We have 45 confirmed people for our Christmas get-together at Johnstown Garden Centre, Naas, on 8th January. We will meet in the restaurant from 12:30 onwards. There is one maybe.

It should be a great day and I hope everyone will take part in the Kris Kindle, bringing a wrapped gift. Festive headwear would add to the atmosphere so I hope everyone will manage that.

There will be a raffle, with star prizes of 5 Johnstown vouchers. If you would like to donate to the raffle, let me know. And if you should be on this list but are not, then please send me a message. We would love to see you at the meeting.

I have ordered an additional five calendars to cope with the demand so, unless someone books them before hand, I will bring them along for sale on the day at €10 each. Let me know if you want to book one before hand.

It should be a great day and I can't wait to see you all again.

Calander looks great, well done. There will be copyright due any of my photos used needless to say............... LOL

I take it the kris kindle is just for the .iers  and not any parteners ? 


Rachel Rachel 30 December 2011 14:41:30

Fran, I thought you would have preferred royalties :)

I guess the Kris Kindle should be for ie-ers only.

Did you say you had a book for the raffle. I will put in one that I failed to swap.


Scrubber Scrubber 30 December 2011 17:49:53

If one were to slip you a little brown envelope might one be sure of one of those star prizes??? Just a thought. Oh and in Frans just for a laugh it was a WELL Paddy was supposed to have fallen into not a wall. Many many thanks for organising what promises to be  a wonderful day. It is so appreciated by all of us! Im also so looking forward to the calendar!


Dick Dick 30 December 2011 18:02:59

Many thanks Rachel for organising. I hope we will get weather that will make it possible to drive. 


fran m fran m 30 December 2011 18:05:26

Rachel, royalities no use on a calender that only lasts a year...................


Clara Clara 30 December 2011 18:45:40

 Rachel well done on organising the get together and of course the calender , looking forward to it.


Jacinta Jacinta 30 December 2011 18:46:51

Wow, what a record-breaking number of ier's. This promises to be the best ever. Thanks again, Rachel.

Seems that no one really took me up on the Book Swap, I may have a few books for the raffle. 


Noelfitz Noelfitz 30 December 2011 18:51:44

I am very sorry I am not able to go, as it will be a great day.

All the best for 2012.


Rachel Rachel 30 December 2011 18:56:36

Now, now, Scrubber!


Rachel Rachel 30 December 2011 18:59:51

Jacinta, see how you're fixed on the day of the get-together.

That's a shame, Noel. I am sure everyone (who hasn't done so already) would have been glad to meet you.


fran m fran m 30 December 2011 19:09:35

Sorry, meant to say yes I have a  book for the raffel.


Rachel Rachel 30 December 2011 19:15:06

Thanks, Fran. I made a note that you had a book for the raffle but then I got confused with the book swap details. So my note was right :P Look, maybe you want to swap with Jacinta. I'll play it by ear and see what gets donated on 8th!


Jacinta Jacinta 30 December 2011 19:35:19

Fran, what kind of book would be looking for, if you were swapping? ANd what book are you donating for the raffle?


Dick Dick 30 December 2011 19:43:18

Jacinta, it seems that you want jam on it, not on the book of course:)

By the way looking at the weather forecast, it seems that the weather will be good, no snow so no excuse to stay at home. 


TheH (Hazel) TheH (Hazel) 30 December 2011 22:16:55

Surely the Kris Kindle is for .iers AND partners if they wish to bring a gift each ...... some partners may feel excluded ....... Looking forward to it!


Rachel Rachel 30 December 2011 22:28:43

You're right, Hazel. Whoever brings a pressie for the pile can draw one out.


Joann Joann 01 January 2012 17:19:10

Hello Rachel,

Bloomin right it is, Conrad. What on earth were you thinking? :D


Conrad Conrad 01 January 2012 20:50:59

I've no idea, let's just put it down to a moment of sanity. I'm back to normal now. ;o)


Jacinta Jacinta 01 January 2012 20:57:05
