As Mark has pointed out, we're a bit short of meetings - the regular 2nd Thursday meet in Norwich seems to be the only regular event.
So, does anyone fancy a Christmas meal? I'm in Norwich, but am happy to travel and would consider driving (and thus being able to give a few lifts) if we could find a location that would help enable more people to come.

I'll go along with that. Also happy to drive with space for 2/3 passengers.

Yup, sounds good. Do we want to have the Christmas meal in November or January to avoid the big Christmas rush? Anyone able to suggest good places to eat and have a few drinks? also anyone able to give a good price range for what we poor Aluggers can afford?

Well, it's tricky for anyone to answer that. Also, there are a lot of "anyone ..." questions, which often seems to get a low response.
Shall we ask the Canary and Linnet at Little Fransham? How do people feel about that location, halfway between Norwich and Lynn on A47? Is it OK for most of Norfolk? Should we stick to the big places instead? I'm not really sure where's good for Christmas meals.
I'm quite happy with the meal not being in December.

Yes I'd be interested.
We've been talking about something similar at work and settled for a trip to the Riverbank Chinese Restaurant at Riverside in Norwich. OK so Chinese isn't your traditional Christmas fare but it is very convenient for transport links and, being a buffet restaurant, people can eat as much or as little as they want and also choose their dishes. Price is 14UKP per person.
However there's also a Malaysian Buffet restaurant opened in Timberhill (round the corner from Castle Meadow, the lane that goes up towards John Lewis') that charges 10UKP per person.
I've no preference as to date but not to too close to 25th if possible.

Have we decided on the post/pre Christmas thing yet (Post is still my preference)
Just waiting to hear of any more opinions or interested parties, then I guess we look at all the options and make a perhaps two suggestions based on that. The permanent irc crowd will probably discuss this next week sometime, or Monday nights irc meeting?

Now that would be interesting!
Just after Christmas would be better for me.

I'm not saying much ATM because I don't know where I'll be just after Christmas, having family spread over the country.
Before Christmas is just not financially possible.

I tried that place in Thursday lunchtime and quite liked it. It's run by the same people who run the Chinese place in Riverside (I recognised some of the staff). Tough I believe the NMalaysian one is quite popular - we were quite lucky to get a table wuithout booking.

Well we had some discussion about date and location of our Alug Christmas meal at the City Gate meeting this evening! Our proposed location is the Buckinghamshire Arms http://www.buckinghamshirearms-norfolk.co.uk/food.htm which several of us have been to before and praise highly. As far as dates go, Friday evenings seem the popular choice, proposing either Friday 7 January or Friday 14 January.
We still have to check with the pub to make sure we can make the booking, but it would be nice to have a show of hands as to who would like to go, and which date is more preferable. I'll wait a week or so for responses and then phone up the pub to ask, unless a flurry of activity selects another venue before then.

This looks very nice to me; I think I'd slightly prefer 14th Jan. I'd be happy to consider a week night if that makes it easier for more people to come however.

I'm easy, either date is fine by me :) Once we've organised the date, then we can move on to organising how to get people there (woo!)

Yes - I would find no difficulty getting there - it's getting home that would be the problem.

Either date sounds good to me. Venue is fine as long as it's after about 7:30 (as I need time to finish work and then get there)
