Xmas Party 7th December ( not long now )

[Beaker]

MMOC Christmas party is just a little over a month now. Hopefully you have all been thinking of ways your cars can be decorated to win the competition of "Most Festive Car"

I know I have been seen browsing the christmas decoration stands to see what can be done with the car that I eventually decide to take.

For those of you who have said they are coming, deposit cheques are needed soon as we need to tell the restuarant fixed numbers.

Also those of you who are yet to decide, everyone is welcome. It will be a good chance to put names to faces off the forum and perhaps meet and greet other fellow enthusiasts. The event is to be held at a beefeater pub in Oxford next to the former Rover car plant, on the 7th December, with seating for meal at 2:30pm.

PM or email me at lindsey.smith@nospammaestro.org.uk (remove nospam) for details, address to send the deposit or to let me know you are coming.

Also are people planning to meet up on convoy to travel down to Oxford?

Send Those Cheques!!!!!!!!

It will be a great day out, so if you havent decided yet - it would be good to get as many people as possible there...

:cool:

[Alan the Vanner]

Well, I need to get the back springs replaced, the back axle refurbished, find the jet, er, I mean V6 engine, and find everything else and fit it all in place.
I think she'll need a bit more than tinsel!:laugh:

[Beaker]

Don't worry if Linz isn't ready, bring something else along. We still haven't decided if we are taking a maestro or not yet. May take our Rover 214 SLi and dress it up.

'Tinsel' will have to go out and purchase lots of that :D

Lindz

[Alan the Vanner]

Well, I was thinking of just turning up in one of my 'yotas, or if Liam or MGJOX could get in touch with me, I'm sure either could give me a lift.

[Beaker]

I have now recieved some more cheques for the xmas party. Many Thanks to all those who have sent them.

For those of you who are wanting to come and still haven't got round to posting them. I will be at the AGM if you would like to give them to me there, or you can mail me for the address to post them to.

It appears they would like to write out place cards for us all on the table, to make it look nice, etc.

So what I need to know from people is what does everyone want. I'll type out the options below, and if you can either let me know below, by pm or email that would be great.

Choices:

Starters:

Soup of the Day (Vegetarian option), served with half a baguette.

Chicken Liver, Bacon and Cointreau Pate served with half a baguette

Breaded Mushrooms Breaded Deep fried mushrooms, with a ranch dip

[malcsmaesty]

No not bad, it was only a c.v boot and a rear shock,just general wear and tear really.


So come on rich, let us have a clue on the prize then!!!;)

[Austin-Rover]

I dont know, Linds wont tell me. :(

[malcsmaesty]

[malcsmaesty]

[Maria]

I know, I ain't telling, and I have no intention of trying to upstage any of you with a Ford Mondeo :laugh:

[Beaker]

:censored: You are all going to have to make the effort and dress your car up to find out.

Hopefully everyone is going to enter the competition!

I will be very dissapointed if someone hasn't made the effort :(
