So a few folk have already asked what the plans are for those unable to get to the UKCM Southern Xmas Party... Simple answer is, no plans yet!
Lorelei is looking into flights, and I'd like whatever we do to include her, obviously, so who would be up for something between December 28th and 30th?
Dinner someplace delicious? Could maybe see what Geek Retreat in Glasgow have planned for the festive season, too... Any other suggestions?

How about something between Dec 30th and Jan 1st? Or is that not festive enough?

The main problem with that would be train/plane schedules and prices I guess.

LOL - Hogmanay is a thing all on it's own... As ever, anyone who wants to come over to my place for THAT shindig is more than welcome!

Exeter airport is only 5 mins from the Golden Pond.. and you guys must be racking up the Airmiles
I would come up north but the combination of Braveheart, Doomsday and the Proclaimers has put me off, as well as my allergic reaction to polar bears and Lulu.

Tentatively I'll be arriving on the 28th or 29th, so if it happens to be on whatever day I arrive, apologies if I fall asleep at the shindig or if I'm extremely loopy.

Loopy? would anyone in the UKCM notice as thats the normal state of mind

I'll likely be working the 30th and 31st.
My only day off after Christmas I can guarantee will be new years day.

But I cannot apply, thus cannot confirm, festive holidays yet. They are locked out until upper management sees fit to release them.

One thing I can say is I have family gathering for Christmas, so I'll be aiming for the week the 24th and 25th fall on for holidays.
Company policy does not allow anyone to have Christmas and New Year weeks off. You can one or the other, not both. (And no, taking only a day or so either side isn't allowed either. Tried that).

In short, I'm 80% sure I'm gonna miss it again.

Part 2 of the hobbit might still be in imax

So anyone had any thoughts where to go yet

If I were going, I would have suggested Kubla Khans for the meal. Outstanding place.

What place is Khan's? I don't think we went there, unless that's the Brazilian steakhouse

Mongolian BBQ

Sadly, no. But I see what you're getting at.
Remember though, with the tentative dates, I can't make this.

So even if I did have a TWOK costume.... bummer
