Planning ahead - C*******s lunch in Edinburgh

Any day good for me Elegran.

Count me in Elegran! Can't manage between 25/11 and 4/12 (panto week) but no other definite commitments at the moment.

Thanks, JA and Katek That's three of us - is that a quorum?

Tuesdays are definitely out for me but I'd try to make any other day. So far no plans for December. ?

Yes please - I'm free!

Me too! We had a C******s lunch there last year and it was vg. I probably can't do Thursdays.

Me please, try not to be ill this time! Away from 21 Nov till Dec 4 x

I will try again, and hope nothing gets in my way. Any day will do except the 19th, 20th and 21st.

Could be 8, then, that is good. I feel a spreadsheet of dates coming on - or at least a calendar page printed up at A4 and a marker pen. I'll include Novenber too as December could be out for some.

We're spending as much time in Northumberland as possible these days so, when you get a definite date maybe you could slot me in .

Keep watching this space, Tegan! There should be enough responses in the next week or so to get an estimate of which days are possible.

Anyone else?

Please put me down for a night out in December and I'll be there as long as I haven't a work assignment. I'll let you know once a date has been agreed. Thanks once again Elegran you're a star.

I've just seen this. I really should log in more often
If I'm here, I'd love to meet up. So please count me in.
Thanks for doing this, Elegran

As a "habitual offender" you would have received a reminder eventually, *GeminiJen"! Are there any days to cross out for you?

Put me down as a possible..... Move on the cards and family arriving from Oz on 17th
December. Everything a bit up in the air........

Hope you will be there, Marmight

Count me in please. Any day is fine at the moment. Thanks for getting us organised again!

Thank you Elegran, I would love to join you. Any day okay just now.

Elegran...Mea culpa.
