Christmas 2013
by The Mind is WillingWell guys unless someone has a better offer I'm suggesting we have the OD party in Cheddar Gorge 29th-30th November 2013.
They have been back in touch with me but they can't give me much detail at present as they do not have a current Manager so hopefully in a week or so they'll fill me in.
Clearly an idea of numbers will be good as I hope we can secure it for ourselves but as usual that will depend on speed of our deposits.
Minty & Davem have promised to organise walks with options so those of us who are not so speedy can enjoy a slower pace <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
Be vocal now and let me know as soon as possible your intentions. I realise we're still in Februar

UJUltreia (Jo & Alan)OK guys, the dates are now 22/23 November because they are booked up on 30th and I need a deposit of £1 per person so I need a definite commitment by next friday (1st March).

lalandranger68Don't let their smutty little minds worry you Rourky - it's perfectly innocent and doesn't involve me so you can breathe a good old sigh of relief! Shame on you boys! I've been quiet because I've been busy.

Sorry Keith I wanted it to be 29th so posted the date then the YHA got back to me and said they couldn't do it so had to repost saying its 22nd & 23rd November.
on 27/02/13 @ 6:56Lovely Frankie & Spring looking forward to having you there! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
on 27/02/13 @ 6:56It seems so far up to 30 people are prepared to pledge £1 so far .It would be helpful if I can get between 40-45 then at least we'll secure enough places to accommodate last year's numbers. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Based on the interest on this forum and on those who have listed themselves on the invite I have request the YHA to set aside 40 beds as we seem to be 21 girls & 16 guys so far which means I have sent them a deposit of £40 (rounding it up). I will collect £1 from each of you as and when I see you or a bigger deposit as the time gets closer. Three of the delightful girls have paid me so far and I intend to collect as much as possible from MG's Easter w/end & Hillmale's Malham w/end as these are the next two events I will be attending.
Hi Claudette well done you for organising this. Can you place my name on the list. A time for a welcome walk with friends before the festive mayhem.
LwLesley willsCan u stick me on as well thanks claudette x
ADAlly & DaveAnd me please
ScScoutCan offer a lift to anyone from Liverpool or southwards from there - four spaces. Sick bag is mandatory and each seat is equipped with a handle in the event of sudden braking😀
Hi Girls. No problem. 🙂 The YHA is in the process of changing Managers so won't have any news until end of April. If things turn sour I would suggest going back to Last Years venue who were happy to have us back (believe it or not!). Please let me know if this does not sit well with anyone.
on 02/04/13 @ 6:46We'll find somewhere Minty have no fear! 🙂
on 02/04/13 @ 11:33With so many showing interest Miss Babs I'm sure someone could help you out. Keep an eye on the invite to see if any of those going live near you.
I'll come too. Count me in. x
