Anyone thought about an evening get together somewhere - decent xmas pub dinner and a few spring waters like...?

I dont mind looking to sort something out if there are enough people interested and willing to pay in advance so somewhere can be booked. Will need to sort parking etc out also.

Also location is a big thing... somewhere along the M4 corridor - easy access from north and south then. (Reading area?)

The problem is getting a date that suits everybody. I'll call Gareth tomorrow and see what we could do with Shakespears. I'll come up with some dates and check availability at the Tramway and Travelodge.

If anyone has any other suggestions fell free to join in
