It is that time of year again when we dust off the old dinner jacket, practise knotting a bow tie and prepare a tearful speech in case we get called to the stage to receive one of those coveted statues, salvers and medals in honour of excellence on the football pitch.

That's not what this thread is for though. First we have to decide when we'll hold our annual award night, through the medium of ^thissing. A list of possible dates will appear shortly below, and feel free to vote for more than one.

Football is not a democracy, so don't be disappointed if the most popular date doesn't happen because I can't find a suitable venue. And if we go for a Wednesday night, proceedings will kick off slightly later than normal, due to me and one or two others playing elsewhere earlier on (but no later than a 8:30 PM start)

^this away!
