shall I just chuck a date in the mix so people can see if they can get it confirmed? I doubt the meal will be of a christmas theme however, what with it being a post-event but any meal is good eh? Could probably get away with booking a week in advance then too, there shouldn't be as much of a rush on then. Also means theres a nice gap between the Boozefest in Manchester and the meal, spreads it out a bit
How are people for say....the 28th?
