West Midlands FIAT Forum Xmas Party 2011

[ben]

Celebrate Xmas with the FIAT FORUM!
Saturday December 3 @ Jongleurs Birmingham
​

Ho Ho Ho! - The festive season is nearly upon us and this year we decided that we wanted to do something a bit special

We wanted to find a place that would be entertaining, central and give everyone the opportunity to really let their hair down - so - may we present to you the FF Xmas Party Extravaganza 2011


So then, what's the plan Batman?

Firstly, wined and dined ...

Things will kick off at the Jongleurs Comedy club, where you'll have a night of entertainment supplied by some of the funniest acts in the business. To accompany this, you'll be able to tuck into a fine 3 course meal (menu later) as well as get sloshed on copious amounts of alcohol - this will go on until about 10pm, when ...

You get to dance off your dinner ...

Your xmas ticket also includes entrance into the Oceana nightclub, where a special private FF Booth/Room will be available to you


Sounds great, but what about the costs?

We'll be eating from the Gold Menu, which includes ...

Your choice of STARTER.........

Roast Vine Tomato, Red Pepper and Basil Soup with Rustic Bread.

Chicken Liver, Cream and Cognac Pate’ served with Plum and Apple Chutney and Rustic Bread

Feta and Pesto Tart with a Plum and Apple Chutney

Your choice of MAINS........

Roast stuffed Turkey fillet with Mini Sausages wrapped in Bacon, Roast Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables.

Beef Bordelaise with crushed New Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables.

Salmon Fillet with Hollandaise Sauce crushed New Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables.

Goats Cheese, Red Pepper and Walnut Wellington with a Cherry Tomato and Garlic Sauce, crushed New Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables.

Fennel and Chestnut Roast with Cranberry Relish crushed New Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables.

And your choice of one of our fantastic DESSERTS........

Christmas Pudding Chunk Cheesecake

Rich Chocolate Bavarois with Raspberry Coulis

Orange Cream Profiteroles with warm Chocolate Sauce

Or

Coffee and Mince Pies.

PLUS a glass of bubbly when you first arrive, as well as 3 drinks of your choice to go with your meal / night.

This would usually cost £44 - however, the forum is going to be able to subsidise things a bit this year and thus the final cost will be just £35!

There is also NO EXTRA CHARGE for the VIP room at Oceana - everything is included!


Fantastic! So how do I get in on this?

Due to the timing of this and the fact it's Xmas, it means we need to get booked ASAP. As soon as you can (and literally, as SOON as) you need to send a £10 deposit (per person) through PayPal to [email protected] and then make a note of it on this thread.

So as to not lose out, we'll be making the preliminary booking after we've received 10 deposits and then amending as more come in.

For this reason it's important you don't all leave it until the last minute, as we'd be in danger of missing out!!!

So everyone, check your calendars / diaries / iPads / whatever - and when you've found out you're free, get the deposit sent over - add youself to the "attending list" and then sit back and relax knowing you're going to the most awesome party since .... well since forever!

Any other questions, chuck them down below

Ideally want to make the preliminary booking by the end of next week - so chop chop people

[dave]

:yeahthat:

If at the end of the day it doesn't come off, I'll just refund all the deposits.

 

[ben]

Well I just don't know what to say.

We did a poll where people were told to vote only if they would come, the poll ends, everything is setup and then absolutely no one puts their money where their mouth is.

I'm really disappointed that you could do this - it wasn't fair on the ones who could only make the other dates.

Poor poor show.
