Will definitely try and get there this year.
Will make it part of an extended break with Mrs tbf-if I can persuade her to partake, would she be welcome at the social, otherwise she might have to spend money elsewhere.

Noted, hope to be there one way or the other.
There's been some refurbishment of the Penderel's Oak since last December, mainly centred on the toilets and the rear of the main bar, and there is more work planned judging by what the bar staff were saying when I was last in there earlier this month

If she's willing to put up with us lot talking trains, then I have no doubt that she will be welcome. We could always mix it up and talk about something else for a change, like monorails...

I won't be able to make it because of college commitments. I'm doing a night course in my university (as well as trying to get my PhD sorted out) and the department have decided to have the Christmas exam for the course on a Saturday and they picked the 9th as the exam day. The exam might be in the evening. Maybe some other year I might be able to make it to a social. Hope you all enjoy the day anyway 😄

Looking forward to it, although I have to stay sober enough to drive to Waltham Abbey that evening for a choral Christmas concert.

Unfortunately our planned pre-pub perambulation has been postponed, the forum staff are working on an alternate excursion for members; as soon as it is confirmed we will let everyone know. For the afternoon it'll be our usual haunt of The Penderel's Oak on High Holborn between Holborn and Chancery Lane stations.

There will be a bonus quiz. Like last Christmas it will be a crossword format (blame Chris W) if someone will be so kind as to print the pictures for me in a couple of days (it's not all finished yet) that would be appreciated.
