Miles , yes we are still coming, just not overnight as we live locally.

Nice one Dave, we need a few QPs out there. And in any case Dave, didn't you organise Silverstone? We wouldn't have let you off organising it and then not show up!

I didn't have my QP out last xmas (as I rode in Aj's GTS instead) but she'll be there for this one. I think Paul (aka 'maserati') also has a QP so hopefully there will be at least 3 QPs out this time. All we need now is Enz to bring Emma out for one last run before she goes. And what about Michael? Come on the QP owners, we need a few to represent!

 

[dem maser]

How many 3200 owners are coming??

 

[hodroyd]

We will have to cross Nikos off...pity..!! There should be a few 3200's turning up, our will be staying at home though..!!

Hi All, as per my post above, I think we're there on the food choices, which I'll phone through at the weekend.

Consensus is that we each pay on the night, so food (as your choices above) plus drinks and a tip.

There's quite a few of us, so please accept that settling the bill will be a lengthy job.

Just so you're all aware and don't think there's jiggery pokery going on, I have paid a deposit of £400.00 based on £10.00 per head assuming 40 diners. I will be getting this back on the night, so there will be some adjustments being made, and possibly a load of cash going (back) in my wallet.

Thanks all. Looking forward to a splendid Christmas gathering. I hope the weather is with us!

Regards, Miles.

 

[dem maser]

Is that best Miles? Shall we not pay for individual food and split the tips? Some drink less than others....

 

[Emtee]

Sorry Dem, to clarify.. we each pay for our own food, our own drinks and what we each feel is a fair tip.

I have to ask everyone to keep a tab on their own running bill and settle up accordingly.

 

[dem maser]

Oh right, thats fair.....

 

[hodroyd]

Plus your tip of £400 Miles...!!! Oh no sorry, we knock £10 per head off our meal bill as you have already given us all your Xmas box, Thanks Miles , much appreciated..!!!
