I have checked with them that slight variations can be made (say to the pizza toppings) or to add more vegetarian options.

They would also like to have our choice of main dish a few days in advance, so please let me know what you think you would like to have.

Cheers!

The've also told me that we need to give the menu choices a few days in advance, so I would need to have them by Wednesday 8th December at the latest.

An extra one Nov 28, 2010

Hi Trini,

I think, if I remember rightly, Dean said he'd be free to come on 11th too, but he's in Brazil at the moment I think and obviously hasn't signed up but I'm pretty sure he was planning on joining us.

See you soon,

Vicky
