The FINAL bmi FT Christmas Drinks 'do' - MANCHESTER - Thu 20 Dec 2012
Well in true democratic fashion, the poll results are in and Thursday 20th December appears to be the date of choice. This means that it will be the last of Xmas dos, so hopefully some of you will be sober enough (initially) to attend.
Getting a venue where we could guarantee some seating and the option for food as well as drink, but without paying a deposit on one of the main Christmas party nights was proving to be a bit of a challenge. I have managed to get a venue that does exactly that though, so we shall meeting up at Dukes 92, which is a very pleasant bar and restaurant by the canal in the Castlefield part of Manchester.
Website: http://www.dukes92.com/
Location: http://www.dukes92.com/find-us.php
The venue is a couple of minutes walk from Deansgate railway station, Deansgate Castlefield Metrolink station and the Hilton hotel at the bottom of Deansgate. If anyone needs directions from other parts of the city centre, then just let me know.
We have a table area tucked away in a corner reserved from 6:30pm for us. We can get drink as well as food from their bar menu for those who are peckish. If people want to move on elsewhere later in the evening, then we can do that if people wish.
Can people please confirm if they can attend, or if they are possibilities so we can start to get an idea on numbers? Hopefully we will be able to have delightfully sophisted northern evening.
It is the last bmi FT Christmas do of the 3 set-up, so a good chance to saw farewell and raise a toast to old friends, cheese toasties, Donnington Hall and the ICC. Sadly Dennis won't be in attendance...

The FINAL bmi FT 'do' - MANCHESTER (Date TBC)
As soon as we have a date result for the London Do, to avoid duplication, RAPC will then announce details of the best FT Do ever organised.
Honest, it will have loads of free stuff. And lots of tickets and upgrade vouchers. Perhaps even nudity. And it will be alcohol fuelled.
I'll unlock the thread when there's a date and he can dig himself out of the hole I've just dug him.

Been waiting for the London do to be confirmed, so now we've got that date we can plan away.
What's the preference then for Manchester? During the week, Friday or Saturday night?

I have added a multiple-selection poll to the top of this thread for you to indicate all the dates that you can make.
It will also allow RAPC to organise the prizes for the draw, put down a deposit for the chorus line and prepare the intravenous drips (for the WKD).
