Seeing that this is our Christmas meal I think that it would be nice to dress up a little.
Christine my otherhalf is asking what she should wear, so I think smart casual would be good..:doubleup:

I'll were a waste coat over my SES shirt then.

:doubleup::doubleup:




What are your thoughts on this ?? 'T' shirts or smarter dress as I know that people like to dress up a little at Christmas??

At the end of the day as long as we have a good time, thats what counts.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask as wear a shirt and tie all week.
I will go with the flow, although I stop at rubber, spandex or anything with leather/studs:cath:.

smart casual is fine with me - especially as i never did get round to ordering my SES shirt!

:beer:

I'll put the tux back in it's bag then..... :sadnod:

I stop at spandex........I don't know why!!!!

Have a great time Guys and Gals !!!!!

Looking forward to some piccies!!!

Guys and Gals
This is quite lickely to be rescheduled by looks of the weather.
Watch this space over the next 24 hours.

Edited to add, BIG E will inform all if anything changes.

Ide Hill is one of the highest spots in Kent, so they kop it big time. I have a mate who has lived there for years.

I have just spoken to The Woodman and they are open and accessible now.:yeah:

Im still going even if i have to use my dog and a sledge!!!

Good man .:10:

Can the dog do a round trip via Crowmans ??:five:

unless we get a shedload more snow tonight, we'll get there :doubleup:

Big' E what time are you picking tony up as I'll meet you at his ;-)

Thought you were picking me up!!!!!:deadhorse:

i assume theres been no more snow over Kent way and everyone is still coming to this as planned? :doubleup:

YES :doubleup::santagrin::santagrin:


As far as I know everyone is still going.:santawave::santawave::santawave: :santawave::santawave::santawave: :santawave::santawave::santawave::santawave: :santawave: :santawave:

I think I might dip out. Ice again tonight with more snow coming in later.

Due to the current weather and road conditions, I would suggest that you follow the directions from the link below. ie go in from the A25 end.

http://www.thewoodman-idehill.co.uk/findus.htm

At the moment there is a small convoy going from Hasting leaving from The Harrow at 6.00pm.
We shall be going straight up the A21 and possibly doing a pick up in Tonbridge. Then onto The Woodman.

we'll be taking the easy M23/M25 route :)

Well done Steve thats the spirit.:five:

Not even managed to get car off drive yet.
I have been out with the spade,shovel etc, will update hear later.
Fookin twatting snow

Shame we can't have re-scheduled this when we knew the snow was coming.

Too late now I suppose.

We was all told everything is in hand with the gritters.

We know what was in the hands of the gritter bosses.:wa::wa:

Still they have got all day to get things sorted.

BIG E i got your voice msg, there was no chance of me answeing the phone at that time in the morning was there ;)

Perhaps 10.00am was a little early, but you would normaly be stuck under a scoob.:paranoid::santawave:

I have just spoke to The Woodman,

He says they are open and looking forward to seeing us.:doubleup:

The latest weather forecast for The Woodman at 00.00am is:

Partly cloudy and -2c,

possible sleet around 03.00am by which time I will be tucked up in bed.:doubleup:

Come on people, dont let a few inches of snow beat you!!

Everyone on the list please confirm if you are still 100% going to try and make it.
My car is firmly stuck on drive, i dug around it and got it to edge of road but having then bumped twice sideways into kerb, thank god no wheel damage. I am not risking my car getting fooked.
Worzel is also not happy about going over that way with the forcast as it is.
