Well, yes, the shot count was back to par

Great evening, as always, 'til next time.

Great to see both old faces and new last night. Was there a final result for most popular chocolates - Ferraro Roche or Lindts? Also many thanks to teledude and MarkedMan for their generosity with the food. On to the next Do - perhaps some regional ones next year so anyone fancy organising a MAN/BHD/EDI/GLA/ABZ/INV Do? I will try and organise a Leeds one.

A great night - lovely to see faces both old (or not so old!) and new. Thanks Karfa for organising.

Thanks also (or not!) to those who organised the food and shots.

See some of you in HEL

A brilliant evening to catch up with everyone, and meet some new faces as well as old. A big thanks to teledude and karfa (and others) for organising. Really enjoyed myself and it's been the perfect pre-Christmas celebration.

These are the famous shots of Patrón... Thanks teledude for your generosity and conviviality! 😃👍🎉🎊🥂

It was indeed a very fun night... still feeling a bit peeky but not too bad! Thanks so much for organising and for the generosity with food and shots... Cafe Patron on offer at Majestic til 1st of Jan for anyone who's hooked!!

It's starting to feel a little bit like Xmas now!

Safe travels and happy festivities ...
