Tis the season to be jolly at the Winchester Christmas meetup :christmas_tree:
Eat, drink, sign postcards, and be wearing an ugly Christmas sweater!

The elves have told me the schedule :spiral_calendar:

  • :snowflake:11 am meet at Turtle bay (5 min walk from the Winchester Station)
    Let’s have a Christmas brunch and sign some postcards.

  • :snowflake: After we will walk around the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market (free admission) and take a group photo.

:love_letter: Our team of elves has been putting in a lot of effort into creating our meetup postcard and here it is…

Reserve your postcard now. Each postcard will cost 20p.
The order will be sent on 17th November.

And just like on Christmas day we couldn’t forget a Secret Santa :santa:t5::gift:

  • Bring with you a gift worth ÂŁ5.
    Feel free to write a Christmas card to place together with your gift.

  • However, you don’t need to bring a gift if you don’t want to participate in Secret Santa.

“We will be holding a competition for the ugliest sweater. Please come prepared to potentially win a prize.” :santa:t5::trophy:

:bellhop_bell: If you wish to join us, simply click on the RSVP button “Going” (blue bottom at the top).

:point_up: Please make sure to read the Meetup Guidelines before signing up for a meetup.

I am incredibly disappointingly in between night shifts, but I will do my best to atleast show my face! Maybe my colleagues will be kind to me and let me sneak off early for a few Zs :sleeping:

We would like to come Jenny - too soon to book trains yet & unclear if subject to engineering work. Will keep checking x

I don’t think I’ll be able to come but just wanted to say you’ll have a great time! I visited Winchester last summer and Josie’s is amazing :heart_eyes:

Having registered interest I have now found out I can’t make it after all :slightly_frowning_face: I have a clash with a charitable event I am committed to and the date has only just been announced. I’m really sorry to miss it and was looking forward to revisiting Winchester. Another time! Hope it goes well!
