City Boys...Gentlemen Start Your Engines...

OK, so we have now arrived at d-day...yes you now have to make a decision about what you want to eat in a month's time.  Truth is that I could leave it a couple of weeks, but it makes no difference - you still won't have a clue - so just do it now. 

The menu is attached.

Clearly those who are not coming don't need to choose a meal, however if you would like to we will send you a picture of what you would have eaten if you could have made it.  We may also send you a commemorative soiled napkin stained with the food of your choice. 

The current state of play (as far as I am aware - and let me know if I am wrong!):
Barrie Moore    Yes
Bruce Wheeler    No
Chris McColl    Probably
Darrell Mercer    Yes
Dave Littler    Yes
Dave Llewellyn    No 
Dave Nisbet    Unlikely
Hugh Gardner    Yes
James Audsley    Unlikely
John Daly    Yes
Jonathan Brown    Yes
Jonathan Short    Yes
Marc Chaumeton    Unlikely
Mark Cole    Yes
Mark Davies    Probably 
Mark Hancock    No
Neil Cracknell    Unlikely
Nick Palmer    Yes
Nigel Felton    Yes
Paul Deane    Yes
Richard Heslop    Yes
Rupert Hunter    Yes
Steve Gray    Yes
Steven Carr    Yes
Vaughn Wheeler    Yes 

You are indeed a venerable bunch and I look forward to an afternoon of fun and frolics.

...destiny awaits

Gentlemen

In little more than a month it will be upon us.  That wonderful moment when you realise that another year has slipped by, and you haven't spoken to each other for 12 months.

Just a reminder, my sock drawer is tidy, we're in flannelette at this time of year and the venue is the G&V.  Our date is Thursday the 13th, and the robust and varied menu will be released shortly. 

To date we have had one faller (Herbie - off skiing, Aviemore I think) and one that's limping a little (Crackers, some feeble excuse about a 5,500 mile commute).  We also have a few people that haven't answered yet (of course some of them will have told me verbally, but at my age that's a little naive): 

Bruce Wheeler
Dave Llewellyn
David Nisbet
James Audsley
John Daly
Marc Chaumeton
Mark Davies
Steve Gray
Steven Carr

Gents - if you can hear me give us a sign!  I need to give Georges our numbers. 

Anyway - expect to have to do the difficult job soon, and pick your meal.

Loads of love

Potter/Dolly/Nick
