MINI Meats Christmas lunch - Sunday 2nd Dec

[N12 JLK]

Well, not long until the big fella will be along with a sack full of pressies. I have organised a Christmas lunch for all!

Sunday 2nd December 2007 at 1pm. Outside Inn in Larbert(as recommended by our very own Mr Corsar, they must do bubbles). They also have a great play area for all the big kids. Booking made for 20 people, so get your names down quick.
Meet at 12:30 car park
Directions are;

http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=24251&iscsell=true

They do not have a website or an online menu, however, once I get a paper copy I will post up. Cost of £13.95 for 3 courses. Deposit of £5 per head required by end of October.Once Ive posted the menu you will all need to make a choice also as we need to let them know what were having to eat when paying the deposit. If you can give me your deposit at the knockhill meet or send me a PM and you can pop a cheque in the post. Been a few times and food is great, you can drop kids off at the play area and pick them up when you leave.

Oh, and there will be a Secret Santa this year again. Everyone should bring a £1 gift on the day and everyone can pull a gift from the Jason's sack!

1 - Jason, Lesley and Kerr
2 - Markyc
3 - Craig and Jude (deposit paid)
4 - Crombers and Karen (deposit paid)
5= Ian & Sarah (Deposit paid)
6= Andy & Lenore (Deposit paid)
7= Elfman (Euan)
8= Lesley (Deposit paid)

the outside inn oh dear well I got to tell you Jason and sorry Marky boy but if your eating there then I am out

for me it is one of the worse places to eat tried it several times. IMHO mind just because I don't like it others may love the food.

[N12 JLK]

Sorry to hear that Fi. Been a few times and never had a complaint.

If Craig's going it must be good:D

[N12 JLK]

You said it;)

Why dont you and Alan come along for a drink on the day?

[Scottie]

You said it;)

Why dont you and Alan come along for a drink on the day?

your alright next time;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Well. Normally we'd be a no. 'Cos it's December and December is a really busy month for us and difficult to take weekend days off.

However, the 2nd is also Mrs P's birthday (ooooh, I'm gonna pay for that:eek: :eek: ), so we're booked off work anyway.;)

So, we'll be there!:D

Fi, surely this is just a Brewer's Fayre type place. A bit microwavey foodstuff, but you can't really go wrong. Or am I wrong?:confused:

A.;)

[john]

How far is it from Aberdeen?:confused:

[AndyP & Lenore]

[ELFMAN]

Jason, I'm REALLY sorry - I'm going to have to pull out of the Xmas Noshfest. I was supposed to be going to Edinburgh to see my friends and their kids closer to Christmas, but they've had to re-schedule dates for family reasons, so this weekend's the only time I can go now. I won't be back until Sunday evening, so I'm a bit stuck. I only found out this evening, but apologies for the late cancellation. I always take the kids pressies through in December, so it would be rotten to disappoint them. I'm now going to have to do some panic Xmas shopping! Any latecomers are welcome to use my deposit - no point in it going to waste. See you at the next run. I was looking forward to some stuffing....... (fnaaaaaaaaaarrrrr etc).

[ELFMAN]

No probs Jason, it's just the way things worked out - have a great night everybody!

[AeroJonny]

I'm so up for taking elfman's spot, but I'm sure I won't be up for an early start on Sunday. Balls. :(

[N12 JLK]

It's not until 1 o'clock, but is that what you call an early start:confused:

[AeroJonny]

I'm going out for my birthday on Saturday night, it's more whether I can drive legally or not by the next lunchtime than getting up ;)

[ELFMAN]

AeroJonny - don't risk it mate, enjoy your birthday and have a lie in. Or you could drink less....... that'll be a lie in then, eh?

Come on folks! The deposit's paid - save yourself a fiver!!!
A Merry Christmas from the Elfman.

[AeroJonny]

I'm now on antibiotics and I'm not sure I'm even allowed to drink with them, so I thought I might even be able to go but...

Mum's invited the family over for a birthday meal on sunday afternoon now, so the door's slammed firmly shut now :(

[N12 JLK]

had a lovely lunch thanks Jason and I said it would be crap aswell.:rolleyes: . Craig your car is cracking I will have a wee look round and see what Cooper stuff I have should you fancy any of it.

However the day then quickly took a down turn after leaving you all:( :( got back to the house 4.30pm after a visit to Comet only to pull up in front of my E36 some rotten git has stolen both clear front indicator lenses and bulbs and bulb holders they were on the car before I left the house.

Why do people do this what is wrong with them going out and buying the stuff if they want it. Makes me so annoyed now my car is looking crap.

[N12 JLK]

Big Big thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who arranges events on the site must worry before, during and after if everyone enjoyed the event you put on but today I'm sure you all had a cracking time. Good thought put into the wee gift idea's.
Good display of clean pristine MINI's today. Why does Andy have to be last every time we go out on getting his meal:D . Thanks for Kerr's Christmas gift Lenore and Andy, we will give it to him on Christmas day, very thoughtful of you both to think of him:)
Cant wait till Crombers Christmas run now. See you all soon.
The Nicol Clan

[Craig]

Good Lunch had today. see Fiona isn't always right.. ;)

Fiona, thanks for the comments on the new car, looking forward to modding it. :D If you have any bits, that woudl be appreciated. :cool:

Feel really sorry for you, don't understand this type of scumbag. Any CCTV in the area? Still worth reporting it as there may be a pattern and they might find the little scrotum.:mad:

[ianking]

Good food, good banter, nice line up of minis in the car park.
:D :D :D

[AndyP & Lenore]

Aye, great afternoon. Good food and good company. We both had a good time.:D

Deffo the right purchase Mr D, car's looking very nice.:cool: ;)
