Hi Mike et al,

Myself and Glyn will be happy join you all (Mike, Glyn has asked if she still banned or not? ;)).
Not sure if we'll be eating, just depends on the time of the meal and the menu (due to Glyn's "eating habits").

Glyn has also asked if some future socials could be planned for a Saturday, so those with children, or adults who have to get up early for work on Monday, can attend for both the day and evening meal and not be clock-watching – I stress this concern/question comes from Glyn, not me, and therefore I’ve been forced to pen her “request” !! (however if she's still banned who cares:p)

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Cheers

Jeff
 
Hi Jeff your lovely wife is still banned so hence her request has been ignored lol ONLY KIDDING "EFFIN" WE WOULD MISS YOU.
I have in the past talked to other members about saturday socials and most people either have work on the saturday or use that day for housework/shopping. i do understand that members that travel from a distance away have to factor in the return trip in the days timing and also time to chill before work. Ourselves are up at 5 every morning and i generally work 6 days aweek.
I do try to organise the food timing as early as possible to maximise the oportunity to get home at a sensible time---BUT WILL GIVE IT THOUGHT FOR FUTURE EVENTS.
CHEERS MIKE
OUR NEXT EVENT WILL BE A CAMPING WEEKEND SO GET YOUR TENTS READY PEOPLE!
 
Unfortunately i can't attend this social event . But will be at Audi in the park . Hope you lot are nice people , as it will be my first event lol
 
Don't worrie redbull we are a friendly bunch. We don't bite unless you ask that is lol. Looking forward to meeting you in Aug.

Cheers

David
 
Hi Mike as talked on the phone i will be coming to the zoo and the meal but maddy will not be able to. Looking forward to seeing some of your relations in the monkey compound--will they let you out mike?
 
Just a further suggestion from Jeff's comments.
I understand that it will always be difficult to satisfy all takers but perhaps socials can be held on Saturdays AS WELL as Sundays. An equal split would accomodate all members more fairly. We are finding that to get the kids prepared for school, we often have to forego the evening meal. This also holds true if the social event is some distance from home. Certainly a major attraction for us is the time spent with fellow A2'ers and we find that constantly being wary of the time detracts from what is always a very pleasant event.

Just a thought ...

ps We will be at the zoo, but will not attend the dinner - school for the boys next day.
 
Hi Tony yes I do see your case for saturday socials and I will give it consideration to future social activities. I'm sure you will be happy as the next social will infact be a Friday night through to sunday afternoon.
Watch this space cheers mike
 
Well Mark you should stay away from those baked beans:p

Looking forward to seeing you at Colchester.

Cheers

David
