    It's somehow very nearly that time of year again!

    Is anyone up for Secret Santa 2016?

    Just read the guidelines, 3 bottles isnt worth shipping international.
    Love the idea but bpost and customs are cutting it short.

    Okay, let's have a round up.

    To last year's players: @Hoppsbabo & @Kozel you in this year?
    It looks like @Pulley9 is inactive.

    @EmperorBevis I'd be happy to allow you in with only 2 bottles, unless others have a problem. Festive spirit and all that.

    Then I've got @CwrwAmByth & @captaincoffee as confirmed.

    @Euroglot & @YvesB, thank you for your interest. This topic was breached last year, and I think because of the costs / restrictions, we decided to keep it mainland UK.
    However maybe you could get a pan-euro thread going? I'd certainly look in to it.

    As mentioned to @YvesB and @Euroglot, might be worth starting a euro thread? I'd certainly take a look.
    But for this, we decided to keep it UK, as to not exclude anyone.

    Speaking of which... @Kozel, you in?

    Count me out actually. Just realised as I started work on the 12th I'll be running on half a paycheck for December.

    No problem! Let me know for the European! I will leave for home on the 16 so if it goes forward I should post it before!

    Cheshire brewhouse is having problems with getting the bottles for one of thes ale that I'd want to send, my Christmas payday is going to be the 23rd of December!
    We are onto the 1st no already with no lists drawn up.
    Perhaps we should get this planned a little more advanced for next year.
    I don't know if we can salvage anything from this year but I think I would be getting my package sent of too late to arrive for the 25th :/

    Due to lack of numbers, and the impending arrival of Chirstmas panic, I would consider the plug officially pulled on Secret Santa this year - regrettably.

    We'll be back in 2017, bigger and better!

    Seeing as this effort failed last year, I thought I'd bring it up a couple weeks earlier this year so (perhaps) it can be sorted well in advance of any Xmas panic. No idea how it all worked out in 2015, but I'm in this year if we get a quorum.

    If this were to be turned into a Secret Santa Europe, I'd be quite happy to participate.

    I think the issue is shipping. A small parcel under 2kg within the UK is only 3 GBP vs over 13 GBP to ship the same box to Germany. To keep it simple, this thread is just for the UK. However, you could start a euro-wide thread for the same thing.
