Ok, Mondays would work for me, but Tuesdays and weekends would not (hockey). We have tried having a meeting in a pub in the past and it was not successful due to noise making it impossible to talk. Mrs. Riches is ok for reasonable food at reasonable cost. Some have been less then impressed with the lack of maintenance at that place over the years. If anyone is interested in better dining, I ALWAYS recommend The Bold Knight restaurant. More expensive but have never had a bad meal there. Much better then The Keg. Even the salads are good and you won't hear me say things like that too often...

Even the salads are good and you won't hear me say things like that too often... Only one problem with that, I just checked and the Bold Knight is closed on Mondays. So it looks like Wed or Thurs if you don't want the weekend. I can also endorse the Bold Knight. My wife, and mum and dad for that matter, all say the Bold Knight's steaks are the best around. It is a much quieter atmosphere than The Keg and it has better food. Not a TV screen in the joint either, which for people who actually like to carry on a conversation is a real plus. Mmmmmmmmmmm .... We're down, as long as it's licensed You driving instructors.... always so concerned about licenses! Plus you can walk home from there So will it be Wednesday(14th) or Thursday(15th) folks?? If decided, I will send out an email before this weekend so plans can be made.... ...

Maybe with time running short for people to plan, it should be the 21st? When I send out an email I will ask people to reply on this thread in hopes that a reservation number can be determined.

21st is school concert day. If we are having problems finding a date this side of the holidays, why not just do it afterwards. We're not exactly a conventional bunch anyway...

Since the holidays are so busy, perhaps then a dinner marking the beginning of the VW driving season with an accompanying cruise might be better than a Christmas Dinner as a general event?

We need to make a decision.
We're good for Wednesday this week if others are. If so, there'll be four of us. Who else would be coming? Are we doing this?

Just found out this Wednesday, Rebecca has a department dinner party at her work. So far it sounds like each day picked does not work for at least someone. Other then those of us who attend most of the meetings, nobody else has commented on this thread... except Wongai . Anyway maybe you guys are right and a start of the VW driving season would be better attended... I would like to get us altogether for a nice dinner, but given we all work at different times, this is proving difficult...

I agree, it is proving difficult. It is a crazy time of year with everyone's visiting/party schedules. A Dinner/Cruise in say, April(?), might be a better time to get everyone together to hopefully generate some enthusiasm for the upcoming VW events schedule.
