Dear all, The annual Christmas party will be held on *Thursday 5th December* at *The Churchill* <http://www.churchillhotel.com/> (65 Bootham, York), from 7pm. The cost is *£23* and includes a free drink before the three-course meal. The meal was really tasty last year and the menu for this year looks as though it will be of the same high standard! Guests, including partners, are welcome. As always, the money is due in advance. We'll be coming around offices to make collections on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th October, so make sure you have some cash ready for us. Alternatively, you could pop by and see Huarda &lt;huarda.valdes-laribi(a)york.ac.uk&gt;in C104, or Emma &lt;eh776(a)york.ac.uk&gt;or Adele &lt;ag561(a)york.ac.uk&gt;in B001b. We've already had several sign-ups! *The final deadline for payments is Tuesday 15th October.* A flyer and the menu for this year are attached. We'll be asking for your menu choices when we collect the money. We're looking forward to seeing even more people this year, as it's a great opportunity to get to know faculty, staff, postdocs, RAs and PhD students in an informal environment! If we get enough people to attend, then we might be able to get our own private room at the venue!
