This has become a serious event. I like.

Doubtless our fearless organiser is about to ask us a question (menu), to which my answer is as follows:
• Soup of the day;
• Burger + fries + salad;
• Welsh rarebit.

And again.

Table space has become tight. There was a tasting in February at which the Red Room table was missing a panel, and it was very very tight. On the day, please check that isn’t so.
