Places get booked up early so ideas posted here please.
i'll go along, just tell me where and when 
Jason
i was thinking about this just the other day - no really. i was also wondering whether people would be up for a karting meet for a laugh. there are a few local places.
Karting...now that would be fun!! and funnily enough i was thinking abot karting this morning.....strange but true!
Go on then Ned, do some research on locations of them 
Jason
good outdoor karting track at milton keynes,indoor ones are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo naf
I've raced at Mk's, bloomin hard work doin an endurance race even if it was just two hours !!
Jason
just food and beer for me,i'm at an unfair disadvantage in a kart at 16stone
I'm saying nowt!!
well if i can get my massive bulk in one and do ok i'm sure you can do ok
and i didn't blow the engine
but the tyres gave a sigh of relief when i got off of it,
but beware i nearly trashed my company van when i came to the first roundabout at the A3, did an hour carting and felt like 3 hours in the gym and was
sore for days
it was an outdoor one quite small but ok
"surbiton raceway" i think
had trouble getting a racesuit to fit ( i dunno why), and got my head in an xl helmet but with plenty of vaseline 
Simple way to make your car feel faster and feel like the brakes are the best in the world............ drive a cart for an hour!! I nearly killed
myself last time i went
kart tracks indoor at aldershot and crawley, outdoor at sand down park, think theres one in/near croyden aswell. they must be the most local/central
ones for our lot, but all would be welcome, if people are serious i can start another thread on the idea...
guessing at the moment would be somewhere in the region of £40-60 for a practise/qualify and race session total track time maybe 45-60 mins. The more
interested we could prob get a better price for a group booking.

weather could be going downhill for paintballing and the daylight hours are fast getting shorter and from experience it always works out much more
expensive than you think as when you start firing the things they eat ammo. good suggestion though.
you just need to find a place that doesnt mid you bringing your own paintballs along ( so long as they are the same size )
you can buy a box of 2000 for £23 online and thats more then ive used in a whole day before now ....
hmmm i can look at it for local places and get some rough ideas also delta force has a great place in surrey and i can get good delta force deals (16
ppl went with 1000 paintballs each for £240 sounds alot but when you think its £15 each for a wole day and lunch included)...... depends what people
wanna do karting is a good idea just throwing in another option lol
But could the same be said about outdoor karting in December!?
I know a couple of guys who work for Aldershot karting, could have a 'word' with them maybe...
Andy
ned
crawley one is naff
There's karting at Brookwood nr. Woking which would be a little more central for everyone possibly.
Paintball's probably the best thing I've ever done but I've not been for years after they closed my favourite ever paintball place at
Greenham Common Newbury!
As for Xmas- just tell me where and when, I don't mind! It's the company that counts!
Cheers,
James
... oh God, is it really time to think about Christmas... I was sure someone had said that it was cancelled this year!

I went to the aldershot track a few years back (just worked it out, it was about 6 years ago!), its on military grounds, so you have to sign your car
in. the track was good, but from the website it looks like they've changed the layout. have you been there lately Andy?
Ned.
Back to top...... This is a Xmas dinns thread remember!! Any ideas, suggestions?
Curry, carvery, Italian?????????
Curry!!!!
The Rose Valley in Guildford is brilliant!
But then everyone's local is the best isn't it?!!!
I can't find a website with menu etc. but I reckon you'd get curry, rice, naan and a side dish for around £10-12.
I sure we can get a group deal or something if we get an idea of numbers soon.
I can try and scan a menu in and post it if it'll help.
I'm on pretty friendly terms with the manager too (he phoned me to say Happy Birthday! ) which might be worth something (free papadums at
least! ).
Big car park a couple of doors down too.
Ned,
Any views on the Rose Valley?
Cheers,
James

Sounds good to me. Do they have a seperate room?
Jim,

Ned.
may have to give it a test run

That's a point, Jasper's had take-away from there.
You think it was good enough for us all to go there Jasper? Or is it just that I'm addicted to the place?
Ned,
It's in Chertsey Street. Down the road from Buck and Ryan (tool shop) and RSVP (pretentious, expensive bar!). Couple of door up from Guildford
Comic Shop!
Worth a test run I'd say!
My girlfriend and I eat there atleast once a month.... we have the same thing every time too!
Cheers,
James
P.S. If you tell me when and how many then I'm more than happy to book it etc.

James - I thought if was good but not great - now if you want GREAT curry, then you need to come to my local in Hove
(Why do we all think our local curry house is the best there is????)
I know a pub near hindhead that does the best cheesy garlic bread in the world if that helps?
Ned.
Best curry houses i know are in twickenham in george street and a proper ale pub there too
James
£10 to £12 for a curry rice and naan i'll want a couple od side dishes and a few popadums for that much dosh
When i asked about the seperate room i meant one that all us lot can use so wo would'nt desturb the other customers, let's face it we are
going to be loud!!
your just a snob andy
Your point Bob?
