Well if its on the 31st july, then i am on day shift and YOU are on nightshift. Youll need to take sat and sun night off to attend the event!
ALL annual leave is paid as if at work OR you could work till 12pm/am, go home sick and still get paid for the whole shift as if it work (trust me, i did this one the other day).
Not to worry if no one attends... atleast the pub of choice will be able to handle the load! (unlike the Albion) But, the last cruise, people didn't really show a whole heap of interest on here. It was the number of people that turned up on the day that blew the attendance numbers up.
