I know, I know, everyone is busy in the run-up to Christmas and I'm not even sure if we would still be able to book a table anywhere - but after chatting to Berin last night, I thought I'd still test the water:

Would you like to meet on Tuesday 20th December 2016 from 19.30 onward?

Once I have an idea how many of you would actually like to come, I will search for a suitable restaurant (first the usual suspects: King Billy, Red Lion, maybe the Chequers again).

Let me know! :)

Cheers,
Ela
 
I'll say yes but am sure I'm doing something that evening, can't remember what though?

Work Christmas Do? Test packing for Cambodia? Rearranging your socks drawer? ;)
 
Test packing today, works Xmas dinner last Friday, my socks are always arranged......
 
Thanks for your replies! I've managed to get a table for us next Tuesday 7.30pm at the Red Lion in Brightwell cum Sotwell.

The lady has asked us if we could kindly pre-order our food - so could you please have a look at their Christmas menu and let me know what you would like to eat by Sunday evening? Cheers!
