How about cats named after Goons characters?

Thursday gets my vote.

This would be nice, but perhaps is a little too small, we had
24 respondents last time, and most of them turned up.

Present last time according to my list of bookings were:
Greg Bond
p-m
jem
Boyd
Arnold
Adina Hamilton
Doug Ray
mwp
LindaP
Andrew Mack
Anestis Kozakis
Craig Macbride + 1?
Chris Chittleborough
Joe Voros
David Penington
Jocelyn Sietsma
Stephen Boucher
Greg Rose
Kathryn Anderson
Stephen Lynch
David Kegal + 1
Gareth Bull

corrections welcome, but ignored :-)

Once again a good idea. Pretty cheap, very good food, and caters to the
vegetarian contingent, of whom there are several.

How small is this room?

This sounds like to best bet to me. I vote 1 for this venue, and 2 for
the old standby.

A final word....

I think it is important to have a room where we can all talk
and make a lot of noise. When we have tried to have these events
in a normal restaurant I have found them much less fun.

P.S. I though the first dinner was at Tamani's not Tiamo's.

Arnold.
