Donington Friday Curry Evening - Fri 19th April 2013

[Enright]

I've started this thread so that the arrangements for the Curry Evening don't swamp the rest of the organisation for Donington 2013.

I popped into the Melbourne Arms on my way home from work last night. I've reserved spaces for 30 at the moment sitting on Friday 19th April at 8pm, all having the set meal for £16 per head, as that seems to have worked pretty well in the past. Details of it are here: http://www.melbournearms.com/images/pdf ... t_2009.pdf

We'll be able to tweak the numbers nearer the time. However to anyone who hasn’t put their name/s down yet: don't count on being able to squeeze in at the last minute, because it vastly increases your chances of disappointment (they don't like being made to run round preparing extra on their busiest night of the week).

If interested just copy the list below and add yourself/selves to it, if you haven't already done so. When it gets above 40 then I may start getting a bit twitchy, but we're fine for the moment - the more the merrier - even LEF'ers!

One previous year there was a bit of a problem with numbers. A few dropped out without removing themselves from the list, which left us rather short on the night. The restaurant had prepared almost 50% more meals than were actually needed, but fortunately they didn't demand that we pay the full amount. Because of this, please could everyone put down a tenner per head deposit? It will only leave £6 plus beer to pay for on the night, and will give much more confidence in the final tally.

I'd rather not do PayPal cos I'd get stiffed for charges to draw it all out again. So if everyone could send a cheque to the address below it would be much appreciated, and I'll bring along all the cash on the night. I can accept direct bank transfers if you’d rather pay that way, but please PM me for the details as I’d rather not stick that kind of info on an open forum!

Neil, I've dropped you a PM about payment. I'll drop some cash round soon when you're in and I actually remember.

Being as though there is no minibus this year I can volunteer to sort out the transport as most are currently travelling to and from the same place.

Assuming everyone wants in on the taxis, so far I make it 19 needing to get from Travelodge to Curry and back. Paul F & Oliver F are down for stopping at the travelodge Friday night but arn't down for the curry?

Whats the preferred timing on the taxis? 19:00 pick-up at travelodge and 23:00 pick-up for the return trip? Or do people want less/more time?

Edit: Added Jim to the list needing transport
Edit2: ditto Martin

You're a gent for jumping on this one (it saves me doing the 'Google Gamble').

I'd take a seat each way for Friday and Saturday evenings, please (timings will be at your discretion - I'll be ready for whenever I have to be!)
