Ok, so it's a little late to organise a 'forum Xmas do' and, to be honest, I'd rather spend Christmas with the family than with you lot (no offence). So I am seeing whether anybody would be interested in a New Year's bash. Remember, for those of us working in tax, New Year begins 1st February and definitely not 1st January!
I am thinking along the lines of meeting up mid-Feb for something to eat and drink in a central city location (let's say Birmingham for now..). Super casual - I'm not booking a table for 20 when only 5 people actually show up!
If you are genuinely interested can you add your user name and current location to this thread for a show of hands and we'll take it from there..

P.S. I am only posting this once in this forum so if any of you, god forbid, venture into the madhouse that is the student forums then feel free to let them know about it. I am sure the venue will have a children's menu..!

I am not a full member just an student so not sure if i am allowed to go guys if it is just for full members thats ok i just want to meet some of you0 -
Students are also very welcome.
I would like to see the list hit 20 before looking into arrangements given that some people will inevitably drop out due to date, time, location, suddenly realising they have better things to do than hang out with other accountants etc..0 -

Possibly - as long as it's not all gonna be about practice accountancy drivel. Someone needs to represent the other walks of life!

Maybe the AAT bots can make it another webinar and then cancel it at the last minute?0 -
Where I used to work we had a rule that if anyone 'talks shop' whilst on a night out they had to get a round of drinks in. Unfortunately everyone got very drunk very quickly and ran out of money.
I will be segregating the evening so that MIPs do not have to socialise with 'industry types' or students. People from recruitment agencies will have their own venue.0 -

Can we have a side bet please, Dean: out of me and you, see who gets beaten up first by the other attendees?
(Just noticed my next post is my 2,000th: need to spend it wisely...)0 -
