Ok then! We're nearly there... we've got a venue (the Classic Rock Bar)... we've got people interested (at least 15!)... all we need now is a day... Votes people please!!

Works night out on the 19th December so I voted 15th!

Can this be mod-ed so it sticks to the top of the list? Then I'll make the decision on thursday when people have had time to vote!!

Votes-wise it looks like the Friday's winning, 2 people have voted for it (one of whom was myself).

I'm not going to vote, I'm there every night.
Monday is my birthday and there's a fancy dress competition on.

FRIDAY would be best - as don't have work the next day.
Monday is ok tho too (just harder work at work next day)

I am not voting as I voted in the last poll to leave it until the New Year, too many Xmas party's already booked in, at least 5 including, Nottingham and London. My body cant take it anymore.

Oh oh first one this Thursday, so dont expect many posts on Friday, as its free drink all night.

Bah Humbug:thumbsup:

I'm going to my first one a week on Thursday.... then a Christmas Panto in Bridlington starring Sheffield's very own Albert Dingle aka Bobby Knutt!

I'm inclined to agree - but we need more votes people!!!

I will sticky it for now, but it may get un-stickied soon because I don't think Geoff is a fan of sticky topics.

Thanks Sidla! Don't want you to get in trouble though - I understand the wrath of geoff is to be feared! ;) :D

Bah Humbug:thumbsup: To much drink does have its good points then.:thumbsup:

We're talking about this in the chatroom right now.

Classic Rock, do you have any mistletoe in your bar? :thumbsup:

I voted to keep it on the Monday ... originally suggested by CR I believe.

Isn't it a bit rude to change it to another night?

It is CR's birthday that night, and they have been very good to us in the past.

It might be more inconvenient for them to do two loads of catering etc ... plus ... we'd be missing CR's birthday ...

I've got a work's Xmas do on the 18th and I'm seeing Good Charlotte in Manchester on the 19th. So I could only make Monday 15th. However, I've got my performance appraisal on the Tuesday at work. Could be heavy going after a late night!

So perhaps I could make the 15th and not stay late. (Yeah right, that's what I said for the first meet up and I stayed all night...).

It's looking like the majority are up for the friday night date, but there are equally some pretty good arguments for the monday. Perhaps the official party could be on the friday and we could just meet for some drinks on the monday, for those who can't make the Friday, and want to see Classic Rock for her birthday...

What do you reckon? Sound fair? :thumbsup:

I'd imagine there might be a few people (not me of course *cough*) who'd be up for meeting up more than once to celebrate Xmas..

Good plan sir :thumbsup:

So those of you who want to come along on the Monday and enjoy the fancy dress party, the live music and the catering can come on Monday.....those who want to get trollied for the weekend, come on the Friday (there won't be any catering on the Friday though).

You all just need to pick a time to meet at the bar, I'll be there anyway!!! Hic....

If anyone is hungry, Sass is cooking up Traditional Christmas Dinners over the Christmas period, three courses £10.

If you want to book for a Christmas meal, that can be arranged (48 hours notice needed). You KNOW his cooking is good. We are even open on Christmas Day for this, so if you can't be bothered to cook at home, we can cook for you! Food for thought......(get it?)....Food-for-thought.......

Lol! Old ones are still the best!! I may even turn up for both Monday and Friday. I'd suggest 7.30 as a good time to meet up on Friday, but the Monday crew may want something earlier if they've got work on tuesday!!:cool:

*cough*... just moving this back to the top for a while... :D

excellent. friday it is then. look forward to meeting you all. me n some mates are off the the classic rock bar tonite if anyone fancies it?

Whichever day, I'll be there.

I promise I won't miss this one :P

It'll be a double celebration too - this forum's a year old this month! :headbang: :headbang: :partyhat: :banana: :partyhat: :wow:

This is sounding like a good one! Has anyone invited Geoff? I feel he should be there, really. I owe him several pints at least!!! ;)

So will I!! Anyone else going to both? (I forgot to put that in the poll)

I will :D :D :D :D :D

Heh heh! I did kinda take that for granted classic! Will you still be drinking on friday from your birthday on monday though?! ;)

Oh yes! I'll probably work the bar at the same time too.......hic!

I shall expect to see at least ten of you at the 'bar tonight!!! Don't forget - fancy dress if you can make it!!! (I'm not though) - order of the evening:

1) turn up around 7.30 or 8pm
2) have a drink!
3) talk to some people
4) have a drink!
5) talk to some people
6) have a drink!
7) - 15) I forget what happens here but I think it involves drinking
16) realise it's time to go to work, turn up in fancy dress still...
17) fall asleep at desk...

It's my birthday!!!! Yipppeee! See you in the pub later!

Will be nice to see y'all in the flesh!
......not that I mean naked :P

I have sudenly caught a cold overnight, lempsip and booze may not be a good idea...........:loopy:

Hmmmmm lempsip and JD chasers........
.......might work! :D

cya 2nite!

As long as it's not in the same glass you'll be ok!!

brings a whole new meaning to mixing drinks!

:D

I'm getting REALLY excited.... don't forget the fancy dress outfits! Get changed at the pub if you're scared to walk down the road in them!

Hooray! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made it down yesterday! One down, one to go... Loved the costumes Classic Rock!! Hope you enjoyed your birthday party!!! All we've got to do now is stop JamieW posting those photos...!!:D ;)

Good to see everyone at CRB last night. There were some hugely surreal moments (Singing nun - Classic Rock, Singing Viking, bloke in miniskirt doing magic tricks). And it was good to see the Forum members too!

Jamie has posted here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5304) about publishing the photos he took. If you don't want to be famous take a look!

[bump]

Just a quick nudge to remind those who've forgotten or who haven't even noticed yet...

Tonight's the night (break into bad rod stewart impression) of the last xmas party!!! No work tomorrow, enough said!

:headbang:

I'll be there at about 8ish, anyone elseknow when they're arriving?

Closed the poll on this thread (it seems to have been decided!) and changed the thread title to advertise the event a little more.

Not sure if we will make it - Fuzzy is not too well.

Nomme

Should be there around the same time Danny boy... depends on how I get on with this bar job interview... (fingers crossed)

I didn't know it was happening but I may try and get a babysitter in and see if I can get down there!!

I'd offer seeing as I'm in the neighbourhood but I'm busy for some reason <G> :D

No babysitter - so I am stuck at home whilst you all enjoy yourselves *sniff*

Hope you had a good time!

Moon

Sorry I didnt turn up - went off to pub early afternoon with some peeps I work with. Only intended to go with them for a bit but got carried away and had far 2 much to go to CRB, let alone getting up in the morning for overtime on saturday [although having said that here I am awake at 4am instead of 5 due to alarm clock being set wrong !] Ooooh my head ! :cool:

Hope everyone had a good time and there are pics to tell the tale !

you guys missed a great night.

fewer people than I was expecting to turn up based on my last 2 visits.

busy time of year tho....

rtapper, missed you...

And Sidla?

Ying was meant to go also...

Moonmaiden, maybe can do a babysitting shift for you so you can do the visit.
