Okay folks, I'm due to fly back into UK on 19 Dec and 20th Dec is of course SW London DDK night.

Instead of heading for the Fairmile....how about we have another Crimbo Pee Up and trough as last year which I think we all enjoyed?? Maybe Richmond again???

Wotcha reckon?

Hey Viv, you thinking about the Orangetree again, would people like me to book it? Its right opposite Richmond train and underground station. Great beer and good food.

BTW. did you get a copy of the mag feature e-mailed over?

Count me in for the SW chapter Crimbo knees up.
Let's get a date sorted soon though, as diaries get busy in those final weeks, n'est-ce pas!

Orange Tree worked well last year, so reckon it's a strong contender...

Date?

Mike, would you mind e-mailing me that article as well.

Yeah Mike thanks - good to get a Maverick early fix!! I soo wish that I could beam Ferdi over here.....mostly cold, blue skies, the leaves are in fall mode and the colours in the mountains maginificent....and there are no cars on the road!!

All of this and I'm chugging round in a big Ford SUV

Yes please Mike - could you liaise with the Orange Tree please?

Ta!!

OK the Orangetree Richmond is booked! Wednesday 20th December 7pm for dinner at 8.30pm. Its a great place with Youngs beer

and right opposite the train and underground station in Richmond:

The food's great and the 3 course Xmas menu is good value at £23.95 a head

http://www.orangetreerichmond.co.uk/menu.asp?menu=1182

At this stage if you could let me have a head count of who's up for it to confirm numbers and I can put down a deposit to cover us all.
Should be a great night
