There’s just over a week to go! :partying_face:
If anyone hasn’t yet added their name, please do so. I will let the curry house know numbers end of this week

yay, just found out about this yesterday.
I’m in :smiley:

Aah, would love to come, but there’s a strong chance I’ll be freezing my ass off in Finland, drinking too much nespresso coffee in lawyers’ offices… Thanks for organising Lottie, and I hope you all have fun!

Ah, Finnish coffee… it tops Nespresso on the scale of bitterness! :laughing:

Looks like I will not freeze in Finland after all… at least for now. Curry it is!

Fabulous! Glad to have you there :smile:

OK everyone, I’ll be calling the restaurant today with numbers.

Can’t wait to see you all for an Xmas knees up :partying_face:

Hi Lottie,

Can Naomi and I come? Struggling with the spreadsheet update from my phone- could you update it for us if there’s still room?

Thanks!

Will

I think you guys are already on it. Vegan option for you?

15

How mysterious… Yes, vegan pls!

Thanks Lottie,

Will

It’s Christmas Curry tomorrow!

Just a little note to say, as there are lots of us, if you could pay in cash I think the restaurant would be very grateful (and it would speed things up!). It’s £15.95 for the set meal, I’m sure there will be a service charge, and they have a licesnse so add on whatever booze you buy.

We are 30mins later than scheduled, so dinner is 8 for 8:30. I will still be in the Crown and Anchor from 18:30, in my nice new NLMC t-shirt (thank you @HollyP!) .

Can’t wait to see you all there! :partying_face:

I’m looking forward to the curry this evening. Looks like a massive turnout. Well done Lottie and thank you for organising. Good call about bringing cash.

Suggestion for ease of bill accounting and thinking ahead to when thinking might just be a little harder: can folks organise groups (say 4-6 people, maybe by table) for the purposes of billing and agree those groups with their waiter / waitress. Saves having one enormous bill and the last people out being left to protect the club reputation with wads of their own cash well beyond what they ate and drank themselves!
