Christmas Lunch Mini Eats 2006 - 10th Dec

[ianking]

After some help and guidance from other NMS regulars I have decided to organise a Christmas lunch this year. Venue will be the Pirnhill inn, Stirling, same venue as the last 2 mini meats. :)

http://www.brewersfayre.host.goodtechnology.net/results.jsp?establishmentID=1646&qasSearchFileType=Brewers_Fayre

This will be on Sunday the 10th Dec. Table booked for 1pm so meet at the car park for 12.30 or earlier if you wish for some pre lunch banter and to drool over the motors. :p

As the Pirnhill is very busy this time of year we have to pay a non returnable deposit of £5 per head:(. Pennies can be given to me at the Manky Thrash or at Menzies launch night. Alternatively e-mail me and I will give you my address for sending a cheque.

It has been decided that there will be a secret santa lucky dip on the day with every attendee bringing a small gift to put in the lucky dip tub. Just to make things difficult there is a price limit of £1 on this. ;)

Any person who will not see me can send me an e-mail requesting my home address to send a cheque to
iansminiadventure@hotmail.com

Confirmed so far

1. Ian & Sarah (paid)
2. MarkyC (paid)
3. Fiona & Alan (paid)
4. Lesley & Jason & Kerr (paid)

Ian, we met briefly last night at Menzies. You asked me to confirm via the forum but I see there is an Andrew & Fiona on the list. Unless there are two couples with the same names I'll assume it's us! Looking forward to it.

[ianking]

OBN

[OBN]

Ian I know this is relatively short notice, but...

Is there any chance of adding a couple of kid's meals into the order?

My ex is wanting me to have the boys that Sunday (anything for a quite life)

Let me know, cheers

[ianking]

Im sure that would be OK. Do you want to send me a cheque over for the deposits. Its a set menu that day. Choice or about for diferent things for starter and 5 things for main and selection of sweets.

I must have passed you going the other way Fi....I was up in sunny Cromarty dropping some gear off...and was traveling back down to Fife from 5.40pm. In fact...I must have passed you earlier in the day..on the way up?

Funny thing was...I flashed at a MINI..and waved on the way up...and got a strange look

I forgot I wasn't in the MINI...I was in my flying Red Renault Master Van.

Cruise control set to 70...GPS Speed camera database running.
:evil:

It was a wild night...but high winds only gave problems about 20 miles from Perth.

Its a long road...and I have to do it again sometime this week to go and pick my gear up again... :(

But that's business....

wisnae in the Mini's at 5.40pm we would have been north or the House of Bruar.

it's not to long a road if you break it down.

Think first stint to Bruar. Then just after the drummochter then carrbridge then your just about home.
