I'm definitely in. Think we may need a recruitment campaign. I think Epykat and Scoop will be up for it.

What about PoP's 50th (ssshhhh) birthday, which is Friday Dec 22nd, we could drown our sorrows over Option A being the chosen one.

Don't think restaurant is open that day and I don't reckon Mrs PoP would allow him to come anyway. :(

She may. After all she is going to be spending the entire day with him a couple of days later.

Bearcub wants to also come along this time.

Late Jan/Early Feb would suit me best what with the elections looming :(
and a Friday is the only suitable day - hope this suits most people. Might be the last trip via me.

Friday 19 January would be good. I believe one or two of us have a birthday around that date.

If it's Feb, I'm interested, depending on available child care...

:shock: :shock: - I've only been gone for 5 minutes and I'm forgotten already........

Don't panic Sandra. If there's no room Scoop and I can meet up with you later - if only to tell you all how bad you were. I think Mr E might actually have banned me from any more 'lunches' after the last one. Then again. since when have I paid any attention to him :?
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

Hope for your sake there'll be other opportunities after the elections *fingers crossed*.

Have booked Friday 26th January at 12.30 for 10 people.

Hope this is suitable. Sorry it took me a bit of time to come back with a definite date.

BC is going to come along this time. :D

Can you let me know if you are a definite. Thanks.

Count me in, and Epy too, although it might be a bit difficult for Epy to get there on time. She could be fashionably late.
