DECEMBER 5th LONDON GET-TOGETHER

In December 2007, the Bollocks To PCa Bunch met up in London for our first 'Christmas' party.

As you can see from this photo, we were a very small  bunch of Bollockeers back then.

Back: Keith, George, Mike & Grant
Front: Peter Michaelis, John Reid and Bernie Boyce


Sadly, only Mike, Keith and myself are still around today.


Since that first bash, we've met up in London every year, with the exception of one December, when Mike hosted a great function in Birmingham.

Soon after the loss of our dear friend Grant this year, I spoke to his wife Sandra about how to carry on our yearly December get-togethers.
He had  arranged that very first B2PCa London 'do' in Dec 2007 and from then on these functions were his 'babies'.
 I told her that his last choice of venue, The Euston Flyer, had been the best one of them all, and that we MUST carry on.

Sandra would love to come along and meet us all again. In fact there are now quite a few of our sadly breaved ladies who have struck up great friendships at our functions, summer or winter.

I am delighted to announce that the raised section of the pub is reserved for B2PCa on the afternoon of Wednesday 5th December, from NOON. Once again, there will be a good selection of buffet snacks for all who want to order them in advance. Menus will be sent out later in the year.
Just one important point: the maximum number of folks able to sit in the reserved section at The Euston Flyer is 30 Please let me know a.s.a.p. whether you can attend or not

Here's the pub, just a few minutes walk from Kings Cross station:

  4. George, I thought you said it wos really for geezers only when we spoke this morning.

    So to keep the gender balance predominantly male, put me down for a place.

    'er indoors knows her place and shan't be coming!

    p.s. I'm assuming the ladies that are coming are only down in the "smoke" for the shopping on the basis that "yes dear you can go to London for your get together as long as I can go shopping with your debit card" or something like that!

  5. Re photos, can you put the link to OUR photobucket on our photos page or Bollocks HOME page please.(or if it is there, make it idiot proof)

    George, still not sure yet about coming down to Euston, will make a decision when the numbers are getting near the 30 mark.

  6. OK Roger, got your name on the list now.
    There were 2 women at the very first Christmas do, (producers from that TV documentary), and gradually, each December, the numbers of the fairer sex present grew.

    Chris, take a look at the homepage here, bottom right hand side...an idiot proof link to the Photobucket functions album!
