Well done Chris , and well done the Orange Tree , it was good to have a room to ourselves and the food was very good...I just managed to cram down the figgy pudding and rush for a late train...it had a while to marinade in red wine on the journey home.

Speaking of which I hope you covered the cost of the wine OK , its hard to be treasurer and count all the cash in sometimes ....

Another great Christmas event Chris - many thanks.

Great to catch up with people but , as always, there were many that I didn't get round to chatting to - never seems to be enough time ...

Just finally reached base in West Cork after leaving Orange Tree at 0530 on Thursday morning for flight to Sweden.
Graet to meet may of you, though not enough and all your positive conmments on my new "Jaffa" hot rod project [thread will start soon- once I have mastered photobucket]
Will be there next year definitely, hope to also see some of you again at RS trcak day at Oulton in March and the Goodwood members meeting same weekend.
Thanks again Chris for a great evening- great food, do I owe some wine money to someone?

ps I can highly recommend the Orange Tree bedrooms- simply superb and a very short walk!
