Bill and Carmel and their team did a great job for us - very tasty food, generous portions and prompt and attentive service. It is amazing how well you lot scrub up - and always fascinating to see people as they really are, beyond the lycra and the helmets. We had to get into a bit of quantum physics to work out the bill, but that just added to the fun. It was also a bonus to have samples of the new club shirt there for people to pass round and try on. We now have a good idea of the sizing when worn over the top of party dresses... Thanks to all for a fun and sociable evening.
