[HLUG] Fwd: Christmas LUG meal - Italian meal in Hereford or Leominster anyone next week?

[Julian Robbins]

Hi Everyone

As the weather has turned decidedly more wintery, I'm not sure if that's
why there's been no replies about our LUG Christmas meal or whether it's
just bad timing for many this week.

I'm hoping we can still have a meal: we missed a number of LUG meetings
during the pandemic, and it's always good to catch up with old friends
around Christmas, so don't want to miss out this time.

This Wednesday is also open again now. I held off suggesting this Weds for
the meal in case England were playing in the World Cup semifinals, but
sadly that is now not the case. :-(

So please anyone who would like to come along, please state which day is
best for you (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday this week  and which venue,
Hereford or Leominster Italian restaurant.

Day

   - Tuesday
   - Wednesday
   - Thursday

Restaurant

   - Leominster (Il Vigneto)
   - Hereford (Ponte Vecchio)


If you can't make it, please also reply below with why. Then at least it'll
help me plan better next time ... ;-)

Many thanks

Julian

Hi all

Hope everyone is well and enjoyed this nice sunny (but cold) weather we've
had recently.

As you probably know we do not have a normal Linux User Group meeting in
December, instead we go for a meal and probably still talk about Linux or
Open Source a bit to'o :-) It's a good time to catch up with friends in the
group, especially if you haven't been able to get to a meeting for a while.

Everyone is welcome, e.g. friends, partners, anyone.

Last meeting, Tim, George and I discussed going to the Ponte Vecchio
(Italian) <https://www.pontevecchiohereford.co.uk/christmas-2022> in
Hereford again this year, but I'm aware that time is moving on quickly now,
so we may need to be flexible with dates to make sure they have a table for
us. They have a fixed Christmas menu to partly reduce costs and ease for
themselves and us which seems like a good idea (menu in link above).

Another option is the new Italian restaurant in Leominster, Il Vigneto
<https://uk.news.yahoo.com/herefordshire-italian-restaurant-proves-instant-063000202.html>.
I've not been in myself as yet, but it certainly looks very pleasantly
decorated from the outside.

Normally we go on a Wednesday, but England, if they beat France will be
playing Wednesday, so next Tuesday 13th or Thursday 15th would be the
suggested dates for our meal to avoid a World cup clash !

So please let me know your availability and which place(s) you'd like to go
to and I'll get something booked up.

Thanks

Julian
