I've attended every one of the Annual meeting / Christmas doos and despite the silly food and drink prices at this particular Mercure hotel the Saturday night meal and disco afterwards were absolutely fantastic. By far the best evening event there's been. Cracking music and a great laugh with great people.
I think the suggestion of having a separate RTE/afternoon meeting earlier in the year and then just an evening meal/get together on a Saturday night somewhere will be a good solution. I do enjoy these social get togethers and if we can find somewhere cosy and not have to shell out for a dedicated room then all will be good. Thanks Phil for organising this one again
