Mmmm! The menu looks delicious!

This is a fantastic hostel in a great location. Really looking forward to it.

My cheque will be in the post this weekend

[JR]

Currently looks like I will be free for this - hopefully there'll be more than 13 spaces Mark!

JR.

[Marq]

JR - yes, more than 13 but makes it easier for me to edit the post on my phone when the flood of cheques start arriving!

Marq

[JR]

I know - I'm just pulling your leg - and since I'm attending a 'murder mystery' thing this evening, the "13 for dinner" schtick seemed apt!

JR.

[Lindsay M]

Menu choices:
A- soup
J - chicken
P - STP

Nom.

[Marq]

List updated.
Cath - no sign yet of yours

I plan to be in Buttermere this weekend if anyone wants to bring a cheque along.
Thanks
Marq

[CathS]

Hi Mark - I posted it 2nd Class on Saturday, but it missed the last collection, so give it another day or two and if it doesn't arrive I'll sort out another cheque at the weekend.

Annual awards.....(so as not to crash Marqs feed too much) I have posted up in the 'General' section, how to submit nominations for the 2018 Glittering Annual Dinner Awards.
Please check it out.
