After the great run last year, do we fancy doing the same again?

Though I appreciate many will have family commitments.

Prob best to organise all arrangements off line?

Thanks

Martyn.

Driving on boxing day ? Surely not.

Boxing day is strictly for drinking & gambling with friends, hence the annual visit to Wetherby Racecourse.

and then flying out to Courchevel for a weeks skiing day after (if there's any snow)

Busted my leg at Courcheval 1850 last time I was there. Had to be rescued by the medics and taken down the mountain on a stretcher followed by 7 days in a French hospital.

You're keen Martyn!!!

I was talking to Jo about this a few weeks back and I would like to do a Christmas run sometime. However, for me anyway, it looks like I will be off on my jollies on Boxing Day. Likely candidate is Serre Chevalier for a week on the board. Last minute thingy if all goes well.

Would be happy to do another time if anyone has any ideas.

I seem to remember that the Sun was doing full lunches last year. Might be an idea so see if they take bookings.

I will have a word with Vicki and see if she fancies a run out with Gabby in the Saab, but at best it's only 50/50. She was singularly unimpressed last year when I buggered off for the day!

Excellent, thanks.

Meet 11am-ish, and go for a blast then stop for food somewhere?

Have a good weekend all.

Thanks

If the car's back, then I'll absolutely be there. Turns out Tesco messed up, though, and they've STILL not sent an engineer round to the bodyshop to OK the quote.
