Good question... isn't it the weekend before the weekend before Crimbo? One weekend before it feels a bit stressy...

I was thinking about this the other day but didn't get beyond it. It has varied year to year, so does anyone have a preference?

Voting for 10/11th please, mainly to prevent Mrs P shouting at me for not 'helping' nearer the (admittedly minimal) festivities. Makes it easier to book a boozer as well if that's what people go for. Also a bigger gap before the Winter Event (6th/7th?). Ooh sorry, being a bit forceful today

Yep Dec10/11 would be good. I', determined to sort another Chilterns event this year and two weeks before Xmas makes it a lot easier to book a boozer etc.'

I'll start turning random thoughts into some type of plan and start a WWB thread. I will say, expect to be north of the Towers this year.
Obviously, anyone wanting to plan something for other regions, then do carry on.

Both equally appealing for a those reasons, and I'm havering

. Although the cave was the first offer, and obviously it's impossible for Reg to turn a quarry down

Do you mean 'a cave, woman'? Or are you implying Verena will become a cavewoman?
