Christmas Party 2017 - Saturday 9th December - that's TODAY!

Are these useful? Liqueurs left over from an event, I think you mix them with cava, prosecco, etc.

@members it’s party time…

And today’s making challenge is to make the party happen.

We need a few members to get down this afternoon and clear/clean/plan– including fitting a couple more lamps in the estate floodlights…

Bring:

  • youself, your family, your friends, your offspring…their friends.
  • food (see below)
  • drink (see below)
  • a decoration for the space, or something to ‘show and tell’

Things to thing about:

  • Food – bring enough to share

  • last year @Ana_Nieto cooked a superb paella on the oil drum – anyone up for something like this?

  • Games & Activities – wire game will be around later, I’ll bring scalextrix

  • @KylieJudd is lasering decorations, and we’ll have a craft table set up: you can make a decoration and decorate the Space with it straight away.

  • would be excellent to have some other activities/demos going on for anyone who drops by. Thoughts? We’ll need to buy some spirits/mixers for it…and test it fully…

  • Drinks – Lucas’ ‘son of Inebriator’ will be there: drinks ordered via website…create you own cocktail! Of course Canopy will be open – I’ve asked about a Makerspace discount. and we’ll pick up some soft drinks too

  • Music – we have a system in the space an an offer of one that looks like it will rattle the trains above us. Bring some music though!

  • Decorations and lighting – the space will slowly get decorated during the evening by members. Not sure how much craft stuff we have – a trip to Poundland might be in order? We can mess around with some LEDs too. Plus we can use the projector for added atmosphere.

  • I’m bringing the huge gazebo – I’ve warned the mechanics that we need space around our garden to set it up.

I’m aiming for 2pm…

EDIT: we’ve pitched the party as starting at 5pm as a family friendly/less alcohol start. In reality it all starts when we’re there…

Will there be a gas ring for cooking outside there? If so, I will bring ingredients and other equipment for stir fry. Also, does anyone have a rice cooker they can bring?

A bit later than 2, leaving now. Sorry!

We only have the electric ring…and a BBQ I think

Me too. Be there 2:35 ish

Hey Guys

I’m not a member yet, but would like to get to know as many of you as possible, if there aren’t any objections, as it says family/friends can come along, may I invite myself lol? @Dermot is that okay with you and I’ll be sure to bring some food if so. I won’t be offended if not.

Thanks
Sam

I’m so sorry I missed this guys and I also completely failed on my secret Santa.

No worries at all. Hope you feel better soon.

@beth this was an epic fail from me, sorry. School Christmas fair took over all the space in my brain and I totally forgot about secret Santa. You will get your present before the 25th I promise! xx
