Just to remind both LAN veterans and LAN virgins alike that we are organising a steak night on the Friday night in the Hotel. IIRC, the cost will be in the region of £20
To ensure that they order enough food please can you indicate whether or not you're interested.
Poll running for a week.
Thanks

PLEASE NOTE :
As per the discussion HERE (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=24077), we do need to have a significant attendance from people on the Friday night. I'm not going to reiterate the discussion but basically the hotel doesn't take bookings for the part of the restaurant that we use on the Friday and hence lose a lot of covers. Coupled with the fact we have subsdised room rates and FREE use of the £500 per day conference room we need to make the weekend viable for them as well as for us.
That said, no one is forced to attend on the Friday night so it's totally your call.
What else will be happening at the dinner?
For the first time, we will also explain what competitions and games are running over the weekend, sign ups for the competitions will also be done as well as the drawing of lots to see who plays on which team.
There will also be usual mix of witty banter coupled with copious amounts of wine, beer and single malt.
Please participate in the poll as I need to get numbers to the hotel.
Ta muchly.
Medium-rare please! :D
2 portions of witty banter, coupled with enough wine, beer and a single malt.
In fact I may have 2 single malts

Well done for me, add some W(h)it(t)ey banter and a few Stellas.
In the past the veggie option has been dissappointing, hence my failure to attend for the past few LANs.
I do enjoy the witty repartie and watching people hold forth but paying £20 for a plate of pasta with tomato sauce seems a bit steep.
I'll see what they have on the menu and then I might join you.
'wipe it's arse and stick it on the plate' :yahoo:
Looking forward to the steak night :).

Mostly have it with a small pink line in the middle, but this is hard to get, so well done for me please :)
I'll be eating mine practically raw:dribble:, but Bru is a veggie so he will be wanting salad:rolleyes:
Absolutely positively most defintely will be there.
From a veggie point of view, I agree we could spice the stuff up a bit from what I saw last time, so if you have some suggestions for the veggie menu then please let Penfold or me know beforehand and we can try and sort it out with the hotel so that you get decent food and decent value for money. Likewise if someone is after fish as an alternative, just shout beforehand and we'll see what we can do to help. No promises, but the hotel like us and we might be able to expand and improve their veggie culinary offerings a bit!

Med Rare for me. Oh yes I can feel the meat fatigue already :)
mmmmmmmmmm steak:woot2:
You all nom away on your steaks.
Last time the hospital gave me a hearty dinner of a small piece of fish and a microscopic smidge of scrambled egg for breakfast.
I'm going to break out and hobble to the pub a mile away if I have to, absolutely starving last time round!
This makes me wish I was coming even more. :(

Hi guys.I will love to dine with you all.As for the veggie options i know that we have mushroom rissoto,Roast vegitable wellington and a fantastic veggie curry.I would like to mention that meat is very expensive from our suppliers atm so dont get a shock.look farward to seeing you all soon.
Thanks Pavlo.
I did speak to Belinda and she said:
Yes have confirmed steaks with chef for Friday. He said meat is expensive so I suggested that he provide plenty of cheaper cuts such as rump sirloin etc but in diff sizes.
Thanks
