Hamilton Xmas Party Budget

In my Experience...

Thanks Tonto. Do you recommend making the hobbying arrangements their or prior to the soiree? Is it well attended by the ladies?

...it's best to make arrangements beforehand. I think the ladies are there mostly to meet and develop future business. It's a bit of a night off for them as well I think... although it is probably possible to make arrangements as well.

As for your earlier question about costs... you are your own "HCBO" (Hobby Control Board of Ontario) I have spent as little as $12.00 for a couple of beers to as much as $500 That was also two beers with a side of Mica from TGF before the party and a FS private dance at the SC before heading home! Helluva night!

One more thought...

There was a thread last month about the "punitive" service charges attached to some SC ATMs... I have seen as much as 20% in NF. So no matter what your budget intentions, you are wise to bring lots of "bling" to cover any eventuality. It's not like you couldn't spend it at Queenston on the way home, if it's burning a hole in your pocket!

Tonto and Stoo...one round of drinks on me for your great advice.

LOL... just as well you specified a round of drinks...

It's interesting that you, Tonto, prefer to browse before laying out the cash, whereas I prefer to make arrangements ahead of time. In my own case, I would be afraid that I might be carried away in the heat of the moment! I guess I'm just too damn conservative!

Agreed... That happened at the NF party last year. I contemplated an impromptu duo... didn't do it, but should have in hindsight.

Either approach has it's advantages.

Are you going to be coming to Hamilton for the party in January, Tonto?

When exactly is it?
I had to cancel at the last minute last year because of work commitments. Its a short drive for me and I'd like to meet some of the prospective golfers for next summer's TERB golf day.

OK...does this mean Trelew will be drooling over the Vixen all night?

As long as you don't have your beer bottle spectacles on... "Drink 'em perty!", as they used to say at an old watering hole I used to frequent!

Besides, with all the good looking guys like Tonto, Fitman and Gentle Ben there, the rest of us don't stand a chance of getting our first choice!
