Hi Vicky, Trini, Gwen and everyone
I propose to hold this on 28th June (Saturday) in Nandos restaurant in the centre of Exeter, in the new shopping centre. I can easily book a table and can be a bit flexible as I am lucky enough to know a member of staff.
I think the general theme in Nandos is chicken, but there is a good selection of side dishes and salads for any vegetarians among you.
It is close to the centre, cathedral yard, quay etc, should anyone wish to go sightseeing afterwards.
I am open to other suggestions please let me know if you wish to attend.

Nando's Menu
Jun 24, 2008
Hi all! Here is the link to the Nando's website and menu. Please have a look through and let me know what you would like. There are obviously several options. I thought one good idea, as there will be quite a few of us, was the "Jumbo Platter". We could indulge in this, and order other side orders and wine when everyone arrives. I can pay with my credit card afterwards and we you can all settle up with me by cash, if that is OK with everyone. Let... See more

I'm happy to have the Jumbo platter or any of the dishes to share if this will make things easier. The only thing I would say abou the chicken is that you have to choose how spicy the sauce is and in my case, it has to be as little as possible. I usually have the lemon & herbs sauce.
Can you also confirm that the booking is for 1 pm? I want to buy my train ticket today and I ... See more
Hi Mike,
I'm happy to have the Jumbo platter or any of the dishes to share if this will make things easier. The only thing I would say abou the chicken is that you have to choose how spicy the sauce is and in my case, it has to be as little as possible. I usually have the lemon & herbs sauce.
Can you also confirm that the booking is for 1 pm? I want to buy my train ticket today and I need to know what time I need to be there for.

Nando's Menu

Hi Mike, I, too, am happy to go with the jumbo platter, although the varying flavours and levels of spiciness may be an issue with that. What do you reckon? I'm with Trini - usually have lemon and herb or mango and lime. By the way, is there anywhere to park near there? Or should I park anywhere I can and walk in? See you all Saturday,
Vic

Jumbo platter sounds fine and then all the other bits and bobs can be sorted out on the day. Cheers Mike for sorting it!

Thanks Mike for posting the menu, it all looks delicious.
Actually, sorry to be such a killjoy but don't count me in as I'm veggie, though you can all still go ahead and have the platter - I will just get myself a beanie burger.
Looking forward to meeting you all!

No problem Sabina,
Thanks for letting me know. They do seem to have plenty of veggie side orders so you might not be confined to just a "beanie burger".
See you on the day
Mike

Hi all. Just to let you know i will be expecting a good friend of mine to attend, who is not listed as a proz.com member, who goes by the name of Tom. He has been a translator of Russian in the past, but is presently working as a secondary school teacher. He is looking forward to meeting everyone, but is obviously not posted on the pow wow board itself.
