andybarton Posted August 6, 2010 Share #41 Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Just had this confirmation back from the restaurant "allora tutto confermato per la tua prenotazione. Attendo ora solamente il menù scelto." Which roughly translates as "then all confirmed your booking. I look forward only the menu selection." Over to you folks!

masjah Posted August 9, 2010 Share #45 Posted August 9, 2010 I'm sorry to say people, that Marilyn and I won't be able to make the 2010 Challenge; we're away on holiday elsewhere very shortly before then, and we can't go everywhere (sadly,since Venice is such a wonderful place)! But have a great time everyone, and we'll keep our fingers crossed that 2011 will be fine for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 10, 2010 Share #46 Posted August 10, 2010 That's a shame, John, but have a good holiday without us! So far, I have had 4 responses to my request for the menu order. I will keep badgering people until all are returned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted August 23, 2010 Share #54 Posted August 23, 2010 This is just a reminder that I am still awaiting a large number of requests for dinner. So far I have had 12. While I agreed a deadline with the restaurant of the end of September, I would appreciate it if we didn't leave this to the last minute, so that I can update my spreadsheet as we go along and I will be on leave and off-line for two weeks between now and then. Thanks. Those that have responded so far are: Andy & Ann Barton Carl & Ann Bretteville Stefan (StS) Max (batmax) Philippe Octo (Octo) Jono & Emma Slack Tim Delbeck Steve Ash Zokson I am still working on finding something suitable for Pete Farnsworth - he might have to bring a sandwich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
