Interested, but Dec is difficult/impossible. Jan much better for me, if a new year GTG appeals...?

How about the BBC (Belgian Beer Cafe) in Southbank? Not sure if they are open throughout Jan though...

January sounds good !
The last time we tried december, it was a bit hard to organise as people had other stuff on....
If there aren't any objections, I might ask one or two other watch nuts to join us .....
