In my role as self-appointed, but seemingly undisputed, meet leader may I suggest that we maintain our customary practice and have a communal meal on Saturday evening? As we had curry in September and a chilli based meal in October, suggest something simple like sausage and mash., unless the veggies can propose something more exciting. How about vegetable soup, sausage or veggie alternative, mashed potatoes plus add ons as required: cabbage, gravy, onions, mushrooms, salad etc with apple crumble for afters?
