We had a great leaving meal for Rick last night, stay tuned for the leaving drink, leaving baseball cap leaving T-shirt and leaving thong.

Just a reminder for those who wanted to go to the Birmingham Christmas meal (we are not having an official one but will probably meet up the pub sometime over Christmas)

So far I think we have

Hi guys,

seeing as several of you came along last year, and you're more than
welcome to join us this year, I thought I ought to plug this event here
too. At the moment I'm interested in getting numbers, so if you can just
let me know whether you are planning, or think you'll be there, I can
see whether we can book the room rather than just a table. Note that
partners are also welcome too.

The December Social
===================

After an enquiring Steve asked about our now traditional December social
on the list last month, all the regulars seemed to like the idea of a
really traditonal outing. As such we will be making our way to Harborne
for a traditional Christmas Menu.

The date to remember is ** WEDNESDAY, 12th DECEMBER 2007 ** . However,
the important bit is that we need to know numbers and get deposits from
everyone. To ensure we can book the room we need to get about 15-20
people along, so the earlier we know rough numbers the better. If anyone
can't make a decision just yet, please let me know as soon as you can,
so we can make sure we have enough places. We need a deposit of £5 from
everyone who wishes to attend, and this includes wives, girlfriends,
partners and even colleagues should they wish to attend. I will be
collecting during the next two meetings, so if you can pay ahead of
time, this would be very much appreciated.

Although the pub hasn't been booked yet, I expect most of us will
assemble about 7pm for a first drink (or two in), then sit for food at
around 8pm. If you think you might be a little late, you'll to let me
know so we can make sure you're accounted for and don't get a cold meal
:)


The Pub
=======

The New Inn
74 Vivian Rd, Harborne,
Birmingham
B17 0DJ
(0121 427 5062)

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=B17+0DJ&spn=0.005,0.02&hl=en

The pub is located not far from both Harborne High Street and Harborne
Park Road. On street parking around the pub and I believe along some of
the neighboring roads, for anyone travelling from out of town by car. If
you are travelling by train to New Street station, you will need to
catch a bus from Centennary Square to Harborne. Alighting by The
Junction pub and the large supermarket (it used to be a Safeways but
it's probably changed now) and walk along Vivian Road between the two,
the pub being a couple of minutes walk on the right hand side. If you
wanted to get a taxi from New Street, expect to pay around £5-£8.


The Menu
========

This year The Christmas Menu is £10.95 for three courses ( or £8.95 for
two )

The offering is:

Starters:
* Winter Veg Broth
* Prawn Cocktail
* Breaded Mushrooms
* Chicken Goujons

Main Courses:
* Escalope of Turkey with xmas trimmings & cranberry jous
* Braised Lamb Shank served with a rosemary & red wine jous
* Poached Fillet of Salmon served with wild Mushroom & onion confit with
* a white wine & dill sauce
* Vegetabe Wellington, served with a tomato provencale sauce

Desserts:
* Christmas Pudding served with Brandy Sauce
* Home made Apple Pie served with custard or vanilla ice cream
* Profiteroles, served with a warm chocolate sauce
* Ice cream, served with a wafer & topped with grated Chocolate

We will probably need to decided ahead of time what our orders will be,
so if you can at least let me have a provisional choice for starter,
main and dessert it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Barbie.
