Dear AllJust a quick reminder that we are meeting on Wednesday at the Private Dining room at Mal Maison, over the road from The Golden Lion. The room is at the back of the restaurant. Superb full breakfasts are available. The hotel have asked that cooked breakfast orders are placed by 7.30am if possible; this is more for our benefit so that we all eat together and so that we keep to our timings. A few more guests are joining us, so we could have a good turnout. There are 2 main items on the agenda for Wednesday:1 - our main event for 2007/2008, specifically date, venue, theme2 - thoughts on Mal Maison as a potential new venue; no decision needs to be made yet, however your thoughts are welcome. Key factors are - welcoming environment, space, service, price, modern. Thoughts welcome.See you on Wednesday.If you are not able to attend kindly let Chris and I know.Michelle
