Hello all,
I think there are a handful of us left slogging it out in London so are meeting up for a chat, mince pies and hopefully something cheeky and alcoholic!
Obviously if you don't fancy this or are trawling the shops in search of last minute gifts there is no pressure!
...also, Ken is complaining about being sad and lonely, could he come along? And Ffion, would Patrick be sad and lonely and would he like to come along?
For those not at practice yesterday I have started investigating accommodation for Manchester- I will give updates once I have more info, atm the hostels seem the cheapest option by far- Hannorah is asking her sister in case she has any ideas being more Manchester savvy than me!The plan is to subsidise this so that everyone only has to pay half of what is owed, looking at around £30 per personISH. I'm enquiring re. prices so it is all rather subject to change. As always if that is too much just get in touch with Sue and we can see what we can offer.
Travel to and from is my next on agenda, if you are driving/driving and able to take others please let me know, Hannah is seeing what help Martin can offer for trains in case he can work any magic searching skills and find us a cheaper way of getting there. In the new year please come to practice with an idea of if you are leaving after work or earlier in the day, if we book group travel we need a minimum of three people travelling together at all times.
Lots of us on the crawl so see you then!
If not have a wonderful Christmas and New Year - I will endeavor not to bother you again until the 4th January.

Hi guys,
So sorry I can't make it tonight, I have managed to catch another cold (stupid boyfriend).
Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year!!

Amazing! Well done everyone :-) a very rocky start but just shows what a bit of determination achieves.
Think sue has some good points to consider re. Points for the new year.
In the mean time I'll see some of you tomorrow. Can people bring festive treat and any cheeky booze treats you fancy? Believe Katherine is providing plastic cups!

Laura S £105Ffion £111.11Sue £120Dan £135Becky £145Laura W £150Rachel £180Hannah £187
We made £200.16 😊😊😊😊😊
Mostly, I think, in the last 3 pubs.
Which begs the questions: is it worth trying (and risk failing) to start at 7.30 in Islington?is there an ideal start time in each individual area we visit?did it make a difference collecting for a charity?
The first pub was very busy at 7pm but by the time we started dancing at 8, many of the punters had left. The pubs were full again by 10pm and the punters' generosity greatly increased. A bit of a dilemma really, because not all of us want to have a late night on a Thursday. I didn't get home until 12.40 as it was.
Could someone please put the amount on Twitter/Facebook if possible? I rashly promised some of the punters that we would publish the amount.
Anyway, well done everyone, including our loyal supporters! It looks as if we can send a nice round £200 to St Mungo's, if everyone agrees that is appropriate. We could also afford to donate a little more if we choose, but that isn't my decision to make. We currently have £1450+ in the bank, including Thursday's collection, but we have DERT accommodation to think about and £35 due to Open Morris next month.
Wishing you all a lovely relaxing break and lots of fun times to come in 2016.
