andybarton Posted July 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's that time of year again... The Vienna One Challenge is being held on Saturday 17th October 2015 and as is now traditional, we will be organising dinner for anyone who wishes to join us. With Carsten's help, we may have found a suitable venue for both the lunchtime meeting and dinner, but will be able to confirm that later. We have always found somewhere pretty good for these events, even when we have a good turn-out, and I am sure that 2015 will be no exception. On the list I have the following: Andy Barton x2Carsten Dannat x4James Earley x1Carl Bretteville x2Philippe Octo x2Christoph Dobrusskin x2Dan Bachmann x2Pete Farnsworth x1Brian Parkes x1Ravi Bindra x1Simon Leach x 2 1/2John Howarth x2Stefan Seider x1Philipp Potocki x2John Görten x1Tom Lane x2Rick Peterson x3Ted Ernhill x1John Cartwright x1Lars Valk x1Robert Parker x1Wolfgang Esslinger x1 Eckart Friz x1 (veggie) Vasken Ohanian x2 So, I make that 39 1/2. As always, we will need to confirm the numbers closer to the date (once we have made a provisional booking), but please add your names to the thread if you will be joining us, or let me know if you can no longer make it. Many thanks PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE TO CONFIRM NUMBERS AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER, SO THE LIST WILL BE CLOSING THEN. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted July 28, 2015 I think that we may have found a suitable place that can cater for us all. We are just checking with them, but they can go up to 300... which should be enough! They have a "prix fixe set menu" for groups, but there is plenty of choice on that menu. As soon as we can confirm, I will post details here. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolotse Posted July 30, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 30, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Andy, my aunt and uncle, who have been to Istanbul's challenge last year, would like to join in Vienna as well. Please, be so kind to correct Carsten Dannat from x2 to x4. Cheers, Carsten 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted August 3, 2015 I am pleased to say that with the brilliant help of Carsten, we have made a booking at the Esterhazykeller restaurant. This is situated in the basement of what looks like an old castle at Haarhof 1, 1010 Vienna. It's nice and central and is easily capable of catering for a large party such as ourselves. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! A booking has provisionally been made for 32, but they are aware that numbers are likely to increase as we get closer to the date. Tables have been booked for 20:00hrs. For groups, they offer a buffet arrangement, so that there will be a choice from the attached menu - we have decided to push the boat out and go with the whole Euro 32.90 option (plus a Euro 1 tip! - not sure if this is correct, but...). We have asked for vegetarian options too, of course. Esterhazy Buffet Menu.pdf They also have a cafe above ground that will do very nicely for the lunchtime meeting too. Closer to the time, I will do the usual instruction pages, for those of you who like to laminate and collect these things 8 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

earleygallery Posted August 3, 2015 Share #9 Posted August 3, 2015 Looks a nice choice - just had a quick look on Tripadvisor, mostly very good reviews. One comment I noticed to be aware of, apparently they don't take credit cards - so we need to bring cash. Now, what to choose from the menu........ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted August 3, 2015 I noticed the comment about cards just now as well. To be honest, when there's a large party, cash is king anyway. It's much easier to account for, as is the set-price menu. I also suspect that the comments re the service being patchy wouldn't apply to a group of 30 or 40, but we will have to wait and see! The place was recommended by a colleague/friend of Carsten who used to live in the city, btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 3, 2015 Share #11 Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) It looks perfect, nice and traditional, and it's always best to go on personal recommendations. It also looks to be near my hotel edit - nope, 27mins walk. I'll have to stop off for a beer rest en route!
