There is still time to join us for Xmas Dinner at the Beaufort on Saturday December 9th 2000. All list members, their family and friends are welcome. The dinner will build on the success of the Get Together we held in September although it is intended to be more of a social event than a research event. I will be finalising numbers with Mark at the Beaufort later this week (although this won't stop anyone attending). Indeed if you just want to join us for the day and not have the Xmas dinner then you are of course more than welcome to do this as well. Myself and Mrs Pond Dipper will be staying in a cottage on Inglestone Common for the weekend and will be available from 11am (if I get my way) or 12 noon (if Mrs P gets hers) at The Beaufort on the Saturday. Cost of the dinner is £9.75 per head. There is an over 60's option at £7.75 which is a smaller meal. Those of you who have already let me know you are coming now need to decide what you are going to eat. Please choose ONE from the main course and One from the Pudding. Main course, 1 Roast turkey with Chippolata, bacon, seasonal stuffing and cranberry sauce or 2 Scotch Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding 3 Vegetarian Option All main courses served with fresh veg and roast potatoes. Pudding 1 Christmas Pudding 2 Meringue Nests with Raspberry Coulis and Cream 3 Cheese and Biscuits all washed down with coffee and mints.
