Xmas drink meet up

[Greenfever]

That is so bizarre. I was there from 6 with Greenfever, then 4 others arrived. We sat on the right in the slightly elevated section and were there until 11 as well! I think I emailed you at about 9 to ask if you were still coming!! We all said it was a shame you couldn't make it as there was a lot of of love in the room :cheesy: and you would not have been short of drinks.

We all seemed to have fun and quite nice talking about trading with people who actually wanted to listen 😆

We said we should do it again in 3-4 months, so around April. In our inebriated state, we gave ourselves % gain targets between now and then. Mine was a cautious 30%, TDU8 was gung ho with 100% (perhaps he had 1-2 pints more than me) Well, lets see how that pans out.
oh, Barbaras...you have to start trading and letting us in on all of your secrets 😉

Dax

Hi Dax, thanks again for organising. Was good fun chatting to you all and bouncing a few ideas around. Wasn't feeling too clever on Saturday morning, but had a great night and look forward to round two, hopefully we will all be well on our way to reaching that 1500 pips 🙂

Am the other side of Bedford so Aylesbury is a bit tricky. Thanks for asking though. Will be up for the next London one.

The staff were a little confused about who'd booked which tables. One of them sent me to a table where I got confusion followed by giggling when I asked if they were the Trade to Win group! Luckily the next table I tried was the right one, think two embarrasments would have been enough for one night!

Nice to meet the ppl who were there on Friday night, and Mark you were certainly there in spirit as your ideas & contributions kept a lot of the conversation going.

Once again sorry. Still kicking my self for not checking all the tables! from the chat me and Tang had we had asked at at least 6 tables between us, just mossied the crucial one. I was convinced one of you must pass us coming in or going to the gents toilets but and see our sign, but not so.

Yes barbras, if nothiong else sign up for SLM and use FNT trader so you dont have to get out of bed.

I made an estimation to Tangereo that with a similar market conditions in 2011, a decent INT setting and 15-20 AI reverse trades throughout the year I reckon 1500 pips is a good FNT variants target for 2011.

Hi Mark

Just my 2 pennys but I think if we want decent curry we would have to go out to say Wendover which is only a few miles out of Aylesbury. Also if you were thinking some people might be coming on the train out of London then it stops at Wendover.

Fully agree, Wendover, The Prince of India, good call and easier for Gillybabe too (closer). So I think you and I shall share a cab ride there and back Phil? I will PM my mobile number to all.

So Booked the Prince of India in Wendover for Table of 6. 8pm Friday 17/12/10. Will aim to arrive by about 7.30pm. It's details are here :

http://www.prince-of-india.co.uk/contact.htm


It is at the bottom of high street in Wendover just slightly down from a mini roundabout on the road to Aylesbury. About 3 min walk away 1/2 way up the highstreet (hill) is a free public carpark opposite a Budgens supermarket (I think) and the Train Station from London Marylbone is at the top of the hill about 5 mins walk away.

Table is booked in the name of "Horton". Booked for 6 but am probably able to adjust upwards if anyone decides to Jump in too, just PM me asap.

Still doing my best M & Co. We are getting on well with the house clearance but the auctioneer now says he will collect all the furniture on Friday morning, not Thursday as arranged dammit. We then have the glaziers in to replace an upstairs leaded window frame - removed to remove furniture. So we can't leave the Sussex borders till late afternoon.

We are also towing a 750kg trailer and loading the car literally with the family silver . So if the snow has not set-in, instead of going Tring Pitstone Horton etc. I will attempt to get to the Prince. There is usually a space over the road to park so hope it will take a trailer too. But I can't leave it whilst I have a meal, so Mrs Mish will guard it whilst I pop in to say hello if I can. Will do my best.

 

[gillybabe]

Brill Missionary. Look forward to meeting you.

 

[DaxM]

Hi Aylesbury crew. I was going to drive down, but will have to bail as the missus now has a xmas do so I'm on kiddy duty. Shame, as it would have been nice to meet more of the NT gang.

The London gathering agreed to meet again in 3-4 months time so I will set that up in the new year.

Hi Mark

Sounds like a great idea to share a cab. I will drop you a PM with my number and whereabouts in Aylesbury so that we can sort it out.

As the forecast is suggesting temperatures aren't going to rise much today I think it would be silly for me to drive up from Dorset for this evening so Unfortunately I'm going to give it a miss. Have a good time and I look forward to meeting up in 2011.
