Christmas Get-together weekend @ the Black Spur Inn

Date and time: Sat 12th December - Sun 13th December. 

Arrive any time, with Happy Hour @ 4pm on Saturday - a couple of people will make a weekend of it and arrive on Friday evening. If there's enough interest, we may try to run a trip. 

Register your attendance, and add guests, so we know how many are coming.

Description: This is an informal gathering, with the only scheduled activities being Happy Hour at 4pm and Dinner gathering at 6pm, both on the Saturday. Dinner is BYO food and drink, or order food from the Black Spur (menu TBA).

Some of us will arrive Friday night and stay for lunch on Sunday.

Camp fire will be running, if rules allow.

A cabin, with toilet and shower will be made available for campers.

We may post a menu nearer the time and once we get a better idea of numbers.  If so, we will ask you to pre-order your meal a few days in advance to help Di Kennedy plan the day.

If weather is bad, we will move inside to the main function room for dinner.

More info to come.
