It has been brought to my attention (Katek nudged me) that if we want to meet up for a Christmas December lunch, we need to start booking somewhere soon - before all the works outings fill up the restaurants.

If anyone is interested, could you do as we have done before - let me know the days when you CAN'T come, and I will juggle dates around to try to find one that suits everyone - or suits as many as possible - and get an estimate of numbers. The numbers will fluctuate wildly between now and then, of course.

I think the ROSL would be a good venue - do you agree? Central, easy to get to, and they usually do us well.

" Happy Christmas' to everyone Have a lovely time. Very sorry to have missed it.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone again, but sorry that there are those who can't manage to get there this time. Maybe in the Spring? It's nice to have something like an Edinburgh meet up to look forward to. smile

Have a good time everyone. Maybe I'll make it again one of these days. ?

Thanks for organising the meal and meetup at the ROSL, Elegran. Lovely to meet the Edinburgh Grans again and enjoy a very tasty meal.
See you in January, perhaps?

Elegran Mon 05-Dec-16 17:18:19

Lovely to meet up again! At the last minute Katek couldn't come, she has laryngitis (too much shouting "It's behind you!?) which we hope gets better after some hot drinks and resting her throat.
