Saturdays would prob be better for me but getting a spot in the 44 that close to Christmas on a sat night might be a bit hard.
Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: Cahalbrua on November 13, 2014, 07:13:02 PM
If its on a friday i shoud be able to make it in late for an hour or 2 but not for food. don't think we'll get away with bring in samples but no harm in running it by Brian will. just tell him it was ok in the old Boro with jason last year.. ;)
Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: Will_D on November 13, 2014, 08:49:34 PM
Was talking to the Boss in the 44. Saturday is good for him as well! So should we think about the 13th?

I can always change the poll. Surprised not many votes or postings!

OK so the 6th it is.

Will check with the 44 today and book it.

Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: Will_D on November 17, 2014, 04:31:43 PM
Update:

Called in today, no manager but got to look at the bookings book. Not suire if they can fit us in a the 6th. Will meet bossman tomorrow.

If the 6th is a nogo should we aim for the 13th (also a Saturday)??

Please let me know quickly what your views are!

Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: Partridge9 on November 17, 2014, 08:16:34 PM
ah Christ are we overlapping with a Beoir gig..

we are getting no luck !
Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: nigel_c on November 17, 2014, 08:19:49 PM
Looking more like the 6th so. Wanted to get in to the Beoir do as well.
Title: Re: Xmas Party
Post by: Will_D on November 18, 2014, 01:38:07 PM
So we are booked in and confirmed for Saturday the 6th Dec from 7:30.
We have the snug to ourselves.

The cost of the finger food will be of the order of €15 a head but the club kitty should be able to pay 2/3rds of the cost leaving a shortfall of about €5 a head. I will try to get a similar spread to last year!

I would like to invite Mr & Mrs Ciderhead as this years guests of honour in recompense for all the work he puts into the club (to say nowt about Diesel)

So lets start a list:

1.  Will_D and Una

Not really. Time to put some money back into our hosts pocket. Well, maybe something special if you had it  ;) . Last year we had a few special occasion brews both our own and commercial but the majority was bought. Sure there's loads to choose from in the 44.

Hows about a prize of a competition-brewing workshop for 2 with maltcracker and maltcrackerinn at maltcracker brewery for a whole day inc food drink and digs if required timed just nicely to get some entries brewed for nationals 2015. While we appreciate many ncb members are great brewers our attitude is 'theres always more to learn' and new tricks to improve and myths to break.
We wud love to offer the above to acknowledge the significant ncb  efforts for little steps for kate.
