[Swlug] SWLUG Christmas curry 2023?

[Matt Moore]

Hey,

I had been thinking of arranging this again.

So yes, put me down, it's great the someone else is going to do all the 
stress and hassle of arranging it.

The first one was in 2012 and the last one was in 2019 for obvious 
reasons.  Depressingly when we first started doing this it was around 
£10 or so.

Cheers,

Matt
