There was some concern that the date chosen for last year's event conflicted with another website's do. So to get in really early I will start a thread for this year's event. For the last few years it has been the Saturday before Xmas, and that shall continue.

I probably won't start checking names or locations until August/September so this is just to make sure that everyone knows the planned date.

It's a shame this has to happen: FFA vs AFF Xmas dinners clashing...I'm not going to commit to either at this point but will wait to see what unfolds....I just hope the dates don't clash (but I fear the worst) and forumites can attend both!

Considering what I just saw on Facebook, it might not be much of a decision

Definitely interested, and since it's posted so early I should be able to find a flight

 

[PeteJ]

Platinum please. Thanks for early confirmation of the date.
