Pre-Christmas, Pre-Cologne get together!hi all,
whilst partaking in an odd cup of tea or two at the Heron summer social at the weekend, Princess Fiona and Emface came up with the idea of having a Pre-Christmas get together for the Colognites??? Big Ted and I thought it sounded pretty damn fine as a plan.... anyone else game?
It would probs be in Zummerzet as we are inbetween Portsmouth and Cornwall (GCSE geography served me well!). We will try and get everyone accom at Heron to keep costs down and organise a nice meal out somewhere for everyone on a Saturday night, either last one in November or first one in December..
can you let us know if
a) you think it's a good idea and want to come..
b) preferred date, check gigs etc with your bandy / pipe majorman please
c) err... can't think of a c!

When you say Colognites do you mean:
a: People of Germanic extraction living in the locale of Köln, Deutschland?
b: Members of the RNVB who regularly travel to the aforementioned city situated on the banks of the river Rhine?
c: Both of the above?

In case anyone is interested and is off to the Cologne Christmas markets, might be good to book this weekend:

Bob could be both! And was thinking that this shouldn't be just for Colognites but anyone that wants to come. Just think of it as Band camp but in the winter and in England wearing party hats!!!!

Oh and after speaking with the lovely Mrs Bb the last Sat in Nov would be good as it should not coincide with any other party. Plus I have a lot of stamps to lick in December as does Mr BB!!!!

Hello guys

Im sure I could talk the likely suspects into it.
Date also sounds good to me.
|
Princess Fiona

Hi all, now we're back at band after summer leave I'm going to start sorting this properly.
I'm going to look at venue and then accomodation. I'm not sure if we'll be able to get everyone onto Heron but I'll try. Once I've got prices I'll need to know numbers so please can you ask about in your bands and see who's interested.
The date is Nov 28th. Fingers crossed there are no gigs put in.

Oh bum. That's the same weekend as the Horndean Band Christmas Social. Maybe you could all come to that instead?
|

Has anything actually been arranged yet that we need to definitely say yes or no to?
Cheers

Princess Fiona is in charge... there was question about it moving to the weekend before ie the w/e of the 21st to co-ordinate with a big gig Heron has, but I've not heard any more..
contact the Princess via here or facebook I guess, I'll be up a mountain a few thousand miles away I'm afraid!

and if its the weekend of the 21st I'm in Edinburgh!! for a boys rugby weekend!! Sorry

Hello all. I'm now waving the white flag of surrender!!!!
Did look at moving to weekend before with a view to also doing a gig with us ( half time at a Yeovil v Charlton athletic game ) however now cancelled.
Secondly I can not get accomodation for anyone on the base so it means hotels and as there's only 3 or 4 people interested here it doesn't make a lot of sense to have locally.
So it seems the majority of people that would like to get together are from Portsmouth area. Would it then be better to look at doing something there instead or would people rather abandon the idea??

Personally I don't mind, whatever everyone else wants to do really
