Toyota MR2 Mk1 Club AGM 2015 / Christmas Party - ** POSTPONED UNTIL SUMMER 2016 **

Just got an email from Donington saying 'Celebrate in Style this Christmas'...£65 a head though!!!! :/

Ouch, yeh. I was thinking we'd sort out accommodation and the meal separately. Some places charge a fortune around Christmas!

Way Back in late 90's early 2000's the club had a couple of Christmas parties at the Mickleover Hotel near Derby. They went down very well and we had our AGM on Saturday afternoon followed by dinner bed and breakfast. A quick telephone call to this hotel confirmed that most events of this type had been booked in early spring and so the only Saturday dates available were in October or January following Christmas. This could apply to most hotels but I for one wouldn't mind having a Christmas party in January when the total cost should be quite a bit cheaper.

Cheers for the feedback Stuart.

I had already looked at the Mickleover, as it's a nice location and the facilities, food etc. were always good. The evening meal and disco package is a bit pricey @ £40 per head though, hence why I was thinking to just organise the meal independently.

All suggestions welcome though!

I'll be looking at this, amongst other things, now I'm back from holiday.

Cheers,
Tom

Kelham Island for a few drinks, 7 Spices Balti for a meal, dance on tables. Simples eek!

Keep the ideas coming.

Hi all,

I've added a poll to the thread to gauge which date would be best for people.

You can select all the dates that are most convenient for you. The poll will run for 30 days.

Cheers,
Tom

[tommundy]

Two dates are taking the lead!

Just over a week left for the poll to run, so if you're interested in coming, don't forget to mark your preferred dates.

[tommundy]

Right, the results are in!

5th December it is! Get it in your calendars and watch this space.

I'll look into a venue and post up some more information with regards to any costs etc. shortly.

Cheers,
Tom

Great. I'll be there, although almost definitely NOT in an MR2 at that time of year!
