Good question... isn't it the weekend before the weekend before Crimbo? One weekend before it feels a bit stressy...

I was thinking about this the other day but didn't get beyond it. It has varied year to year, so does anyone have a preference?

Voting for 10/11th please, mainly to prevent Mrs P shouting at me for not 'helping' nearer the (admittedly minimal) festivities. Makes it easier to book a boozer as well if that's what people go for. Also a bigger gap before the Winter Event (6th/7th?). Ooh sorry, being a bit forceful today :smile: .

I'll start turning random thoughts into some type of plan and start a WWB thread. I will say, expect to be north of the Towers this year.

Obviously, anyone wanting to plan something for other regions, then do carry on. :-bd

Both equally appealing for a those reasons, and I'm havering :wink: . Although the cave was the first offer, and obviously it's impossible for Reg to turn a quarry down :smile:

Do you mean 'a cave, woman'? Or are you implying Verena will become a cavewoman? :grin:
