Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
So far only 7 people have confirmed they're coming to the December LUG<br>
meal. I had said I'd book it this weekend but that was before l<br>
discovered l'd need to pay £10 deposit for each person and it's non<br>
refundable.<br>
<br>
I'm not really up for shelling out £70-80 and dealing with deposits is<br>
just a pain. I looked around and every other restaurant also has this<br>
December deposit scheme. Even Bella Italia. So I have a new plan.<br>
<br>
The Shipping Forecast does decent food: burgers, chicken, fish and<br>
veggie options. It's diner style stuff in baskets but very nice. I can<br>
ask them to save us a table without having to pay, or we can just turn<br>
up and grab a spot. It's not usually that busy on a Wednesday night.<br>
<br>
We know the place and it also solves the issue of finding a pub after<br>
the meal. It doesn't matter so much how many people turn up, there'll<br>
always be room. You can choose to eat or not, order when you want and<br>
it'll all be a lot more flexible.<br>
<br>
So I propose we just meet at Shipping Forecast 7pm on the first Weds in<br>
December.<br>

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! :-)<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
