Secret Santa 2022

Cool.I have reserves too if needed to make swap good. Including breakages. No problem. I have plenty of bottles in reserve

 

[Griff097]

It’s 1 or 2 bottles. I‘m not sure I can throw in a 3 without breaking the swap, If I work it out I’ll send you a message.

No worries, I thought others had done more previously 2 is fine.

I think some people volunteer to be on the 'reserve' list for a 3rd bottle if other bottles get lost in the post, don't turn up or are never sent etc etc.

Which reminds me, i'm happy to be on said list and can get out a 3rd bottle if needed.

Postal strikes planned up until Christmas, so the Beers would need to be sent out early doors

Cheers for that. We can extend the usual review period into the new year as well.

Last call for entrants, tomorrow is the official closing date. However, I'm out on the lash tomorrow night so it might be Sunday before I'm in a position to send out the swaps.

Thank-you to everyone who has sent an address to me or bumped their message from last year. I've sent out a couple of requests for addresses to people that I can't find in the inbox.

I've posted the index column from the spreadsheet. Last chance to double check your name is on it.

Looks like i am missing

 

[Mrhandsome]

Unfortunately I can't join in the fun this year.



But I'll be watching. Always watching.

Apologies, you're in now.

 

[starseeker]

Apologies, you're in now.

Thank you Alastair, do you need my address or is it still on file ?

 

[Alastair70]

Thank you Alastair, do you need my address or is it still on file ?

No worries, I found you in last years messages.

Swaps are getting sent out tomorrow, I’m still hanging after last nights festivities.

 

[starseeker]

You had a damn good night then

 

[Alastair70]

My wife couldn’t work out how I managed to get a taxi home when I was completely incapable of speaking!

 

[Alastair70]

Everyone should now have had a swap message from me. The important points are:

The last date for posting has moved up a week so beers need to be sent out sometime this week.

I made two errors in the first lot of addresses. Two of you have got a message detailing which in the first message is wrong and what it should have been. Someone was going to get 4 beers, and it wasn't me!

Enjoy the swap everyone, review thread opens Christmas Eve

 

[DocAnna]

Thank you @Alastair70 for bringing this together and making it happen. Full credit for the time and organisation which is needed for the rest of us to enjoy this swap . I hope Santa is good to you
