Hey guys! Hope you all had superb fun with the festivities & are raring to go with this wonderful new term. Start of a new year, which means time to dust off the pool cues & get back into action (for those of you not dedicated enough to be practicing every day that is). Happily, it also means us all getting together for a start-of-year shindig! You know we've all missed each other dearly these long weeks...

Due to numerous complaints about curry in the past (I can't think why, but hey) I thought this time we could head to Sthingys - that way you can get curry if you want but there's plenty of top notch alternative pub grub for anyone otherwise inclined. Plus the cheap booze is always a good thing in my books.

I therefore need to know 2 things from you:
1. Which dates you can do out of Weds 17th, Sunday 21st, Tuesday 23rd, or Weds 24th.
2. If you think Sthingys is just a bad idea & would rather do curry/go somewhere else entirely.

Overwhelm me with keenness & respond asap. There will be a suitably exciting theme, to be revealed when further details are decided.

Will be seeing you all very soon! Love & huggles,

However I've come to the conclusion that end of Mich term = lots of Christmas parties = generally low availability. Although this COULD be worked around, at end of term everyone's knackered, and I thought a much better idea would be for us to get together at the start of next term - we can kick off the new year as we mean to go on, and all have much more fun with it too as we'll be fresh-faced and sparkly after all that lovely vac rest and home cooking. Plus 6 weeks being good (perhaps) at home will make everyone UBER keen to get social (read as 'drunk') again asap, all good things.

If anyone thinks this is off key & I get enough complaints that people want a social before we're off, I'll try and sort something out, so feel free to post/PM/email me opinions.

But otherwise keep an eye on your inboxes in the new year - hopefully a few more blokes will get the message this time round!

Love & hugs to all xV]]> Jenny Boland Off Topic Sat, 18 Nov 2006 12:43:00 +0000 http://www.cupc.co.uk/forum.php?phorum_query=read,7,54,54#msg-54 http://www.cupc.co.uk/forum.php?phorum_query=read,7,54,54#msg-54
Anyone else go see it tonight? How great was that! Absolutely hilarious film!]]> Matt Galloway Off Topic Fri, 03 Nov 2006 11:29:00 +0000 http://www.cupc.co.uk/forum.php?phorum_query=read,7,53,53#msg-53 http://www.cupc.co.uk/forum.php?phorum_query=read,7,53,53#msg-53

The time has come for our start-of-year dinner - a chance for everyone to get to know each other a bit better (& get drunk) in a non-pool setting. This will make it much more fun & relaxed to play with each other in teams for the rest of the year, as well as knowing a friendly face when we face each other in college leagues!

So the plan is to go for a curry one night. If you want to come along, and you know you do, please PM/email me to let me know which nights you are available between the 13th & the 18th, except the 17th cos it won't be then cos I already know lots of us are busy :) I'll see when most people can make it & then set a firm date & pick a venue (anyone have any specific preferences?).

Hope to get lots of extremely enthuiastic replies soon - especially from our freshers & other new recruits! 'Til then, my darlings, keep a-practicing!

Jenny
