Club Fitting Out Supper - Tuesday 29th April, time 7.30

Venue is The Feathers, in Rickmansworth.
We are hiring a separate room, which should make it more pleasant. 
 

Note the tables can be arranged double sided to up the numbers but we will be limited to around 25 persons.

Reduced menu to follow, but prices are very reasonable compared to some other venues.
However, we will need to spread the actual cost of the room hire amongst the attendees, so this should be £4/5 per person.  Still not expensive overall,
 
Regards to all,
Colin
