66.0. "B'stoke XMAS Bashette!" by LARVAE::LUCIE (Make mine a Pint of ESB!) Tue Nov 29 1988 15:24

                        Basingstoke Christmas Bash
                        ==========================
    
    Hello Everybody,
    
    Thought I'd put a note in here to announce the Basingstoke Digital
    Christmas Bash.  Which is for all the offices here in Bayo.  (apart
    from the fact that I've organised it).
    
    It will be held on Tuesday 13th December from 8pm - 1am at the Martines
    Night Club.
    
    It is open to all DEC employees (only), in Basingstoke, but the 
    more the merrier etc.  Any contractors/temps wishing to attend should 
    ensure that they have some form of DEC ID, because admission will be on
    the production of a DEC photo ID Badge.
    
    I think this could be a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet
    fellow DECies from all over the town.
    
    This is a FREE bash, paid for by your local S&SC - so please come
    and have a 'whizzo' time.
    
    Cheers
    Lucie

66.1Correction to FREE!LARVAE::LUCIEMake mine a Pint of ESB!Tue Nov 29 1988 15:267
    
    When I said FREE - it means that the 'do' is free not the refreshments
    etc.  Buy your own beer, eats etc.
    
    Toodaloo!

66.3Wot No Buffet!LARVAE::LUCIEMake mine a Pint of ESB!Thu Dec 01 1988 09:0912
    
    Hello Lexiloo,
    
    Unfortunately due to the lack of response from the various S&SC
    committees I've found it impossible to gauge how many people are
    gonna turn up.  Its no use me organising a buffet for 100 people if
    300 people turn up eh?  That or some S&SC can not afford it!
    
    So the buffets off!

66.4Come as you like!LARVAE::LUCIEMake mine a Pint of ESB!Fri Dec 09 1988 13:029
    
    Just a quickie to let you know that anything goes in the form of
    dress on Tuesday at Martines.
    
    Jeans, Gold Lame Body Stockings etc. come as you like!
    
    Cheers
    Lucie

    WHAT A GREAT EVENING!   
    (Even though I didn't win anything in the Raffle..) 
    
    I have never seen SO many Deccies all in one place bopping the night 
    away.  MARTINES WAS JUST PACKED! The evening was a resounding success 
    - judging on how many were there and how long they all stayed dancing! 
    
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK! Roll on next years'!
    
    Lexiloo
                                     
66.8Well, I enjoyed it...The Grope that is!CHEST::JENKINSSquidgy bits...Wed Dec 14 1988 10:0513
    
    
    Well judging by the rather "subdued" faces here at the Crescent
    this morning (lots of black coffee..), I think you could say that
    we all had a really good time.
    
    Thanks for organising it!

    ps - one of our group *did* win something in the raffle.....didn't
    open the bottles tho....;-)

    Well done Lucie, the blood shot eyes, the pounding heads, the hobbling
    and moaning tells the whole story....every one who went thought
    it was a fantastic do.....same again next year.
                                                          
    By the way......it was me with the camera...I've got this feeling
    I'm going to be right very soon.
    
    re -.1  Martines is only fun when there is a private function there!

    Cheers Guys and Gals, yep twas not a bad night!  I thoroughly 
    enjoyed myself and Wednesday morning was the same in Snam House
    mega amounts of black coffee and asprins.
    
    We should certainly do something like that again soon!  Anyone have
    any suggestions as to what????

66.13scattering ideas on the groundKERNEL::HBUTTFri Dec 16 1988 12:559
    when we've all recovered from Christmas....we usually start looking
    for something to do around about February (there's 14th - Valentine),
    and then we could always do something for Easter.  If by some fluke
    there is reasonable weather..we could hijack a field and have a
    family day with disco, AND BAR, in a Marquee in the evening.
    
    
    	Just a thought !
