calendar front cover

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 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 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 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 30 December 2011 18:05:26

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

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 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 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 30 December 2011 18:56:36

Now, now, Scrubber!

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 30 December 2011 19:09:35

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

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 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 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) 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 30 December 2011 22:28:43

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

Joann 01 January 2012 17:19:10

Hello Rachel,

if I am able to make it to Johnstown on the 8th could I join in? I dont know is it open to all. I need to organise the kids but would love to meet up with you all, I dont get on the site too often but have a good read whenever I can.

Happy New Year to all

Joann

Rachel 01 January 2012 18:19:04

Joann, you would be very welcome at Johnstown. I have put you down as a maybe and I hope to see you there :)

Conrad 01 January 2012 20:19:46

Rachel, can you please stick me back on the list? It's too good a day to miss. :o)

Rachel 01 January 2012 20:21:06

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

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 01 January 2012 20:57:05

Normal? What's normal? I hope I never am!!!

Joann 01 January 2012 23:14:03
