Yes, we're having one! Apologies for the very late organisation of this; hopefully your social calendars aren't completely booked up already! As is usual, we'll be meeting up at 2pm on December 9th, which is the second Saturday in December. For old times' sake, we'll be meeting up at the Penderels Oak in Holborn. It's pretty much equidistant between Holborn and Chancery Lane stations, so it's served by the Central and Picc lines. As it's currently up for sale, this might just be the last time we get to visit it in its current form. If you've never been here before, this is its page on the Wetherspoons website. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it! Extra information added 11:15am on Saturday 9thI'm afraid I am rather ill and tucked up in bed. So I'm not going to make this. Therefore, no forum phone. Have a great afternoon and I'll hopefully see some of you before too long! Extra information added 1:40pm on Saturday 9th by Chris MWe have table 10, which is at the back of the pub on the ground floor beyond the bar.

I won’t make this one. Will be in Paris for the day. My wife’s family are coming over this Saturday for 6 weeks. All 9 of them!

Sadly, I cannot join you, as I am out of London that weekend.

It’s my work do the evening before so I might be pushing it but I’ll see what can be done….

I'll say I won't be there, and then I might actually get there and not be struck down by illness or injury lol

Hope to be, depending where it is. Recall I was thwarted last year by line closures.

I've dodged all the colds this year, so will see some of you later in the Penderels Oak provided I can find people

Looks like I'm not making it. Decidedly under the weather and have spent the last two days in bed. I've updated the first post. Have a good time, all of you who are going!

I have just arrived and have claimed table 10. Walk past the bar towards the garden and you should see me.

Good few hours, even if numbers were thin on the ground. That said, staff in the Penderels Oak were clearly struggling, so perhaps just as well. As I said to Chris, not sure if this problem is particularly bad at the Penderels Oak, or Wetherspoons generally. If we end up at the Penderels Oak in future, we must also remember to bring additional layers in case we are sat under one of the cold air vents, which are very efficient.....perhaps a little too efficient on a day like today
