Note the Change in Date from that in the Handbook!

The pre-nosh entertainments will be:

"Avalanche Rescue Techniques and other Games......."

Pack your ice axe and crampons!

Ann Wooley-Waters and I (with help possibly from Heather, and maybe one other if anyone fancies giving a hand, maybe a mulled wine maker) are coordinating the Christmas bash this year.

We decided to make it a buffet style, at £6 a head, and we will provide soup and rolls for starters and green salad to go with main dishes. We are happy to make mulled wine but this may raise the price to £7. It is easiset done if people just bring wine for the pot, and someone brings fruit, perhaps.

We will otherwise need (all dishes big enough to serve 6 portions):

• 6 veggie dishes
• 4 meat dishes (assuming that there are not so many meat eaters, correct me if im wrong!)
• 6 puddings with whatever you wish them to be served with eg. cream, custard
• Someone to make mince pies for approx 30 people
• Someone to bring fruit for mulled wine
• Some entertainments for the interval whilst slavering and waiting for food
• Some help with table decorations or just decorations!
• ....and a partridge in a pear tree...!

Al has kindly offered to handle the money so if you know you want to come but don't wish to cook anything it would be very helpful to pay him in advance. If making a dish, if you can produce something for around £6 that makes life a whole lot easier!

So come along and enjoy the festivities, let's hope for some snow!!

Hope to see you there!
