Hi all,<br>
<br>
Firstly, I agree that wherever we choose needs to be reasonably
close to Cardiff Central and the bus station to allow as many people
as possible to attend. I live near the city centre so that would
also be convenient walking distance for me.<br>
<br>
I am not vegetarian or vegan, and am not that keen on Indian food,
so VFS would not appeal to me (that's why I didn't go last year).
However as we have used it the last nine years it must be a strong
contender and a safe bet.<br>
<br>
Personally a carvery would be good but most have very limited
vegetarian and vegan options (or indeed any options if you don't
want a roast), and I don't think there are any near Cardiff Central.<br>
<br>
I have no idea what Coopers Carvery is like, but my other experience
of Marston's food offerings have not been great. It probably depends
a lot on the individual establishment. It wouldn't be suitable for
the location criteria anyway.<br>
<br>
The suggested price range up to £35-ish is reasonable. We should
aim higher than Wetherspoons for our Christmas meal!<br>
<br>
I think partners or other guests (one per member) should be welcomed
but not expected as some of us are single.<br>
<br>
I know my reply rejects the option we have used for many years and
one other, and doesn't add anything, but it's my thoughts. I won't
be that bothered if I don't attend.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Paul<br>

<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Funnily enough I was thinking about this yesterday.</p>
<p>We've been going to VFS for 9 years in total. I'd much rather
go to VFS over pretty much anywhere else.</p>
<p>In the past people have bought non-linuxy partners, so that's
obviously fine.</p>
<p>Personally, I'm pretty fixed to it having to be something in or
near Central station, just so I don't have too far to walk to
get my train home.</p>
<p>The date is fine for me. VFS would be my personal choice.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Matt<br>
