grand evening

[monica]

Look fwd to meeting the forumites.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Thought I would bounce this back up again.

Friday the 14th of December at The Plough, 8pm onwards.

Dress to impress. How you impress is up to you.

Tis the season of goodwill to all men and women.

[Brendan]

My work christmas party starts with a champagne recpetion at 12 that afternoon. I will get to the plough about 9 or 10 when I get tired of watching once a year drinkers make idiots of themselves.

I apologise in advance for my state upon arrival.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am in the same position, will probably appear well oiled.

[Brendan]

I'll try to wash the oil off before I get there.
