CaterBram Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Umm Special Dietary requirements........ A nice fillet steak or other form of beef on the main course would be nice..... ☹️ Edited by - CaterBram on 20 Sep 2014 20:55:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Headmaster Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yes something us northerners are used to. Its all a bit fancy. Some of us like it plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 There wasn't a beef option provided I'm afraid Chris. We thought that roast lamb would suit most of those with conservative northern tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterBram Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 LOL, not a problem, must be my taste that's strange as whilst i'll eat most thing's i've not yet seen a menu on awards lunch / dinner, which i've really looked forward to.... end up trying to come for the friends & banter rather than the food....... But I know what a thankless task organising events like this are so don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaterBram Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've booked , but still think the menu's lame, but i'll enjoy the company if probably not the food..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We have booked as well - looking forward to picking up and keeping forever a huge trophy Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team rob spencer Posted October 17, 2014 Support Team Share Posted October 17, 2014 Marki was wondering if AB would mind a short diversion to pick me up for the lunch. It would certainly mean I could enjoy Andrew's very kind offer. And I could talk Alan through my last Anglesey2 lap which I think he would appreciate, don't you?Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Bowler Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Rob - more than happy to pick you up and drop you home if I attend (waiting to hear on work commitments). We'll be visiting family though as well, so there won't be much room in the car. That should be fine - you aren't expecting to bring anything back from the awards lunch are you? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team rob spencer Posted October 20, 2014 Support Team Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks for the offer Alan but it might be a bit too far for you with the whole family in tow. And no, I'm expecting to come away empty handed *weeping*Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Can those that intend to come but have not yet booked please place your orders ASAP? We currently do not have enough people coming for the lunch to be viable If you intend to come please call Sam and book ASAP, otherwise we will have to cancel as there is a minimum charge from the venue that we have to cover. We need over 40 bookings and we currently have less than 30. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon.Rogers Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Oh don't worry Phillip - Wendy will have lots of company - there will be lots of other laddies in the corrner talking about shoes, hats and other assorted shopping "upgrades".Remember whatever budget you are thinking of you have to double it. So remember keep those "BUDGET" costs down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 D'ont worry SImon, I can keep excessive expenditure secret but as a 140 " no power " I will be lobbying for restrictions of horsepower not for TB'S and Emeralds as my budgets are already blown on wheels/tyres/gearbox upgrades for this season!!
