That looks good mate ! 71 beds could be a good size as well

With luck we'll be able to fill it and have the best OD party yet !!!! It's got my vote. Do you want my deposite now lol

That must be near to ther 'White Peaks walk' that we did last december.
Sounds good to me TMiW<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Yes I think it is JW

Hey! I didn't say I'd do it <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /> Just that it could be a good option <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Do we have a particular date in mind? 1st or 8th of December?

Just did a quick on line availability check and the only dates available here are 23rd & 24th November or 30th November & 1st December and room only is Â&pound;23.40 a night for non members

Count me in! I assume its slightly less for members? <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Yep <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Eyam sleeps 60 and is currently available 7-9th December @ Â&pound;22.40 per night

just about Everything WT.Bring it on<img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

sounds and looks perfect - thanks TMIW, yeah bring it on and on.....

Thanks for that Catwalker. So if Ravenstor is the venue the dates would have to be 23rd & 24th November or 30th November & 1st December. Need to know which dates would be best so I can make an enquiry as soon as possible

Depending when it is, we'll be there but we're Christmasing it in Germany this year as we had an English Christmas last year <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />

It would be lovely to have you along P&L so lets hope so! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Hi MIW,would prefer 23/24 November,but 30th at a push as i have a holiday booked in the Lakes that week.<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

It looks great. We are not putting it on you Claudette as you have already done a couple this year, but have you done any enquiries on the catering and space for bopping after. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /> I'm up for either date as wouldn't miss it for the world.

I know Jo <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> I have made a general enquiry by email but no response yet. I'll chase it Thursday and keep everyone updated. Although I'm prepared to have a go at the organising someone else will have to think up some walks preferable and easy one and a hard one for each days - any volunteers??!! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

As there have been so few "I can't make dates" I'm erring on 30th November. I realise that's a little awkward for you Keith <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_unhappy.png' /> but hopefully no-one else.

Oh dear Christine and just when you were getting used to us!! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> I think any earlier and it wouldn't feel like Christmas and unfortunately any later means in 2013 - which I guess wouldn't be out of the question but we are all usually broke by then!!! <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_unhappy.png' />

OK so far 30th November is available and I have requested it. Good news is if we can't fill it 53 people will secure it for sole use. Food doesn't seem to be a problem just waiting to here on how much and there seems to be sufficient space for a bop. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> Bad news needs a Â&pound;15 per head deposit from 53 people by 26th May with the balance due by 26th September. Will post as an invite when I get the details on food cost. I have only requested a meal for the Saturday night so far

Have to join in with this one! Might get to put faces to all these names I see so often<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> So count me in which ever date you choose<img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

If and when there is enough interest Eddie. If I don't get 53 names by the time I get back from the South Downs weekend and their deposits in by 26th May then I'm not going to bother. I realise it's early to make commitments but it is necessary. I don't want myself or anyone else to loose money.

would be interested, will let you know, have to check shift times. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Lets get it on the invites page mate and see what the commitments like.
As I said over the weekend I'm keep to help out in any way I can

We can come on the 30th November <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Just waiting to hear what they can do foodwise Dave then I'll post it <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> Start thinking about walks then! <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Glad to hear it Paul & Linda

Hmmmmm.... back and to too the pub is no one on the list

30th is good for me. I'll give you the money when I see you if that isn't too late TMiW?<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Are the girls gonna outdo and outnumber the boys again??!!!!

Not a problem Milvus <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

sounds lovely TMiW ... another girl for the list <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

I can do any of those dates so please add me too. Only dates can't do in December are 7th, 8th n 9th.

I'm happy to help any way I can. Only a suggestion, but what about paying the deposits to YHA and save you a lot of work and confusion. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

MS - A man!!! So we didn't put you off last week then? <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /> Good man <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

I have asked if they can arrange a "disco" Jo and how much would it cost. If it's too expensive it would be great if you could burn some more CD's (and recycle some of the others)!

If the deposit comes to me then at least I can see if we definitely will hit the numbers necessary as people have backed out (with valid reasons) but not removed their names from previous invites which can lead to confusion. We're looking for approx. 20 more people than last year to make this viable - which is a lot!

Hi Claudette,there will be no shortage of walk ideas,fair wind or foul depends on Ian really.Once location is confirmed then we can hone in more details.I will try and alter holiday dates<img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

Hehe TMiW - nobody put me off coming again last weekend, on the contrary it proved to me that I should have come along months ago. You were all so welcoming. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Now in a battle with my diary to make space for more OD weekends. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Yeah! Glad to hear that Pete welcome to the mad house - long may it prosper!! <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Very encouraging Keith <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /> Oh I hope you can. Oh dear, I hope you don't feel we're putting on you Ian! <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /> Although we'd love your company again this year perhaps a darker suit/outfit would be easier on the eyes!! <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

here we go TMIW - huh, the day the girls outdo the boys is in your dreams kid or ma name's not Carpe D <img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' />

Are you harping on Jonathan? Or should I say carping on again?!! <img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' />

You may out do the girls in a bad sense Dear but not a good one! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

tres witty TMIW <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

<img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

It's now up as an invite so get your names down!! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Still got the disco disc's saved for some more bopping. I'm a definate for this one<img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

Bril Perhaps we can change the slow ones as I think some were too slow. Thinking caps on in the South Downs to come up with a new list perhaps?

OK Guys, up to almost 20 people. Need more to put their names down on the invite!!!

I wish! I don't intend securing places with my own money FL People are constantly changing their minds (which I have no problem with) but I don't want to be left out of pocket because of it. The deposit needs to be in ASAP Currently it is not going to be soley ours unless I get more deposits in before Monday

So long as it wasn't facebook lol they've dropped loads i don't find the time to go on as often as i used to lol No Love you keep your hands firmly on your purse strings so don't put it in your handbag because you always forget that !

Counting you in Jan (at least for saturday night) and several probables we are currently up to 34 people so get your deposits in ASAP and encourage others - 19 more and it's ours!!! <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

Lol sorrrrry to disappoint you Jan but i think the Christmas one maybe out aren't you coming to Malvern then???
I'm trying my best to make it Claudette<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />you are a bossy person you need to try to relax you'll find things less stressful and i'm not reffering to your handbag <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />lol

Bossy must be in my genes FL but some men like that!<img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' /<img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Not me Love sorry lol

Oh No! Strike 2!!! <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

I have to send deposits off for Christmas W/end no later than Friday and not everyone who has said they want to go have forwarded their deposits. I cannot guarantee places. Once I send in the deposits they will know I am unable to confirm 53 people and will therefore open the place up to anyone else who is interested in staying that weekend.
