Time to decide on what we are doing about the party season - if you've got any opinions beyond the usual

"mess around in the lake for a bit then go to the Boat and give each other loadsa silly presents!" then please let me know

If you have a preference between doing this in December or January - please post that too

I'm pretty open to any ideas - as long as we keep the presents bit in somewhere and I get another bucket of maltesers

Re: Christmas Dooooooooo

You mean those maltesers that float in mid air?

I'd be happy with same as last year. Jan suits better, i'll be in the Black Forest this year for Christmas. No Chaswazzas this year though :D

Re: Christmas Dooooooooo

I want to come out to play - it sounds as though last years was a bit of a hoot. Just for logistical ease I would say January rather than December, but whenever it is I will try to join in.

Can I request not 8th or 15th Dec I'm back in Egypt - yes again!
 
got a date now - 12 January 08

keep it free and watch this space!
 
That's not Christmas!

Lets dive on Sunday 23rd December. I'll provide sherry and mince pies for any red-nosed freedivers.
 
Is 12th Jan a definite? Need to know cause we're booking Tutankhamun tickets around that time.
 
ok then, christmas in January sounds ok.

Why dont we have a fancy dress dive, let the scuba people judge and the winner gets a free snorkel or somefink??
 
Normally I hate fancy dress, but jumping in the pond in January i'll be happy to put on as many clothes as I can!
 
OK folks.. it's all booked up

Saturday 12th Jan - meet at 1pm at Chepstow for a fancy dress dive, prize of something ridiculous for the best fancy dress, we'll get you something good if you can actually dive in it!

Dinner in the evening in the snug at The Boat, their Christmas menu and they have a new chef. Bring a pressie worth around £10 that anyone in the gang could have a laugh it. If you bring a gift, you get a gift, if you don't you don't. Please don't use the fact that it's in January to bring some crap your granny gave you.... you know who you are ; )

Sunday - in traditional hung over fashion, we're running the first aid/CPR update, takes most of the day and will be at NDAC. Cost is £75, details on a separate thread. If yours it two years or more old, you need to update. If you've never done a first aid/CPR course, you should and this will do!

I've emailed you personally with an invite so please let me know if you'd like to come and if you're bringing any one. I'll get the menu out towards the end of November

We tried booking up paintballing and/or other stuff but it's d*** expensive and the wrong time of year.. maybe we'll do that for a summer do!

Looking forward to it

Pen and I have already got our pressies last week. I think we topped last years, if that is possible :D
 
Hey SaltFree,

Have fun there! Wish You lotsa pressies and good times!
