People wishing to attend, could you please confirm no later than Friday January 10th so I can book =)

OK So the most they could do was 12 in one booking. I have booked for 12, there are 11 here (plus Martin, making it 12).

The other option, which I could also do, is book two separate tables of 7 or 8? Would that be ok by people?

I have been there a few times. From memory the largest physical tables they have are the big round banquet-style tables with a lazy susan in the middle. I assume these tables "seat 12".

If the group is any bigger you could make two bookings and telephone to ask that they give you two adjacent tables.

 

[TomVexille]

I already told my mate he could come. Do I need to tell him otherwise?

He can go out with Martin's date and housemate... oh wait...

 

[TomVexille]

Actually, that might be safer than introducing him to you lot...

You of all people know that's quite a big call...

 

[drewbles]

OK I just changed the booking. We now have 2 x tables of 8, meaning that TomVexille's friend, and straitman and friend can also attend.

List now is:

That makes 15, and one spare spot still. I'm assuming people will be happy with that?

I put a note in the booking requesting adjoining tables, so lets see if it works.

Thanks drewbles​. Looking forward to Sunday.

Sorry to do this at this late stage but I have to cancel.

A family matter has come up suddenly and being in MEL I'm expected to be involved and attend on Sunday morning.
