Yes, Isobel and Nick's Millennial Open House is still on course! 

Even though you haven't heard much from us over the last few months,
our plans are coming to fruition. Realising that there would probably
(inevitably?) be a lot of other parties this New Year, we decided to
do something more protracted and more informal, to give everyone a
chance to come. The open house is planned to run from 29th December to
5th January (ie. the evenings of the 29th to the 4th), and you're
welcome to come for as much or as little as you want.

There should be a separate paper mailing winging its way to you, but
this is a one-month warning for those of you who have email.

We're having the open house at Isobel's flat on the campus of the
University of Bath, so accommodation should be no problem. We're
hiring one of the nearby student houses, which should be enough to put 
up people who want beds with beds, and people who don't with
floors. The university campus is still green and pleasant at that time 
of year, and has the added advantage of having its own water and
electricity supply just in case everything goes horribly
pear-shaped...

The city of Bath has a lot on offer, from beautiful buildings and
genteel parks to friendly restaurants, three cinemas, a theatre and
more good pubs than you can shake a stick at. There are a number of
attractions a short drive away, such as Avebury (and its stone
circle), Silbury Hill, Marlborough and Stonehenge.

We're planning some entertainments for those who turn up, possibly
including a trip to the panto, cinema trips to see the Christmas
releases (Kevin Smith's latest, Dogma, comes out on Boxing Day), silly 
games, treasure hunts and the like.

What we need to know from you now is what dates you'd like to come (so 
we can sort out the food), whether you'd like accommodation (and of
what sort), and what sort of things you'd be interested in doing while 
you're here. Oh, and while we'll be able to feed you, this won't
include the alcohol, so BYOB.
