# Just about to put this on the calendar, but need your help



Here's the deal- I want to set up another Derby bash, last year's was absolutely brill, we had a massive turn out and a good giggle (as well as perplexing, sometimes even scaring, a good few locals!).
This year is going to be at the same venue but there are two options and they are as follows

Option A:

This would be in the main bar, there is great music, real ales, but it does get very busy on a Saturday night and last year we all got a bit cramped in a section we managed to take over because we were there early enough.

Option B:

This would be in the function room upstairs. It has its own bar and would be exclusively for our use, there is no music but we are free to provide our own entertainment (whether that be live music or a cd player and a few choice 'I Love Horses!' remixes!). There is a £60 charge for its use, and we will mostly be covering that but if this option goes ahead I may ask everyone to chuck me a pound when they attend just to make it a bit less painful.

My own preference is probably for the 27th, but I'd really appreciate a bit of feedback before I go ahead with one or the other, just to figure out when people are likely to be able to attend and what people would prefer :)

/apologies for length YOU FECKIN' LURVE IT

# 20th over the 27th
IF I'm doing a show, the 20th will be difficult, but the 27th will be impossible.

If the show falls through, I could come to both!
