It's Christmas time - there's no need to be afraid
Thursday, October 13, 2005
Believe it or not, there are only a possible eleven games left this season. That also means that it's time to start thinking about the "annual Fitbaw Xmas Night Oot!".
Last year seemed to be a great success - we went to the pub after work, ate cheapo pub grab so that the kitty would go further and drank some pints. Nice and simple. I would like to propose that we just do the same again. It could be a different venue if you like. Any suggestions are welcome - just leave them in the comments.
Last year is was a Tuesday which wasn't ideal so the plan is to have it on a Friday this year so we don't all have to go to work with a hang over. In fact, the ideal date would be the 9th December - it's a Friday, it's in December but it's not too close to Xmas and all the nights out that go with it.
Now, who will be attending? I'd like to say, if you've played, then you can come, but realistically, I don't imagine that all our reserves will turn up so I'm only going to say to the SEPA boys and Ponto. Tom, of course will be getting invited too but he'll be too busy with his merchant banking to make it I presume.
Now we come to the kitty. Everyone has contributed different amounts and blah, blah, blah. I would ask that if the reserve guys are coming then they make a wee extra contribution to the kitty. It's all going to get spent on us anyway so it doesn't seem too much to ask. I hope that's OK with everyone.
There may even be awards again this year - you'll just have to wait!
So there we go. Thoughts? Comments? Ideas? Complaints? Leave them all in the comments section please so everyone can see.

sounds all good!
wasnt last year.. hogs head - counting house - franeksteins?
seemed to work well - lots of cheap booze in the wither'dspoons
trying to split a bill between 17 people doesn't seem like the best plan. Just take it out the kitty - it's all the same really.
If you don't attend, then there's no award Tam! Sorry!
There might be a game over the Xmas period if you think you can still take it!
