Why not dash your hiking boots, wash your manky socks, scrub the sheep sh... from your nails, and come and join us for another Go Explore Christmas 2024 celebration heading to the Mercure Exeter Rougemont [Hotel](https://exeterrougemont.klarenthospitalityevents.com/)

This will also mark the occasion of the 8th Anniversary of this meetup group, and all that we have done together (old and new members, and anyone in between are very welcome!)
The group was founded in December 2016, and was known as 'South Devon Food Heaven' until we changed the name and emphasis of the group to Go Explore, in February 2020.

Yet again we can eat, drink, dance/prance and get our jingle bells out. Expect some, chart toppers, disco sounds, and not forgetting those cringeworthy Christmas classics...

The cost per person this year IS £42, which includes the 3 course menu offering, the DJ will play back ground music throughout dinner, then liven things up after dinner until 12am.

A £15 deposit is required when you join the going list
THE £27 BALANCE ALONG WITH MENU CHOICES REQUIRED BY THE 24th OCTOBER 2024

This is what they say:
