Prices are inclusive of VAT. Service is discretionary, but a recommended 12.5% will be added to your bill
But seriously I now have to ask you all to make a choice from the above menu. Once you have made your choice can you please PM it to MOTHEROFPEARL. Because I am also up to my eyes with the postcards for Forumfest she has kindly volunteered to coordinate the menu choices.. You will need to PM her before Fri 11th July (next Fri). Also we have arranged that there will be 5 tables of 10 each and each table will be responsible for their own bill. Please remember that from the start the menu is £25 per head plus 12 and 1/2 % service charge. We have agreed with Jeremy that people will go up to the bar and order their own drinks seperately to try and keep things as uncomplicated as possible.
Nearer the time we will post exact details of directions etc..
On a very serious note I have given over my credit card details for all the people listed on the Supperclub section as definitely coming..if any of you don't show then I will be charged £10 per head!!!! I know this will not be an issue but I had to mention it!!!
Girls it is going to be FABULOUS!!!!!!!
P.S. I am also going to post this on the supperclub section

Hi Sally
I know I won't be there, but I just had to post and say I do admire how much work you have done and effort you have made to ensure the day goes smoothly and everyone enjoys it.
I will be in Cambridge for Miss F's graduation on the 19th, but I will toasting you all! Why do two nice things always happen on the same day?

Thanks, Mother of Pearl. Yes, most of them made now. Just a sprinkle of glitter to add here and there.
They have a little clip thing at the back, but you could clip it to a safety-pin if you don't want to spoil your outfit. I'll bring some.

Can I just say these are not any old badges - they are individual works of art, handcrafted by Loo (with no assistance from Teddy or Andy Pandy lol)!

SAlly,
The menu looks great, the waiters sound even better, do they know what is going to hit them on the 19th, have you warned them. You have all done a stirling job to have organised and put so much effort on our behalf on what I know is going to be a memorable day. Plasmo x

Afternoon ladies...I just wanted to bring this back to the top of the page again so everyone sees it!!!!
Summer has just asked a very relevant question on the Supperclub page about a table plan for the 19th. Rather than repeat it all here, please read my response on that thread and if anyone wants to PM me then please do!!!
