[Astro] [CAPT] Christmas Meal Signup

[Joseph Butler]

Hi all,

I’ll take this opportunity to clarify the dress code for tomorrow, since a lot of people have asked me today what’s okay to wear. The formal dress code was to give people the opportunity to dress up, and if you have that then please do (e.g. suit+tie, dresses, blazers), but if you don’t then it’s fine to just come in something on the smarter side, e.g. black jeans and a shirt.

I’ll also include the key details: the meal is at The Embankment (282-284 Arkwright Street, Nottingham, NG2 2GR) on Thursday (tomorrow) evening. We have the whole upstairs booked from 6:30pm with starters being served at 7:30pm, so probably aim to arrive between 6:30-7:00pm. Car parking is available at the venue, there is a bus stop (Victoria Embankment) across the road from the venue with lots of services running from town, or alternatively it is a ~15 minute walk from Nottingham train station. There are namecards at everyone’s seats with the food orders on the back, so don’t worry if you don’t remember what you ordered. See you all tomorrow!

Joe

Hi,

I'm very sorry. I hadn't noticed the "no jeans" dress code, and a lunch group said my attire then, with jeans, was fine. I only brought jeans and sweat pants... Would it be OK to join with dark jeans, a purple collared shirt and maybe a tie?

Kind regards,
Joonas

Hi everyone,

The Christmas season is fast approaching, which means it’s time to sign up for the annual CAPT Christmas dinner!

Venue & Timings
The three-course meal will take place on Thursday 5th December at The Embankment (282-284 Arkwright Street, Nottingham, NG2 2GR). We will be seated in the upstairs function room in this Grade II listed building, with our own private bar + toilets. We have the room from 6:30pm - 11:00pm, with starters being served at 7:30pm. Car parking is available, there is a bus stop (Victoria Embankment) across the road from the venue with lots of services running from town, or alternatively it is a ~15 minute walk from Nottingham train station.

Registration & Costs
If you would like to attend, please fill out this google form with your allergens/dietary requirements, meal choices, and whether you’d like a plus one:

The deposit will be £8, which will cover the room hire, decorations, and a drink on arrival! At a later point I will then request the money for the meal itself, which will be ~£35 for the three-course meal or ~£30 for the two-course meal. The deadline for signing up and paying the deposit will be Friday 18th October. Please send this to either my monzo account (the same one that you usually send coffee money to, https://monzo.me/josephbutler62), or alternatively my bank details are the following:

Name: Joseph Butler
Sort Code: 40-25-22
Account Number: 91460854

Please put your reference as: your first name + surname initial + meal, i.e. JoeBmeal.

Menu
The dinner menu is attached as a pdf. The winter roots soup (starter), butternut squash tart (main) and berry crumble (dessert) can all be modified to be vegan, but are not by default, so make sure to say you’re vegan in the dietary requirements section of the form if you’d like this. If you have any allergens or other dietary requirements and would like more information on the dishes and/or whether modifications are possible, then please email me so I can ask the venue.

Other
This year we have decided on a formal dress code, so smart attire please - no jeans! If you have any changes you need to make to your choices/attendance after the deadline, email me as early as possible so there’s the best chance of getting it sorted out.

TLDR: Fill out the google form and send me the £8 deposit by Friday 18th October if you’d like to come to the meal on Thursday 5th December.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Joe & Fiona
