Hi folks if you have read the christmas shopping thread you will know that I am thinking of organising what can be best described as a vitual christmas party. Its really just a date that we can make when everyone is free to come on the forum for a while and join in with some chat and maybe some quizzes and games and other stuff. I thought it would be nice if we could try and meet up virtually as we can't do it in real life due to us all being scattered miles apart! I was thinking of possibly Sunday 21st December late afternoon thru to late night to give most people a chance of getting on? If this is no good for anyone or anyone has any other suggestions for the date or evenings they definitely cant make it let me know. I also realise we have overseas members who may find it hard to join in. Not sure about the time differences are you aussies about 10 hours ahead of us or behind I can never remember?!! And have even less clue about USA

I wont be around then, so that date is no good for me. Neither is the day before, I am afraid. I suspect I will be ill in bed all of that Sunday with a hangover (christmas party the night before).
Aussies are anywhere between 10 and 12 hours ahead of us, depending on where they live. USA is anything from 8-14 hours behind us (again, depending on where they live).

Yes, I think I will be the same as you that Saturday garej, as I'm out with my friends from where I used to work on the Friday night!
Thanks for the info re. times for oz and usa. If we had it on a weekend at least aussie members could join in albeit would be the morning for them!
Possibly the sunday or saturday before (14th or 13th) or is that too early? I'm sure we will be able to work sonething out. As long as we can fit it in around real life parties and christmas shopping!

Yes you will have to make it wear a party hat and feed it sausages on sticks ;D ;D ;D Seriously tho it will just be the same as normal except we will try to get as many of us as possible logged on together. I will have a look at the live chat thing to see if I can set it up just for one night if not we can just have a thread dedicated to chat for that night. Just wondering if I can work out a way to get music playing so we can all share in Slade's timeless classic ;D

Claire in order to get into live chat everyone will have to have latest version of java installed (and a machine that can take it) other than (and the fact it's damn confusing at time with all those convo's going on) that it's okay.

what is the dress code? hope I don't have to wear high heels cos I don't own any ;D Well i will probably be in my pink fluffy dressing gown! ;D My friend is bringing me one of those usb christmas trees you plug em into a usb port and they light up! They are switching the Christmas lights on in Richmond (my nearby town) on Friday night. It will look lovely as its a beautiful place at any time but with lights will look really special. But back to the party. Has anyone any objections about the 13th December as it seems most of us so far will be OK then? I like mysteryarabs suggestion of us having photos of us as little uns and having to guess who each other is. Obviously you will not be able to post them yourself as might just give the game away but if you want to join in you could send them to me via email and i will put them all on a special thread.
