[Liverpool] December Meeting/Meal Plan Number infinity

[jn1057]

We should have written a drama or sitcom based on our plans for this Christmas get together meal!

Arranging anything by commity is always near on impossible. Being able to please everyone in regard the variables of menu, location, timetable, cost, deposit and others just doesn't seem possible. Our plan of the Shipping Forecast does seem to be the best all round solution. Everyone involved in making the suggestions and arrangements i feel should be thanked and congratulated for perfecting a difficult task!

Hopefully i can make it there also but as yet im still not sure of my plans for that time.

Even so, i wish everyone a very good evening!

</div>I've just found that I have to give an online tutorial that evening - could have sworn it was the 14th!  So I won't be able to make it after all.

Hi Folks,

So far only 7 people have confirmed they're coming to the December LUG
meal. I had said I'd book it this weekend but that was before l
discovered l'd need to pay £10 deposit for each person and it's non
refundable.

I'm not really up for shelling out £70-80 and dealing with deposits is
just a pain. I looked around and every other restaurant also has this
December deposit scheme. Even Bella Italia. So I have a new plan.

The Shipping Forecast does decent food: burgers, chicken, fish and
veggie options. It's diner style stuff in baskets but very nice. I can
ask them to save us a table without having to pay, or we can just turn
up and grab a spot. It's not usually that busy on a Wednesday night.

We know the place and it also solves the issue of finding a pub after
the meal. It doesn't matter so much how many people turn up, there'll
always be room. You can choose to eat or not, order when you want and
it'll all be a lot more flexible.

So I propose we just meet at Shipping Forecast 7pm on the first Weds in
December.


Well, I've finally managed to solve my scheduling conundrum - so I'm ready to join you guys Wednesday - if there is still room at the inn! :-)
