I do hope you'll come! You can give me a boxing :-)

The Fair Vote Waterloo Holiday Potluck Get-Together and British Idiom
Committee is hard at work finalizing details now that the poll has
indicated Thusday, 27 December 2018 as the date approved by most of the
poll participants.

Cathy and John Scott have kindly volunteered to host!  We'll gather at
their house at 6:30pm. If you can, please bring a potluck dish to share:
appetizer, savoury snack, substantial entree, dessert, or even that
potluck staple, potato salad. Let us know on the list what you're
bringing so we can avoid duplicates. And when you come, please label
your dish if it contains wheat, nuts, eggs, dairy, meat, &c.
