Seeing that menu almost makes me wish I still lived in the UK and could come along. Mind you after 10 mins in the traffic in the UK the wish soon goes. Hope you all have a great evening.

[555_Si]

Thanks Terry, would be good to see you again sometime.

Sorry to those so far that can't make it, you will be missed, hopefully next one we can organise a bit better in advance.

Great to see those that can make it, hopefully a few more names will start to get added to the list, as a few regulars are yet to respond!!!

[Steve_PPP]

Wish i could make it, but as you know I managed to double book myself... already had tickets to Man U v Brighton at Old Trafford that day and staying the Saturday night up there with some friends.

If by some crazy reason, away fans get banned from footy matches under some covid related changes, then I'll be able to make it...

[555_Si]

Anyone else interested? As if not i will downsize our predicted turn out with the venue.

[HYDROSCOBY]

I'm just waiting to find out if Kate is working that day. If not then we will come

[555_Si]

Cheers Dean.

[555_Si]

Leighton & Jason - Can i have your deposits and menu order please, as i need to get these in by Monday morning.

Thank you.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

After careful consideration and consulting with the venue, it is with regret that I have decided to postpone the SES Christmas dinner until after Xmas, depending on Covid announcements.

With little take up initially and the substantial increase in risk, I feel this is the correct decision to make.

I apologise to those that were still planning on attending, i will arrange for refunds of deposits to be returned as soon as possible.

In the meantime, i hope you all have a good festive period, and may many car parts be under the tree.

Regards

Simon on behalf of SES Admins.

[Leight]

That's OK we understand with everything going on.... hopefully we can all meet up soon it's been way to long.

[Frenchie]

As Leight said it's been way to long since a proper meet. 100% the right decision to cancel,too risky at the moment. Situation will improve and hopefully a meet and meal in the Spring. I'll be there. A very joyeuse Noël to everyone.

So yeah... that kinda happened. Game postponed because of covid in the Man U squad, so i could have made it after all!

Oh well

[555_Si]

Never mind, we will meet in new year when safe to do so, it’s been so long i forgotten what everyone looks like!

[Frenchie]

I'll have a pink carnation in my button hole.
