Dear All
Following on from a meeting I have had this morning with Malmaison, we will try 2 weeks on Wednesday 7th and Wednesday 14th of November 2007 at Malmaison - over the road from The Golden Lion. The venue is nice, modern, welcoming, private and they have offered us a discounted fee.
I have negotiated a special price of £10 per head (normally £13.50) to include continental and or/fully cooked breakfast and tea or coffee. Just tea or coffee is £2.50. We will have the Private Dining Room in the Brasserie for the meetings; a larger room can be made available at no charge if we are doing a bigger presentation - the only fee we will have is breakfast per person.
We need to place breakfast orders by 7.30am ideally, so to have an idea of numbers would be a fantastic help.
Let’s give it a go and see how we get on. See you on Wednesday 7 November at Malmaison. One of their staff will be on hand to show us round. We have a speaker on the 14th.
