Early as this may seem, venues are already being booked up for Christmas parties, so we have made inquiries for our famous Christmas Do. We have provisionally booked the Swan and Royal in Clitheroe, some of you MAY remember it from my wedding and it was an excellent venue and food. Final costings have not yet been made, but the owner has quoted considerably less for meal and disco than the £23 per head we paid at Holden Vale last year. The date is set for Friday 1st December as quite a few members later on in the month were attending works Christmas parties Accomodation is available in 3 local hotels just a couple of minutes walk from the venue and costs are far cheaper than HV. Please add your name to the list to attend the best bash of the year. NOW CONFIRMED DECEMBER 1st Let the fun begin. 1. Trev and Wendy PAID IN FULL MENU RECEIVED 2.

Ok guys, I'm gonna keep this thread tidy as well, as we could end up 15 pages long Just copy and paste the last post adding your details, once this has been seen for a day or two, I will delete it, leaving the up to date list in place :wink:
Hi, what time is the do supposed to be kicking off. just concerned we're not going to get there with it being a Friday night, Clitheroe is a fair drive & we'll both be working all day as wont have any holidays left to take :?:
Andrea Im going over in the next couple of weeks to sort the menu out and arrange times. I would have thought based on previous DOs we would eat around 8 - 8:30 but will know for sure once I have spoken to them.
Just a few posts up Trev will explain - I think for the guys who dont know Clithreoe, at the lads meet you indicated there are 2 "hostelries" fairly close to the do, but didnt give any names.. Which ones were you thinking off?
Sorry chaps, for some reason read everything else but missed Marcs post. Here are some idea's only a couple of minutes walk from the venue. Station Hotel 01200 443205 Old post house hotel 01200 422025 Victoria Hotel 01200 422601 The white lion hotel 01200 426955 The Swan Hotel 01200 822195 Not in any order of preference though a few have stopped at the station and said it was great.
Not that great though, would rather have stayed where Triple managed to get at the last minute :wink: John, PM me the name of that place mate :wink:
Just so everyone can gauge distances from the venue here is mapquest showing locations/streets etc. The venue is on Castle Street and here are the hotels with street names Station Hotel 01200 443205 King Street Old post house hotel 01200 422025 King Street Victoria Hotel 01200 422601 Market Place The white lion hotel 01200 426955 Market Place The Swan Hotel 01200 822195 King Street Hope this helps everyone
UPDATE Finally got all the bits and pieces sorted so here are all the details. Cost per head is £17.50. This includes the cost of the disco, very competative compared to £23 last year at Holden Vale. Ideally the meal needs to to be served at 8:00pm, but it can be put back to 8:30 for people travelling a distance so if needed we are still able to alter the 8:00 pm commencement over the next week or 2. Could I please ask for a £10 per head deposit to be paid either at Sundays meeting or at the latest on the Rolling Road day, where Chris Towers will take your money ( he dosen't know it yet ) as last year some people left it till the death. Below are the options for the menu, please pick one selection from each course for every one attending and email your choices directly to me at rb5wrc@aol.com so i can put your choices on to the master sheet. Starters Poached Salmon Terraine with Lemon & Dill or Prawn Cocktail or Home Made Soup Mains Traditional Roast Turkey or Lamb Henry or Fillet of Salmon Supreme marinated in a cranberry & Orange sauce. Sweets Christmas pudding with brandy sauce or Dark chocolate truffle or Hot Black cherries & ice cream Warm mince pie & coffee and mints Thanks Trev
