Monday week. Don’t print early.
Good point.
Makes my diary and travel arrangements much easier that we are getting together Monday week.

Do we need to give a food order in advance, or is that only needed for a larger group?

I remember there being only one type of chips. You get what you’re given, and then say “thank you Miss”.

Ian added to
food order . As I’ve never had the potted shrimps, and they are heavily praised, I’m changing my starter to that.
Awaiting Rupert, who has also been emailed.

We’re still coming to the Boot & Flogger on Monday 9th February, in the Green Room — yes please. Most people have sent me their food orders, and what I have is at
www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150209_ThePortForum_food.pdf
If Rupert contacts me I’ll add his request, which might or might not happen before you download the page.
Also, please could we have about 80 white-wine glasses.
Thank you.
